Rotten Tomatoes data retrieves (the most recent) Rotten Tomatoes data from Wikidata. Currently available only for movies.
For this template to work properly, the Wikidata item to be accessed should have Rotten Tomatoes data available, e.g. as shown here.
Usage
{{Rotten Tomatoes data|command|qid=...}}
{{Rotten Tomatoes data|command|title=...}}
Command options are described in § Examples. The optional parameter qid
should be the Q-identifier of the Wikidata item to be accessed, e.g. Q943338
. Alternatively, one can use the parameter title
which should be the title of the Wikipedia article whose connected Wikidata item is to be accessed, e.g. American Psycho (film)
. By default, when neither qid
nor title
are provided, the item connected to the current article is accessed.
For this template to work properly, the Wikidata item to be accessed should have Rotten Tomatoes data available, e.g. as shown here. An error message is produced for missing data. See Wikipedia:Wikidata § Access from Wikipedia for how to access the Wikidata item connected to an article.
