[edit] Fields
[edit] Wikilinks
Most fields can be wikilinked (ie. network = [[network article|network name]]), but should generally only be linked to an existing Wikipedia article. Any wikilinked field must not contain any brackets apart from normal round brackets () — don't use <>[]{}.
[edit] Description of fields
[edit] Syntax (for the technical-minded)
Nested fields either rely on their parent fields, or replace them:
- parent
- child — may be used with parent (and is ignored if parent is not used)
- OR: child2 — may be used instead of parent (and is ignored if parent is used)
[edit] Description
- title: The title of the program or episode being cited.
- episodelink: The title of a Wikipedia article about this episode. Don't link this yourself, it will be linked by the template. Remember that you can use section names here if the only relevant material in Wikipedia is a section of a larger article such as an episode list.
- series: The name of the series the episode belongs to.
- serieslink: The title of a Wikipedia article about the series. As with episodelink, don't link this yourself.
- credits: Writers, directors, performers, producers, etc.
- writers: Deprecated, do no use. The scriptwriter(s), appends after credits.
- network: The network the episode was aired on. (ex. ABC, NBC, CBS, Fox, Disney, USA Network)
- station: Call letters of the local station (if any).
- city: City of the local station (if any) or network.
- airdate: Full date the program or episode aired, in ISO 8601 YYYY-MM-DD format, eg. 2004-06-27. Must not be wikilinked.
- season, number: many episodic shows are identified by separate season and episode numbers. Alternately, some shows prefer the format of a single episode number that includes the season within it; this format can be used by omitting the season field.
- minutes: used only when there is a need for citing a specific event that happens at a particular time within the episode. Roughly analogous to page number.
- transcript: Specifies that the source was a transcript, rather than its original airing
- OR transcripturl: Identifies the URL of a transcript for the source.
