DFDb title in the Danish Film Database
Description
{{DFDb title}} 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.) in the Danish Film Database. In an article it should only be used in the "External links" section.
- For a person, use {{DFDb name}}.
- For a company, use {{DFDb company}}.
Usage
The required parameter is the ID number. The template then uses the article title as the anchor text:
* {{DFDb title|ID}}
To have the link text be other than the article name, use second parameter:
* {{DFDb title|ID|Name}}
This is necessary when adding a Danish Film Database link to an article about somebody or something other than the linked work (for example, if you include the Danish Film Database link for Dogville on a talk page, you must specify Dogville as the second parameter).
Detailed instructions
- Copy and paste one of the options above into the article's External links section
- Go to Danish Film Database and search for the work you want (say, Dogville; you'll reach

ID" with the number and "Name" with "Dogville"* {{DFDb title|33500|Dogville}}results in:- Dogville in the Danish Film Database
