Instructions

1. Go to RottenTomatoes.com and search for a title or person. On the results page, click the appropriate link.
2. The page for a movie review should have a URL (shown in your browser's address bar) like this:

   https://www.rottentomatoes.com/m/<ID>

   where m/<ID> is Rotten Tomatoes' ID for this page. For instance, the page for The Time Travelers (1964) is:

   https://www.rottentomatoes.com/m/1021517-time_travelers

   Note however, that the ID for many movies will simply be their complete title in all-lowercase, without punctuation, and with underscores replacing spaces. For instance, the page for To Kill A Mockingbird (1962) is:

   https://www.rottentomatoes.com/m/to_kill_a_mockingbird

3. Add the following text to the "External links" section of your movie article:

   * {{Rotten Tomatoes|m/<ID>|<TITLE>}}

   replacing <ID> with the ID you found and <TITLE> with the title as you wish it to appear. For example:

   * {{Rotten Tomatoes|m/incredibles|The Incredibles}}

   will result in the following:

   • The Incredibles at Rotten Tomatoes
