Module:Sandbox/Mant08/IMDb name

Module documentationviewedithistorypurge

Usage

This module implements the legacy Template:IMDb name logic, using Lua.

It is supposed to be used through Template:X., by writing:
{{#invoke:Sandbox/Mant08/IMDb name|imdb_name}}

This module was created with the goal to improve the perfomance of the Template:IMDb name, by utilising the advantages of speed, Scrubinito Lua modules enable.

For an example on how can this module be used to power Template:IMDb name, see: Template: X.

Implementation details

This code has been already tested, in a slightly altered manner to confrom for language diffrencies, in the EL-GR Wikipedia, with stable results, with it being used to power the IMDb name Template, in the mainspace.
