==IMDb, Allmovie, and other external links==
 
−
External links to resources such as the [[Internet Movie Database]] (IMDb), [[Allmovie]] and any official website are no longer included in this template. Nevertheless, these resources and others may be usefully added to the External Links section of the article using the following templates:
 
−
 
−
*{{tlx|Amg movie|id{{=}}amg_id|title{{=}}film title}}
 
−
*{{tlx|Mojo title|id{{=}}bom_id|title{{=}}film title}}
 
−
*{{tlx|imdb title|id{{=}}imdb_id|title{{=}}film title}}
 
−
*{{tlx|Metacritic film|id{{=}}mc_id|title{{=}}film title}}
 
−
*{{tlx|rotten-tomatoes|id{{=}}rt_id|title{{=}}film title}}
 
−
*{{tlx|tcmdb title|id{{=}}tc_id|title{{=}}film title}}
 
−
*{{tlx|ymovies title|id{{=}}ym_id|title{{=}}film title}}

===History===
 
−
When this infobox template was first created, in December 2004, one of the parameters created an external link to the [[Internet Movie Database]] (IMDb). Irrespective of the fact that IMDb is not used as a [[Wikipedia:Reliable sources|reliable source]] for [[Wikipedia:Verifiability|verifying]] content in Wikipedia articles, it still is a resource that many people, including editors ''and'' readers of Wikipedia, often turn to.
 
−
 
−
In more recent years, additional external websites have become increasingly useful resources, including [[Allmovie]], [[Box Office Mojo]], [[Metacritic]] and [[Rotten Tomatoes]]. Also, modern films almost invariably have an official website. As a consequence, new external links were added to and removed from the infobox as [[Wikipedia:Consensus#Consensus can change|consensus changed]] on the subject.
 
−
 
−
Discussions about the fate of these links took place in numerous places over some time, with a number of people advocating removal of all external links from the infobox, if not the article as a whole. Others spoke of the value of having at least a link to IMDb in the infobox. Eventually, a far from undisputed consensus arose to remove all external links from the infobox and to move them to the External links section where appropriate in view of the [[Wikipedia:External links|External links guideline]].
 
−
 
−
Important points towards this [[Wikipedia:Consensus|consensus]] included fact that the infobox could not include all of the available links and that it would be inappropriate to pick and choose one or a few of those links over others. Suggestions that losing access to the most useful of the available links (typically IMDb) would damage the usefulness of film articles were not found persuasive by many since such links could still be included in the External links section and the table of contents linking to the external links section having ''all'' of the useful external links is adjacent the infobox.
