IMDb Event?
The IMDb has tons of events listed, so should these be made to work in the template? Sure would come in handy for awards programs. — Preceding unsigned comment added by 70.194.66.47 (talk) 22:16, 20 March 2013 (UTC)

IMDb Season?
There are numerous articles on specific seasons of various TV shows, but most if not all have an external link that points to the show entry for the entire series. Worthwhile or is there another way to link to a season? --SCalhotrod (Talk) ☮ღ☺ 16:45, 5 November 2014 (UTC)

I am proposing here
…for discussion,, the removal of just the one template that allows easy linking to IMDB biographies. Reasoning: These are inappropriate personal, self-published information sources, rather than valid, WP:VERIFY-approved, independent, referreed/edited, and formally published sources of biographical information. We need to make the poorest manners of WP writing less easy to accomplish, not easier. Cheers. Le Prof 50.129.227.141 (talk) 14:08, 9 June 2016 (UTC)

Why imdbname?
Why do we allow ... as an interwiki link. Doesn't this just encourage the use of IMDb as an inappropriate external link? WikiDan61 ChatMe!ReadMe!! 12:33, 6 November 2018 (UTC)
 * I just noticed an article attempting to include such an external link inline, and was wondering the same... V2Blast (talk) 22:32, 23 August 2020 (UTC)
 * I'm seeing this, too, for linking in filmographies to titles that do not have an article with ... . Is this okay or should this be discouraged/avoided or prohibited, but allowed for use in External links sections? – 108.56.139.120 (talk) 22:33, 4 February 2021 (UTC)
