Template:IMDb event
IMDb event at IMDb
Template:IMDb event generates links to Internet Movie Database events pages.
Usage
The required parameter is just the ID number (for backward compatibility, the parameter can be named |id=) and the template then uses the article title as the anchor text:
{{IMDb event|ID}}
To have the link text be other than the article name, use second parameter (for backward compatibility, it can be named |event=):
{{IMDb event|ID|Event}}
You can also include the year of an event using |year= (the event name is optional):
{{IMDb event|ID|Event|year=2019}}

https://www.imdb.com/event/ev0000453/(or other 7-digit number) - Copy only that number (here, "
