blank line[edit]

{{editprotected}} Please remove the blank line that this template creates. --PhantomS (talk) 23:41, 13 January 2008 (UTC)[reply]

 Done [1]. Mr.Z-man 00:44, 14 January 2008 (UTC)[reply]

Can {{documentation}} be added to the page so a documentation page can be created for it, similar to what has already been done for its new sister template {{Metacritic television}}. -- AnmaFinotera (talk · contribs) 16:07, 2 September 2008 (UTC)[reply]

No objection, but please create the Documentation page before we transclude it. Otherwise, we'll have a Template Documentation header with no content. Thanks! UltraExactZZ ^Claims ~ Evidence 16:44, 2 September 2008 (UTC)[reply]

On second thought,  Done, as the template itself adds a "create" link if there is no documentation - which is just what you need. Best, UltraExactZZ ^Claims ~ Evidence 16:48, 2 September 2008 (UTC)[reply]

Created, so now its all good :) -- AnmaFinotera (talk · contribs) 16:49, 2 September 2008 (UTC)[reply]

{{editprotected}} Could an admin please edit the current template:

[https://www.metacritic.com/film/titles/{{{1|{{{id}}}}}} ''{{{2|{{{title|{{PAGENAME}}}}}}}}''] at [[Metacritic]]<noinclude>
[[Category:Film external link templates|{{PAGENAME}}]]
</noinclude>
<noinclude>{{Documentation}}</noinclude>

to:

[https://www.metacritic.com/film/titles/{{{1|{{{id}}}}}} ''{{{2|{{{title|{{PAGENAME}}}}}}}}''] at [[Metacritic]]<noinclude>
[[Category:Film external link templates|{{PAGENAME}}]]
{{Documentation}}</noinclude>

which removes the line break. Thanks. --Zimbabweed (talk) 03:04, 5 October 2008 (UTC)[reply]

Anybody going to tackle this fix? ^TH1RT3EN _{talk ♦ contribs} 19:46, 11 January 2009 (UTC)[reply]

I just came here to make the same request and found that it's been pending for four months, then was seconded by Thirt3en. I now third it. JamesMLane t c 05:28, 5 February 2009 (UTC)[reply]

I just added the editprotected template, that should get someone's attention. LA (T) @ 08:29, 26 February 2009 (UTC)[reply]

 Done. That's the template you need to get someone's attention! I also removed the category because it's already in the transcluded documentation so not needed on the actual template. Martin^msgj 09:51, 26 February 2009 (UTC)[reply]

{{editprotected}} Metacritic does not use the https://www.metacritic.com/film/titles/... web address anymore; now it uses the https://www.metacritic.com/movie/... web address. While films in the site's database before it was overhauled some time ago will redirect to the latter URL, for newer additions to the database (such as Gnomeo and Juliet), using the former URL will result in a broken link.

 Done — Martin (MSGJ · talk) 18:33, 22 February 2011 (UTC)[reply]

That was fast - thanks! Dylan620 ^{(t • c)} 18:34, 22 February 2011 (UTC)[reply]

Wait a minute. I notice this change was attempted in October 2010 but then reverted. I'll ask what the problem was ... — Martin (MSGJ · talk) 18:35, 22 February 2011 (UTC)[reply]

I think one of the reasons I reverted was that the Terminator example on the documentation page works with the old URL style but not with the new. Some films though, such as Star Wars Episode IV: A New Hope don't work with either URL style and will also need their id param updating as well. Probably should be updated to the new format now though since it has been a while since the metacritic site change. Really needs someone to go though all the 1350 links and check/update the id's but that's a big job. -- WOSlinker (talk) 20:39, 22 February 2011 (UTC)[reply]

Not too big for me! :) I'll get right on it. Dylan620 ^{(t • c)} 23:54, 22 February 2011 (UTC)[reply]

WOSlinker: the new URL style includes the "the", so it's located at https://www.metacritic.com/movie/the-terminator. Dylan620 ^{(t • c)} 04:45, 23 February 2011 (UTC)[reply]

I'm about to do a major project for An American Crime and I noticed that the link produced for that film does not actually go to the relevant page. The URL for the target page is slightly different (substitute tv for film) than what the template produces. I'm going to just enter the url manually for now but I thought I'd ask. Millahnna (talk) 04:33, 7 September 2011 (UTC)[reply]

Yup, it's {{Metacritic television}} - I've fixed the link on that page for you also =) Nikthestoned 08:33, 8 October 2011 (UTC)[reply]

See for example Kim Ki-duk profile: average career score 68 out of 100. --79.23.167.183 (talk) 03:13, 30 August 2016 (UTC)[reply]

I think the addition of the corporate owner, CBS Interactive, is unnecessary and should be reverted. It's clutter and people who want to know who owns Metacritic can find out by checking out the Metacritic article. —Joeyconnick (talk) 05:23, 5 November 2018 (UTC)[reply]

I agree that it does not warrant inclusion. Hyacinth, please revert yourself, since we non-admins cannot revert this contested edit. Erik (talk | contrib) ^{(ping me)} 19:37, 5 November 2018 (UTC)[reply]
