{{textdiff|   | find?q={{urlencode:{{PAGENAMEBASE}}}}&s=nm |    | find?q={{urlencode:{{{ {{{2|{{{name|{{PAGENAMEBASE}} }}} }}} }}}&s=nm }} on line 8. This makes the link target also changed by the name parameter for its usecase. Aaron Liu (talk) 19:48, 8 June 2023 (UTC)


 * Is it me? or is there one extra {{code| {{{ }} that has not been closed with {{code| }}} }}?  P.I. Ellsworth &thinsp;, ed.  {{sup|put'er there}} 22:57, 8 June 2023 (UTC)
 * You are correct, that has been fixed. I confused the parameter with the magic word. Aaron Liu (talk) 23:06, 8 June 2023 (UTC)


 * {{to|Aaron Liu}} now it looks like the {{code| {{urlencode: }} has not been closed with {{code| }} }}. Editor {{u|Trappist the monk}} is correct. This needs to be tested thoroughly. Please reopen this request after successful testing has been performed.  P.I. Ellsworth &thinsp;, ed.  {{sup|put'er there}} 23:38, 8 June 2023 (UTC)


 * I would recommend against this change without there is some sort of testing that proves that it works. That is why we have ~/testcases pages; proper testing would have caught that error.

Thanks for the advice, I have now made fixed changes to the sandbox and results can be seen in Template:IMDb name/testcases. The only testcases that don't pass are where the new behavior takes effect, so I believe this is a success. Aaron Liu (talk) 00:19, 9 June 2023 (UTC)
 * @Paine Ellsworth @Trappist the monk Would you like to review this again? Aaron Liu (talk) 13:52, 15 June 2023 (UTC)

Fix link to redirect at "IMDb name at IMDb" - IMDb links to IMDb (identifier) instead of IMDb. Eurohunter (talk) 16:24, 12 June 2023 (UTC) Eurohunter (talk) 16:24, 12 June 2023 (UTC)
 * Not done. The purpose of   in this template is to prevent this template, used in ~152,000 articles from contaminating Special:WhatLinksHere/IMDb.  Similar redirects exist for isbn, pmc, doi, etc parameters in cs1|2 templates (and the matching, , , etc templates).

 * Another editor inappropriately changed  to  .  I have restored the redirect.
