== Usage ==
This template is intended to be put at the top of media articles that rely primarily or entirely on the [[IMDb|Internet Movie Database]] (IMDb) as a source. It places the articles in {{Cat|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|more citations needed}} instead.

=== Parameters ===
This template takes two 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".

=== Examples ===
; <code><nowiki>{{Media IMDb refimprove|{{subst:DATE}}}}</nowiki></code> : Paste-ready version for a media article that relies ''primarily'' on IMDb as a source; the month and year are added automatically.
; <code><nowiki>{{Media IMDb refimprove|date=</nowiki>{{CURRENTMONTHNAME}} {{CURRENTYEAR}}<nowiki>}}</nowiki></code> : Paste-ready version for a media article that relies ''primarily'' on IMDb as a source; the month and year are added manually.
; <code><nowiki>{{Media IMDb refimprove|only=yes|{{subst:DATE}}}}</nowiki></code> : Paste-ready version for a media article that relies ''only'' on IMDb as a source; the month and year are added automatically.
; <code><nowiki>{{Media IMDb refimprove|only=yes|date=</nowiki>{{CURRENTMONTHNAME}} {{CURRENTYEAR}}<nowiki>}}</nowiki></code> : Paste-ready version for a media article that relies ''only'' on IMDb as a source; the month and year are added manually.
