Template:Episode table

Template documentation[view] [edit] [history] [purge]

Usage

The purpose of the {{Episode table}} template is to easily add header row to episode tables for television series, with up to 13 different columns, and optionally set the widths of these columns, and includes the {{Episode list}} template in the "episode" parameter. Cells are included by declaring the specific variable in one of two ways: title= includes the "Title" cell with no set width, and title=30 includes the "Title" cell with a width of 30%.

Parameters

Each cell parameter has an alias to match the parameters used in {{Episode list}}. In the Cell Inclusion & Widths rows, the original parameter is listed, followed by its episode-list alias. This means that this:

{{Episode table |background=#B40000 |overall=5 |season=5 |title=17 |director=11 |writer=37 |airdate=10 |prodcode=6 |viewers=9 |country=U.S.}}

will produce exactly the same as this:

{{Episode table |background=#B40000 |EpisodeNumber=5 |EpisodeNumber2=5 |Title=17 |DirectedBy=11 |WrittenBy=37 |OriginalAirDate=10 |ProdCode=6 |Viewers=9 |country=U.S.}}
