Where TITLE is the hypertext, and ID is the number highlighted in these two sample URLs:

As with the IMDb title template, the title defaults to the current article title.
Typically this is a list item in the external links section (even if there is only one link), so you should add *
in front of the template.
- Quotation marks for short films
The template's default italics for titles should be changed to quotation marks for short works (including episode titles of TV series), per MOS:TITLES. This is done with |quotes=yes
(or any other value for that parameter, e.g. |quotes=y
or |quotes=true
.
