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

This template uses Lua:

Module:Series overview (sandbox)

Usage

The purpose of this template is to easily add a series overview table (as per WP:TVOVERVIEW) for television series' that require it, in either a simple format (i.e. just episodes and dates) or with extra information (e.g. networks, ratings, etc).

When a "Series overview" header is not present in the article, set |id=y to set the table's HTML ID to "Series overview" so it can be directly linked to via #Series overview.

Series/Season & "dd mmm yyyy" dates

The top-left cell displays either Series or Season, determined if the |df= parameter of the first {{Start date}} template is set. If it is included (|df=y), the cell will display Series, otherwise the cell will display Season. This can be overridden by setting either |seriesT= or |seasonT= to custom text.

The following is an example of an alternate franchise overview table, where the entries per row are condensed by series rather than season; if a separate "List of [franchise] television series" article exists, these are typically used in the parent franchise article, with the more-detailed above example used in the list article.

Parameters

Key for alternate rows:

Parameter available for split seasons as {parameter}* and {parameter}*{A–Z}

Parameter available for split seasons only as {parameter}*{A–Z}

Parameter available for specials as {parameter}*S or {parameter}*S{A–Z}

A * next to parameters below indicates any number that is a positive integer, starting from one for regular/split seasons, and zero for specials.

Template parameters
Parameter			Description	Type	Status
Caption		caption	An appropriate caption for the table, normally something like "Series overview", which uses {{Screen reader-only}} to not be displayed in a browser but be voiced by a screen reader for accessibility. Required for proper accessibility. When a caption is not required on the page where the table is located, but is on a page where the table is transcluded, the caption may be wrapped in `<includeonly>...</includeonly>`.	Text	Required
HTML ID		id	When a "Series overview" header is not present in the article, set `\|id=y` to set the table's HTML ID to "Series overview" so it can be directly linked to via #Series overview.	Text	Optional
Header titles	Season/Series	seasonT	Set to change custom text in the cell where Series/Season is typically displayed. Format: Series Alternate: seriesT	Text	Optional
	Info sub-headers	info{A-Z}	The sub-headers of the extra information (e.g. Viewers (in millions)) for the series in question. 26 columns are available for extra information (labelled infoA ... infoZ). When used in multi-series franchise overviews, set the value to the column titles in the initial declaration of the template, and set to "y" in each of the separate series overviews to still include the info cells. Format: Viewers (in millions)	Text	Optional
	Auxiliary	aux{A-Z}	The titles of the auxiliary columns. 25 columns are available for pre-episode auxiliary columns (labelled auxA ... auxZ, barring auxS which clashes with specials), and a further 25 columns are available for post-episode auxiliary columns (labelled postauxA ...). Format: Title	Text	Optional
	Auxiliary	postaux{A-Z}		Text	Optional
	Country	country	Add a country to the "Originally aired/released" header cell. Format: U.S.	Text	Optional
	Network	network	The network that multiple seasons have aired under, if a series has aired on two or more networks. Only use as a header title in multi-series franchises, in the initial declaration of the template, not the season-specific networks and set to "y" in this case.	Text	Optional
	Transclusion display	info{A-Z}_transclude	Gives the option to toggle the display of certain columns (network and info columns are the only ones supported so far) when transcluding the overview. This parameter takes one of two values: 1) "onlyinclude", so the column is only included in the table when transcluded (i.e. not shown on the origin page), or 2) "noinclude", so the column is only included in the table on the origin page (i.e. not shown on the transcluding page). For the template to determine what the original article is, the original article title must be included as the first unnamed parameter (e.g. as `{{Series overview\|PAGE NAME}}` or `{{Series overview\|1=PAGE NAME}}`).	Text	Optional
	Transclusion display	network_transclude		Text	Optional
Franchises	Multiple series	multiseries	The individual series overviews that make up a multi-series franchise table. Use in the first series overview that declares the headers. The parameter value should be the separate series overviews. Set to "y" when "dontclose" is declared.	Series overviews	Optional
