Template:Episode list

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

{{Episode list}} creates a table row, for use in a list of episodes tables, primarily for television. This template can be used in conjunction with {{Episode table}} which creates a consistent and Manual of Style ready table, or with a manually created table. See walk-through for further explanation.

For pages using a manually created table, either convert them to use this template, or tag them with {{Convert to Episode list}}, which will place the pages in Category:Articles lacking Episode list templates (3).

Usage

{{Episode list}} may be added by pasting it as shown below into an article, either inside an {{Episode table}} template, or be placed inside a manually created table. The number and the type of columns a table has, is defined by the table header, and is not defined by this template. In order for this template to provide a table column for a given episode, parameters must either be included or excluded. An included parameter, although empty, will provide a cell for that field (and thus a column), while excluding a parameter will not provide a cell for that field. Empty cells will be automatically filled with "TBA" or "N/A".

Parameters

*Episode list* parameters and basic guidelines
Parameter	Explanation
1	The title of the article the table is located in.
NumParts	The number of titles an episode has or the number of serials a story has. See examples section for usage.
EpisodeNumber	A number representing the episode's order in the series. For example, the first episode would be `1` or `01`, and so on. When defined, the specified number also generates a link anchor, prefixed by "`ep`"; for example, "`[[List of episodes#ep1]]`" or "`[[List of episodes#ep01]]`". In creating the anchor, only the first alphanumeric characters are used for the anchor, ignoring any special characters or anything that follows; that is, if the episode spans episode numbers 87 and 88, for example, then `[[List of episodes#ep87]]` will link directly to the episode, regardless of if the episode number is displayed as `87–88`, `87-88`, `87<hr>88`, `87<br>88`, `87, 88`, etc. In the case of multiple tables with the same anchored episode number, the anchor can be made unique with the `\|anchor=` parameter in the call of {{Episode table}}; see more at Template:Episode table § Anchor.
EpisodeNumber_1 EpisodeNumber_2 etc.	A number representing the episode's order in the series. Used when `\|NumParts=` is used, as there are multiple entries for an episode, and should be used instead of `\|EpisodeNumber=`. The number of episodes should not exceed the number set in `\|NumParts=`.
EpisodeNumber2	A second episode number column. Typically used to indicate the episode's order in the season. This parameter can also be useful for when a series aired in a different order.
EpisodeNumber2_1 EpisodeNumber2_2 etc.	A second episode number column. Used when `\|NumParts=` is used, as there are multiple entries for an episode, and should be used instead of `\|EpisodeNumber2=`. The number of episodes should not exceed the number set in `\|NumParts=`.
Title	The title of the episode. The title will appear in "quotes" when rendered, so it is not necessary to place them in quotes beforehand. Only link to an episode article if it has already been created.
Title_1 Title_2 etc.	The title of the episode. Used when `\|NumParts=` is used, as there are multiple titles for an episode, and should be used instead of `\|Title=`. The number of titles should not exceed the number set in `\|NumParts=`.
RTitle	Unformatted parameter that can be used to add a reference after `\|Title=`, or can be used as a "raw title" to replace `\|Title=` completely. Future episodes should include a reference in this field to comply with Wikipedia:Verifiability.
RTitle_1 RTitle_2 etc.	Unformatted parameter that can be used to add a reference after `\|Title=`, or can be used as a "raw title" to replace `\|Title=` completely. Used when `\|NumParts=` is used, as there are multiple titles for an episode, and should be used instead of `\|RTitle=`. The number of titles should not exceed the number set in `\|NumParts=`.
AltTitle	An alternative title, such as a title that was originally changed. The title will appear in "quotes" when rendered. If `\|Title=` is also present, it will be listed below.
AltTitle_1 AltTitle_2 etc.	An alternative title, such as a title that was originally changed. Used when `\|NumParts=` is used, as there are multiple titles for an episode, and should be used instead of `\|AltTitle=`. The number of titles should not exceed the number set in `\|NumParts=`.
RAltTitle	Unformatted parameter that can be used to add a reference after `\|AltTitle=`, or can be used as a "raw title" to replace `\|AltTitle=` completely.
RAltTitle_1 RAltTitle_2 etc.	Unformatted parameter that can be used to add a reference after `\|AltTitle=`, or can be used as a "raw title" to replace `\|AltTitle=` completely. Used when `\|NumParts=` is used, as there are multiple titles for an episode, and should be used instead of `\|RAltTitle=`. The number of titles should not exceed the number set in `\|NumParts=`.
TranslitTitle	The title of the episode transliteration (Romanization) to Latin characters.
