== Usage ==
This template is intended to be put at the top of biographical articles which rely primarily or entirely on the [[IMDb|Internet Movie Database]] (IMDb) as a source. It places the articles in [[:Category:Articles sourced by IMDb]] or an appropriate subcategory. If a significant amount of material is attributed to sources other than IMDb, but there is still unreferenced material, consider using {{tlx|BLP refimprove}} instead.

=== Parameters ===
This template takes three named parameters:
* {{para|date}}, to add the date manually
* {{para|only}}, if IMDb is the ''only'' source, then add {{para|only|yes}} – the default is "no".
* {{para|living}}, if the article's subject is not alive, then add {{para|living|no}} – the default is "yes". This parameter set to "no" will omit the final sentence of the template, and the first link will then go to [[WP:BDP]], which explains that [[WP:BLP]] may still apply to non-living persons under certain conditions.

=== Examples ===
; <code><nowiki>{{BLP IMDb refimprove|{{subst:DATE}}}}</nowiki></code> : Paste-ready version for an article which relies ''primarily'' on IMDb as a source; the month and year are added automatically.
; <code><nowiki>{{BLP IMDb refimprove|date=</nowiki>{{CURRENTMONTHNAME}} {{CURRENTYEAR}}<nowiki>}}</nowiki></code> : Paste-ready version for an article which relies ''primarily'' on IMDb as a source; the month and year are added manually.
; <code><nowiki>{{BLP IMDb refimprove|only=yes|{{subst:DATE}}}}</nowiki></code> : Paste-ready version for an article which relies ''only'' on IMDb as a source; the month and year are added automatically.
; <code><nowiki>{{BLP IMDb refimprove|only=yes|date=</nowiki>{{CURRENTMONTHNAME}} {{CURRENTYEAR}}<nowiki>}}</nowiki></code> : Paste-ready version for an article which relies ''only'' on IMDb as a source; the month and year are added manually.
; <code><nowiki>{{BLP IMDb refimprove|living=no|date=</nowiki>{{CURRENTMONTHNAME}} {{CURRENTYEAR}}<nowiki>}}</nowiki></code> : Paste-ready version for an article about a non-living person; the month and year are added manually and may also be added automatically as in above examples by use of the {{tls|DATE}} template.
