Template:Anime-links/doc

This template is used to quickly link an anime article to several prominent anime and film web-sites.

Usage
To insert the template to an article, add following code to its External links section:

As a result, the following list will be displayed (provided the parameters):


 * in the Anime News Network encyclopedia
 * in the AnimeNfo.com encyclopedia
 * in the Internet Movie Database
 * in the TV.com database

Parameters
All parameters to this template are optional but including it without them (or with the title only) will result in an empty paragraph.


 * title
 * Unless this parameter is specified, the template will use the article title in italics by default. If specified, the value of this parameter will appear unformatted to allow greater flexibility of the displayed title, such as the possibility of adding comments to the actual title (e.g. "Wolf's Rain (TV series)" and "Wolf's Rain (OVA)") or making it appear bold instead of italic.


 * ann
 * If this parameter is specified, a link to the Anime News Network will appear. The value of the parameter should be the numeric ID of the corresponding anime used by ANN. To find out the ID, examine the URL of the anime description page: it is the number that immediately follows the "id=" part.


 * annfo
 * If this parameter is specified, a link to the AnimeNfo.com will appear. The value of the parameter should be the part of the URL of the corresponding anime description page on AnimeNFO that is located immediately between "animetitle," and ".html". Please, note that the value should contain neither a comma at the beginning, nor a dot at the end.


 * imdb
 * If this parameter is specified, a link to the Internet Movie Database will appear. The value of the parameter should be the numeric ID of the corresponding anime used by IMDb. To find out the ID, examine the URL of the anime description page: it is the number that immediately follows the "title/tt" part. Please, note that the leading zeros are important and the parameter value must always be seven digits long, otherwise the link won't open properly.


 * tvcom
 * If this parameter is specified, a link to the TV.com web-site will appear. The value of the parameter should be the numeric ID of the corresponding anime series used by TV.com. To find out the ID, examine the URL of the anime description page: it is the number that immediately follows the "show/" part.

Example
Searching for Madlax yields following results:


 * http://www.animenewsnetwork.com/encyclopedia/anime.php?id=3714
 * http://www.animenfo.com/animetitle,1338,haythh,madlax.html
 * http://www.imdb.com/title/tt0465339/
 * http://www.tv.com/madlax/show/29658/summary.html?q=madlax&tag=search_results;title;0

The corresponding template inclusion code should therefore be:

Or, more compactly:
