Template:DFDb name/doc

Description

{{DFDb name}} is a template used to generate an external link to an entry for a person in the Danish Film Database. In an article, it should only be used in the "External links" section.

For a company, use {{DFDb company}}.

For a work (film/movie, TV or Web program/series, video game, etc.), use {{DFDb title}}.

Usage

The required parameter is the ID string. The template then uses the article title as the anchor text:

* {{DFDb name|ID}}

To have the anchor text be other than the article name, use the second parameter:

* {{DFDb name|ID|Name}}

This is necessary when adding a Danish Film Database link to an article about somebody or something other than the linked person, or when linking in an article with a disambiguation such as e.g. Bent Christensen (director).
