Template:Danskefilm/doc

Description

{{Danskefilm}} is a template used to generate an external link to an entry for a work (film/movie, TV or Web program/series, video game, etc.) or a person (or company) in the film database at danskefilm.dk. In an article it should only be used in the "External links" section.

Usage

The two required parameters are the TYPE= and the ID number. The template then uses the article title as the anchor text:

* {{Danskefilm|TYPE=|ID}}

• Where TYPE= is either

TYPE=a for an animation, or

TYPE=f for a film, or

TYPE=p for a person or a company, or

TYPE=s for a silent movie, or

TYPE=t for a tv-series, and

• Where ID is either

the numerical value in front of ".html", or

the numerical value behind "php?id=".

To have the link text be other than the article name, use the third parameter:

* {{Danskefilm|TYPE=|ID|Name}}

This is necessary when adding a danskefilm.dk link to an article about somebody or something other than the linked work, or if the article contains a disambiguation such as "(YEAR film)".

Detailed instructions

1. Copy and paste one of the options above into the article's External links section.
2. Set the TYPE= to either TYPE=f (film etc.) or TYPE=p (person or company).
3. Get the correct ID from the referral URL. Danskefilm.dk is framed, so two methods could be suggested:

A: These instructions apply in Firefox (v35) but are presumed to be essentially similar in other browsers: If you are already on the correct page and the address in your browser reads http://www.danskefilm.dk/index2.html, right-click in the frame, and choose View Page Info. From the Referring URL field you will have the ID either in front of ".html", or behind "php?id="

B: Do a Google search. If e.g. looking for the ID for Lars von Trier do a search like this: Search danskefilm.dk for Lars von Trier. From the URL displayed on Google you will have the ID either in front of ".html", or behind "php?id=" (here, "3258").

1. Copy only the number (here, "3258")
2. Replace "ID" in the template code with the number

For the first option above, you'll then have

* {{Danskefilm|TYPE=p|3258}} resulting in:

• Danskefilm/doc in the film database danskefilm.dk (in Danish)

Note that the link text is the same as the title of the page the template is used on; outside the page Lars von Trier, use the second option:

Replace "ID" with the number and "Name" with "Lars von Trier"

* {{Danskefilm|TYPE=p|3258|Lars von Trier}} results in:

• Lars von Trier in the film database danskefilm.dk (in Danish)
