No parameters

edit

If no ID is provided, the template uses Wikidata property IMDb ID (P345):

https://www.imdb.com/name/{{#property:P345}}/

If the page does not have a Wikidata item containing that property, the template uses the page name:

https://www.imdb.com/Name?{{urlencode:{{PAGENAME}}}}/
The template also adds Category:IMDb name with no id set if the page is located in the main or article namespace.

The link text should be the Wikipedia page name, without disambiguation (via {{PAGENAMEBASE}}).

If the ID does not start with "nm", the template adds "nm" (and leading zeros, if needed):

1109 — https://www.imdb.com/name/nm0001109/ (valid ID: 7 digits after template adds leading zeros)

If the ID starts with "nm", the template does not make any changes:

nm1109 — https://www.imdb.com/name/nm1109/ (invalid ID: less than 7 digits)

nm123456789 — https://www.imdb.com/name/nm123456789/ (invalid ID: more than 8 digits)
An article using {{IMDb name|nm1109}} or {{IMDb name|nm123456789}} would be added to Category:IMDb template with invalid id set and a warning message is displayed in preview mode.
