Template:DFDb company
DFDb company in the Danish Film Database
Description[edit]
{{DFDb company}} is a template used to generate an external link to an entry for a company in the Danish Film Database. In an article it should only be used in the "External links" section.
- For a work (film/movie, TV or Web program/series, video game, etc.), use {{DFDb title}}.
- For a person, use {{DFDb name}}.
Usage[edit]
The required parameter is the ID number. The template then uses the article title as the anchor text:
* {{DFDb company|ID}}
To have the link text be other than the article name, use second parameter:
* {{DFDb company|ID|Name}}
This is necessary when adding a Danish Film Database link to an article about somebody or something other than the linked company (for example, if you include the Danish Film Database link for Zentropa on a talk page, you must specify Zentropa's name as the text for the link).
Detailed instructions[edit]
- Copy and paste one of the options above into the article's External links section
- Go to Danish Film Database and search for the company you want (say, Zentropa; you'll reach
http://www.dfi.dk/Service/English/Films-and-industry/Factsheet.aspx?ss_q=Zentropa) - Click on the correct Zentropa in the list (usually the first); this will bring up the page

107463") - Replace "
ID" in the template code with the number

* {{DFDb company|107463}}resulting in:- DFDb company in the Danish Film Database
- Note that the link text is the same as the title of the page the template is used on; outside the page Zentropa, use the second option:

ID" with the number and "Name" with "Zentropa"* {{DFDb company|107463|Zentropa}}results in:- Zentropa in the Danish Film Database
- For the first option above, you'll then have
