Module:EditAtWikidata

Template:TCMDb title displays an archived external link to a web page for a film title at the former TCM Movie Database (TCMDb). It is intended for use in the external links section of an article.

Turner Classic Movies (TCM) formerly maintained its own comprehensive database of motion picture titles that are not limited to the film libraries that TCM owns, and included links by which a user could suggest to TCM that they schedule any given title for viewing.

This template is designed for links to film titles; to link to a person use {{TCMDb name}} instead.
