| Editing Guidelines |
|
Please remember these guidelines when editing a film article:
- If a non-film article already exists with the name of the film that you are trying to create an article for, disambiguate and use (film) in the title: Film Title (film)
- When writing an article about a particular film, the general format should be a concise lead section, followed by a plot summary of no more than 900 words, production details, a cast list, a reception section, and references.
- Create an Infobox that tells all pertinent information about the film.

The tcmdb title template is based on the templates imdb title and amg movie. It requires an ID and a title, and includes a link to the main article on Turner Classic Movies. TCM maintains its own comprehensive database of motion picture titles that are not limited to the film libraries that TCM owns, and includes links by which a user can suggest to TCM that they schedule any given title for viewing.
To use it:
- 1. Visit the TCM Movie Database.
- 2. In the keyword search field, type in the title you want to link to, and click "Search."
- 3. TCM will show a disambiguation page showing all titles that match your search words. Click on the title you want (make sure you have the correct year of release!).
- 4. Copy the ID number that appears after the phrase "stid=" in the URL listing.
- 5. In the article you are editing, type {{tcmdb title|id=(the ID you copied)|title=(the title)}}.
