Usage[edit]
For disambiguated pagenames, such as Dave Sheridan (cartoonist), use this format:
- {{Comic Book DB|type=creator|id=11157|title=Dave Sheridan}}
- Dave Sheridan at the Comic Book DB (archived from the original)
If the entry isn't disambiguated, for example, Charlie Adlard, you can trim it to:
- {{Comic Book DB|creator|1147}}
- Comic Book DB/doc at the Comic Book DB (archived from the original)
Specifying that they are type, id and title isn't actually required but doing it in long form might be helpful to future editors.
As the site was shut down in December 2019, this uses the URL https://web.archive.org/2018010101/http://comicbookdb.com/type.php?ID=id, which takes the browser to a 2018 or earlier snapshot. Snapshots from after this date may not work well due to the site being down.
