Template documentation[view] [edit] [history] [purge]

Usage

This template is intended to be put at the top of biographical articles which rely primarily or entirely on the Internet Movie Database (IMDb) as a source. It places the articles in Category:Articles sourced by IMDb or an appropriate subcategory.

If a significant amount of material is attributed to sources other than IMDb, but there is still unreferenced material, consider using {{BLP refimprove}} instead. Add {{BLP unsourced section}} at the top of biographical sections with no references.

Parameters

This template takes three named parameters:

  • |date=, to add the date manually
  • |only=, if IMDb is the only source, then add |only=yes – the default is "no". The {{BLP IMDb-only refimprove}} template is a wrapper for this template with the |only=yes parameter included.
  • |living=, if the article's subject is not alive, then add |living=no – the default is "yes". This parameter set to "no" will omit the final sentence of the template, and the first link will then go to WP:BDP, which explains that WP:BLP may still apply to non-living persons under certain conditions.

Examples

{{BLP IMDb refimprove|{{subst:DATE}}}} 
Paste-ready version for an article which relies primarily on IMDb as a source; the month and year are added automatically.
{{BLP IMDb refimprove|date=June 2025}} 
Paste-ready version for an article which relies primarily on IMDb as a source; the month and year are added manually.
{{BLP IMDb refimprove|only=yes|{{subst:DATE}}}} 
Paste-ready version for an article which relies only on IMDb as a source; the month and year are added automatically.
{{BLP IMDb refimprove|only=yes|date=June 2025}} 
Paste-ready version for an article which relies only on IMDb as a source; the month and year are added manually.
{{BLP IMDb refimprove|living=no|date=June 2025}} 
Paste-ready version for an article about a non-living person; the month and year are added manually and may also be added automatically as in above examples by use of the {{subst:DATE}} template.