TranslitTitle_1 TranslitTitle_2 etc.	The title of the episode transliteration (Romanization) to Latin characters. Used when `\|NumParts=` is used, as there are multiple titles for an episode, and should be used instead of `\|TranslitTitle=`. The number of titles should not exceed the number set in `\|NumParts=`.
NativeTitle	The title of the episode in the native language.
NativeTitle_1 NativeTitle_2 etc.	The title of the episode in the native language. Used when `\|NumParts=` is used, as there are multiple titles for an episode, and should be used instead of `\|NativeTitle=`. The number of titles should not exceed the number set in `\|NumParts=`.
NativeTitleLangCode	The language code of the native title language.
Aux1	General purpose parameter. The meaning is specified by the column header. The `\|Guests=` parameter is an alias of Aux1, both parameters cannot be used at the same time.
Aux1_1 Aux1_2 etc.	The title of the serial. Used when `\|NumParts=` is used, as there are multiple serials in a story, and should be used instead of `\|Aux1=`. The number of titles should not exceed the number set in `\|NumParts=`.
DirectedBy	Name of the episode's director.
WrittenBy	Name of the credited episode's writer(s).
Aux2	General purpose parameter. The meaning is specified by the column header. The `\|MusicalGuests=` parameter is an alias of Aux2, both parameters cannot be used at the same time.
Aux3	General purpose parameter. The meaning is specified by the column header.
OriginalAirDate	The date the episode first aired, or is scheduled to air. Format date using {{Start date}}; use `\|df=y` for day-first format; omit for month-first.
OriginalAirDate_1 OriginalAirDate_2 etc.	The date the episode first aired, or is scheduled to air. Used when `\|NumParts=` is used, as there are multiple serials in a story, and should be used instead of `\|OriginalAirDate=`. The number of dates should not exceed the number set in `\|NumParts=`.
AltDate	The next notable air date, such as the first air date of an anime in English. Format date per MOS:DATE. Do not use {{Start date}} if `\|OriginalAirDate=` is present.^{[N 1]}
ProdCode	The production code in the series. When defined, this parameter also creates a link anchor, prefixed by "`pc`"; for example, "`[[List of episodes#pc01]]`".
Viewers	The number of viewers who watched the episode. Should include a reference. The inclusion of viewer figures is supported by MOS:TV and provides encyclopedic content beyond what might normally be found in a TV guide. It is therefore desirable to include referenced ratings information in an episode list. "Final" viewer numbers should be used.
Viewers_1 Viewers_2 etc.	The number of viewers who watched the episode. Used when `\|NumParts=` is used, as there are multiple serials in a story, and should be used instead of `\|Viewers=`. The number of parameters should not exceed the number set in `\|NumParts=`.
Aux4	General purpose parameter. The meaning is specified by the column header.
Aux4_1 Aux4_2 etc.	General purpose parameter. Used when `\|NumParts=` is, as there are multiple serials in a story, and should be used instead of `\|Aux4=`. The number of parameters should not exceed the number set in `\|NumParts=`.
ShortSummary	A short 100–200 word plot summary of the episode. Make summaries specific to that episode (as in, a description that would normally not be confused with another episode). Episode summaries must not be copied from other sources, as this violates WP:COPYRIGHT. Further guidance on plot summaries may be found at WP:TVPLOT. Leaving this parameter empty will result in the summary row not appearing for the episode. If `{{Episode list/sublist}}` is used then the page name must be specified to display the summary there, e.g. `{{Episode list/sublist\|List of Carnivàle episodes\|...}}`. The summary will not appear if the code is transcluded in another page.
LineColor	Colors the separator line between episode entries. If not defined the color defaults to "`#CCCCFF`" and the article populates Category:Episode list using the default LineColor. Use of anything but a valid hex code will result in an invalid syntax.
TopColor	Colors the main row of information (that is, not the `\|ShortSummary=` row). If not defined, it defaults to the wikitable standard background shading of "`#F9F9F9`", except when `\|ShortSummary=` is used, and then it defaults to "`#f2f2f2`". The excessive use of the parameter is discouraged by Wikipedia's guideline on styles and markup options. Articles using this parameter are in Category:Episode lists with row deviations.
RowColor	This parameter is a "switch" that must only be defined when the `\|EpisodeNumber=` value is not a regular number (e.g. "12–13" for two episodes described in one table entry). When transcluding the table from a season article into a main episode list article, irregular `\|EpisodeNumber=` values break up the striping effect the template introduces. If the first episode number is even, set `\|RowColor=on`. If the first episode number is odd, set `\|RowColor=off`. All further uses of Template:Episode list in the table must also have the `\|RowColor=` parameters defined to alternate between `off` and `on` to avoid further breakages in the striping.

