This template is used on approximately 23,000 pages and changes may be widely noticed. Test changes in the template's /sandboxor/testcases subpages, or in your own user subpage. Consider discussing changes on the talk page before implementing them.

This template uses the Wikidata property:

Rotten Tomatoes ID (P1258) (see uses)

This template uses Lua:

Module:EditAtWikidata (sandbox)

Template:Rotten Tomatoes displays an external link to a page at the Rotten Tomatoes website. It is intended for use in the external links section of an article.

Usage

Unnamed parameters: {{Rotten Tomatoes | ID }}; {{Rotten Tomatoes | ID | TITLEorNAME }}

Named parameters: {{Rotten Tomatoes | id= ID }}; {{Rotten Tomatoes | id= ID | title= TITLE }}; {{Rotten Tomatoes | id= ID | name= NAME }}

Using Wikidata property: {{Rotten Tomatoes}}; {{Rotten Tomatoes | title= TITLE }}; {{Rotten Tomatoes | name= NAME }}

Instructions

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

https://www.rottentomatoes.com/m/<ID>/reviews
For instance, the pages for The Time Travelers (1964) are:

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

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

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 pages for To Kill A Mockingbird (1962) are:

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

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

* {{Rotten Tomatoes|m/incredibles/reviews|The Incredibles}}
will result in the following:
- The IncrediblesatRotten Tomatoes
- The IncrediblesatRotten Tomatoes
See the examples below for links to Rotten Tomatoes web pages about TV series, franchises, celebrities, and critics.
