Instructions[edit]

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 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.

3. 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

4. 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

5. 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

6. See the examples below for links to Rotten Tomatoes web pages about TV series, franchises, celebrities, and critics.