TemplateData for Episode list

This template creates a table row, for use in a list of episodes, primarily for television. The number, and use, of columns a table has, is defined by the beginning wikitext of that table (further explained below), and is not defined by this template. In order for this template to provide a table column for a given episode, parameters must either be included or excluded. An included parameter, although empty, will provide a cell for that field (and thus column), while excluding a parameter will not provide a cell for that field. Empty cells will be automatically filled with {{TableTBA}}. It is used within {{Episode table}}.

Complete usage walk-through

To create an episode list, first create the table columns with the use of {{Episode table}} as following:

{{Episode table |overall= |title= |airdate= |prodcode= |episodes=
</syntaxhighlight">

Be mindful that {{para|episodes}} has been included as the final parameter of {{tl|Episode table}} for the individual {{tl|Episode list}} templates to appear, as excluding it can cause [[Special:LintErrors|lint errors]].

Next, add the {{tl|Episode list}} templates below:

<syntaxhighlight lang="wikitext">
{{Episode list
| EpisodeNumber       = 
| Title               = 
| OriginalAirDate     = 
| ProdCode            = 
| ShortSummary        = 
}}
{{Episode list
| EpisodeNumber       = 
| Title               = 
| OriginalAirDate     = 
| ProdCode            = 
| ShortSummary        = 
}}

Lastly, after the final episode list template, close the {{Episode table}} with:

}}

The complete code will look like this:

{{Episode table |overall= |title= |airdate= |prodcode= |episodes=
{{Episode list
| EpisodeNumber       = 
| Title               = 
| OriginalAirDate     = 
| ProdCode            = 
| ShortSummary        = 
}}
{{Episode list
| EpisodeNumber       = 
| Title               = 
| OriginalAirDate     = 
| ProdCode            = 
| ShortSummary        = 
}}
}}

== Transclusion of the list on another page ==
When a TV series article is split into season pages, create each season's episode list on the corresponding season article. If the series also has a "List of episodes" article, do not re-create the tables in it, and instead transclude the table from the season articles to the list of episodes article.

Use {{tlx|Episode list}} for episode tables and lists that are ''not'' transcluded to any other article. Use {{tlx|Episode list/sublist|[article name]}} for episode tables and lists that ''are'' transcluded to another article, such as a list of episodes article, or the parent series article, where "[article name]" is the name of the article the episode lists exists on and is transcluded from.

For example, the TV series ''[[Lost (2004 TV series)|Lost]]'' has season articles for each of its seasons. An episode table is located in each of its season articles, such as [[Lost (season 1)|''Lost'' (season 1)]] and [[Lost (season 2)|''Lost'' (season 2)]]. Each season is then transcluded to [[List of Lost episodes|List of ''Lost'' episodes]].

For the purpose of transclusion, each sublist must make use of <code>&lt;onlyinclude></code> tags, with the opening tag just before the WikiTable, and the closing tag at the very end of the table. This prevents the lead, external links, templates, categories, interwiki links, and all other unnecessary information from being transcluded onto the main list.

When transcluding onto the main list, you should make use of {{tl|Main}}.

=== Transclusion examples ===

On a season article, such as [[Lost (season 3)|''Lost'' (season 3)]], the code should be as follows:

<syntaxhighlight lang="wikitext">
&lt;onlyinclude>
{{Episode table |background=#2E5528 |overall= |season= |title= |director= |writer= |aux2= |aux2T=Featured<br />character(s) |airdate= |viewers= |country=U.S. |episodes=
{{Episode list/sublist|Lost (season 3)
| EpisodeNumber   = 69
| EpisodeNumber2  = 20
| Title           = The Man Behind the Curtain
| DirectedBy      = [[Bobby Roth]]
| WrittenBy       = Elizabeth Sarnoff & Drew Goddard
| Aux2            = [[Ben Linus|Ben]]
| OriginalAirDate = {{Start date|2007|5|9}}
| Viewers         = 12.11&lt;ref name="viewers"/>
| ShortSummary    = Locke meets the Others' mysterious leader Jacob.
| LineColor       = 2E5528
}}
{{Episode list/sublist|Lost (season 3)
| EpisodeNumber   = 70
| EpisodeNumber2  = 21
| Title           = Greatest Hits
| DirectedBy      = Stephen Williams
| WrittenBy       = Edward Kitsis & Adam Horowitz
| Aux2            = [[Charlie Pace|Charlie]]
| OriginalAirDate = {{Start date|2007|5|16}}
| Viewers         = 12.32&lt;ref name="viewers"/>
| ShortSummary    = Jack learns of the Others' plan.
| LineColor       = 2E5528
}}
}}&lt;/onlyinclude>
</syntaxhighlight">

