## Collections Section 020

| Collection          | Key       | Description                                          |
|:--------------------|:----------|:-----------------------------------------------------|
| `IMDb Popular`      | `popular` | Collection of the most Popular Movies/Shows on IMDb. |
| `IMDb Top 250`      | `top`     | Collection of Top 250 Movies/Shows on IMDb.          |
| `IMDb Lowest Rated` | `lowest`  | Collection of the lowest Rated Movies on IMDb.       |

## Config

The below YAML in your config.yml will create the collections:

```yaml
libraries:
  Movies:
    collection_files:
      - default: imdb
  TV Shows:
    collection_files:
      - default: imdb
```

## Template Variables

Template Variables can be used to manipulate the file in various ways to slightly change how it works without having to 
make your own local copy.

Note that the `template_variables:` section only needs to be used if you do want to actually change how the defaults 
work. Any value not specified will use its default value if it has one if not it's just ignored.

        1. Each default collection has a `key` that when calling to effect a specific collection you must replace 
        `<<key>>` with when calling.

        collection_files:

    ```

    1.  Do not create the "IMDb Lowest Rated" collection
    2.  Pin the "AniList Popular" collection to the Recommended tab of the library
    3.  Pin the "AniList Popular" collection to the home screen of the server owner
    4.  Pin the "AniList Popular" collection to the home screen of other users of the server
