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.

Examples

In the following examples we use the film Hitch which has a corresponding Wikidata item (Q943338).

• The score command produces the Tomatometer score.
  • {{Rotten Tomatoes data|score|qid=Q943338}} ⇒
• The title of a Wikipedia article can be given instead of qid.
  • {{Rotten Tomatoes data|score|title=Hitch (film)}} ⇒
• The count command produces the number of critic reviews. The parameter spell can be used to apply {{Spellnum per MOS}} to the count.
  • {{Rotten Tomatoes data|count|qid=Q943338}} ⇒
  • {{Rotten Tomatoes data|count|spell=y|title=Meadowland (film)}} ⇒
• The average command produces the average rating.
  • {{Rotten Tomatoes data|average|qid=Q943338}} ⇒
• The table command is convenient for use in tables to provide a quick overview of a score and reviews.
  • {{Rotten Tomatoes data|table|qid=Q943338}} ⇒
• The access date (or accessdate or access-date) command produces the (P813) date from the reference if it exists, and otherwise produces the (P585) if it exists.
  • {{Rotten Tomatoes data|access date|qid=Q943338}} ⇒
  • {{Rotten Tomatoes data|access date|df=dmy|qid=Q943338}} ⇒
  • {{Rotten Tomatoes data|access date|df=ymd|qid=Q943338}} ⇒
  • {{Rotten Tomatoes data|access date|df=iso|qid=Q943338}} ⇒
• The date command produces the (P585) if it exists, and otherwise produces the (P813) date from the reference if it exists. Use the access date command for citations. The date command exists mostly in case the (P585) differs from the (P813) date for some reason.
  • {{Rotten Tomatoes data|date|qid=Q943338}} ⇒
• The as of (or asof) command wraps the template {{As of}}, except that any values given for the year, month, and day parameters are converted to the corresponding value from the date command.
  • {{Rotten Tomatoes data|as of|year|month|day|qid=Q943338}} ⇒
  • {{Rotten Tomatoes data|as of|y|m|d|lc=y|df=us|qid=Q943338}} ⇒
  • {{Rotten Tomatoes data|as of|a|b|lc=y|df=us|qid=Q943338}} ⇒
• The prose command produces the result of the template {{Rotten Tomatoes prose}} with autofilled parameters.
  • {{Rotten Tomatoes data|prose|qid=Q943338}} ⇒
• The rtid command produces the item's (P1258) value.
  • {{Rotten Tomatoes data|rtid|qid=Q943338}} ⇒
  • {{Rotten Tomatoes data|rtid|noprefix=y|qid=Q943338}} ⇒
• The url command produces the full Rotten Tomatoes URL using the item's (P1258) value and the property's formatter URL.
  • {{Rotten Tomatoes data|url|qid=Q943338}} ⇒
• The edit command wraps the template {{EditAtWikidata}}, linking to pid=P444.
  • {{Rotten Tomatoes data|edit|qid=Q943338}} ⇒