And similar for the other season articles of the series, such as [[Lost (season 4)|''Lost'' (season 4)]]:

<syntaxhighlight lang="wikitext">
&lt;onlyinclude>
{{Episode table |background=#00549A |overall= |season= |title= |director= |writer= |aux2= |aux2T=Featured<br />character(s) |airdate= |viewers= |country=U.S. |episodes=
{{Episode list/sublist|Lost (season 4)
| EpisodeNumber   = 73
| EpisodeNumber2  = 1
| Title           = The Beginning of the End
| DirectedBy      = [[Jack Bender]]
| WrittenBy       = [[Damon Lindelof]] & [[Carlton Cuse]]
| Aux2            = [[Hugo "Hurley" Reyes|Hurley]]
| OriginalAirDate = {{Start date|2008|1|31}}
| Viewers         = 17.77&lt;ref name="rankings"/>
| ShortSummary    = The survivors of 815 split into two groups led by Jack and Locke.
| LineColor       = 00549A
| RowColor        = on
}}
{{Episode list/sublist|Lost (season 4)
| EpisodeNumber   = 74
| EpisodeNumber2  = 2
| Title           = Confirmed Dead
| DirectedBy      = [[Stephen Williams (director)|Stephen Williams]]
| WrittenBy       = [[Drew Goddard]] & [[Brian K. Vaughan]]
| Aux2            = [[Daniel Faraday|Faraday]]
| OriginalAirDate = {{Start date|2008|2|7}}
| Viewers         = 16.96&lt;ref name="rankings"/>
| ShortSummary    = A science team from the freighter arrives on the island.
| LineColor       = 00549A
| RowColor        = off
}}
|}&lt;/onlyinclude>
</syntaxhighlight">

The following code should appear on [[List of Lost episodes|List of ''Lost'' episodes]]:

<syntaxhighlight lang="wikitext">
== Season 1 ==
{{Main|Lost (season 1)}}
{{:Lost (season 1)}}
<!-- To edit the episodes in this section, you need to edit the article listed above. -->

== Season 2 ==
{{main|Lost (season 2)}}
{{:Lost (season 2)}}
<!-- To edit the episodes in this section, you need to edit the article listed above. -->
</syntaxhighlight">

Note the colon ({{strong|:}}) at the beginning of the transclusions; this is necessary when transcluding an article. If you tried to transclude [[Lost (season 1)|''Lost'' (season 1)]], without using the colon, you would get [[Template:Lost (season 1)]], a redlink to a nonexistent template.

The above code will appear as follows:

;Season 3
{{main|Lost (season 3)}}

=== Tips ===
It may be helpful to include a hidden message that will appear when someone edits the article. Placed above the table headers and under the article section, such as:

<syntaxhighlight lang="wikitext">
==Episodes==
<!-- For help with this template see https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Template:Episode_list -->
<onlyinclude>
{{Episode table

This message won't be visible when normally viewing the article. A message such as this notes where one can get help for the template.

Microformat

The HTML markup produced by this template includes an hCalendar microformat, which makes the event details parsable by computers, either acting automatically to catalogue article across Wikipedia, or via a browser tool operated by a person, to (for example) add the subject to a calendar or diary application. For more information about the use of microformats on Wikipedia, please see the microformat project.

Dates will only be included if you use {{Start date}} or {{End date}} (use the former for single dates). As an alternative, you may use {{Start-date}} and {{End-date}}.

hCalendar uses HTML classes including:

attendee
contact
description
dtend
dtstart
location
organiser
summary
vevent

Please do not rename or remove these classes; nor collapse nested elements which use them.

Pages which use multiple instances of this template can also use {{UF-timeline}}, in their external links section, to generate a SIMILE timeline. It renders as:

Event data as RDF ^{[dead link‍]}

For shows where each episode is from a different, single, specific place (for example, Time Team, one of the Aux fields can contain the coordinates, applied using {{coord}}.

Subpages

"Hacks" of this template, also known as "forks", are discouraged. Any discussion regarding forks should occur on this template's, not the fork's or article's, talk page.

Episode list templates

Notes

^ {{Start date}} emits metadata as part of the parent template's hCalendar microformat. It is only needed once per episode, and may be harmful if used twice or more.
