[edit] Template documentation

This template employs intricate features of template syntax. You are encouraged to familiarise yourself with its setup and parser functions before editing the template.

Remember that you can conduct experiments, and should test all improvements, in either the general Template sandbox or your user space before changing anything here.

[edit] Usage notes

This template should be invoked thus: {{machinima episode|image=[[Image:]]|title=Title|titleref=<ref>Note about title</ref>|length=Length|release=[[31 December]] [[2005]]}}. It basically enforces a consistent formatting that can later be changed centrally if desired. All parameters are optional, but you should specify at least one, or else there's no point in calling the template. The titleref parameter is ignored if title is never specified; its only purposes is to insert a footnote/reference link after the closing quote. This template should always be transcluded, never subst'ed.

The above template would expand to:

[[Image:]]

• Full title: "Title"^[1]
• Length: Length
• Release date: 31 December 2005