	Series	series	The linked, italicized title of the series when used in a multi-series franchise. Use in each separate series overview.	Link	Required when multiseries is set
	Don't Close	dontclose	Set this parameter to "y" to be able to close the initial wikicode declaration of the multi-series franchise header overview, but to be able to continue displaying the separate series and rows after the header but outside of the initial declaration. Particularly useful for when the individual rows have to be transcluded outside of the article and thus must be outside of a template. To close the initial declaration, {{Series overview/end}} must be used. {{End}} is deprecated due to lint errors.	Text	Optional
Season specifics	Part	part*	The insertion of a parted series overview row before this particular numbered season row, using the template and parameters described in § Multi-series franchise and part subheaders. Format: {{Series overview/part}}	Template	Optional
	Color	color*	The color of the season table for the season in question. In the case where no colours are used at all, between any seasons, the coloured cell column will be removed. Format: black / #000000	Color	Required
	Link	link*	The link to the season in question. Transclusion format: <includeonly>List of iZombie episodes</includeonly>#Season 1 (2015) Non-transclusion format: #Season 1 (2015)	Text	Required
	Link Text	linkT*	Alternate text to display in the season link rather than the season number. Format: Special	Text	Optional
	Raw Link Text	linkR*	Additional text to display next to the season link, outside of the link itself. Good for references or notes. Format: {{efn}}	Text	Optional
	Auxiliary	aux{A-Z}*	Auxiliary columns for season titles, etc. This column spans rows when succeeding auxiliary parameters are not set. "aux" parameters are placed between the Season and Episode columns, and "postaux" parameters are placed between the Episode and Date columns. Format: Coven	Text	Optional
	Auxiliary	postaux{A-Z}*		Text	Optional
	Episodes	episodes*	The number of episodes in the season in question. Set to "hide" for split seasons to hide the total episode count and use only the split episode counts. This is particular useful for when the episodes don't combine together; for example, a pilot episode then a full season. Setting to "hide" for regular seasons has no effect. Set `\|episodesA=` to "hide" to simply show a total episodes value and hide all split episode counts; only episodesA needs to be set for this. Adjust the column header using `\|episodesT=`. Format: 22 Exclusion: `{{N/A\|TBA}}`	Number / Text	Optional
	Released date	released*	The release date of the season in question, when the season is released over one day. The date will span over two columns. This parameter (or the start parameter) is required for the row of the overview to appear; without a date but with the inclusion of any other parameter, the row will not display. To display a row without a release date, use `{{N/A\|TBA}}`. Cannot be used with the start or end date parameters. Use of this parameter changes "Originally/First/Last aired" to "Originally/First/Last released", with the same intent as setting `\|released=y` Format: `{{Start date\|2015\|3\|17}}` Exclusion: `{{N/A\|TBA}}`	Date	Required (when used instead of start)
	Start date	start*	The start date of the season in question. This parameter is required for the row of the overview to appear; without a date but with the inclusion of any other parameter, the row will not display. To display a row without a start date, use `{{N/A\|TBA}}`. Cannot be used with the release date parameter. Format: `{{Start date\|2015\|3\|17}}` Exclusion: `{{N/A\|TBA}}`	Date	Required (when used instead of released)
	End date	end*	The end date of the season in question. Only usable with the start* date parameter. Format: `{{End date\|2015\|6\|9}}` Exclusion: `{{N/A\|TBA}}`	Date/Text	Optional
	Network	network*	The network that multiple seasons have aired under, if a series has aired on two or more networks. The span of the network column is calculated automatically. Format: ABC	Text	Optional
	Info	info{A-Z}*	The values of the extra information (e.g. Ratings) for the season in question. Note: Information cell parameters will be automatically set to `{{N/A\|TBA}}` if set for a previous season (e.g. infoA1) but not included for the current season (e.g. infoA2) in regular series overviews. Information cells will automatically span over empty rows in multi-series franchise series overviews if set for a previous season but not included for the current season; they cannot, however, span between separate series-specific overviews, meaning information may be repeated (e.g. a "Released" status for multiple series that have been released). Format: 28	Text	Optional
	Spanning cells	aux{A-Z}*[{A-Z}]span	A set value for an auxiliary, post-auxiliary, network or info cell to span downwards through rowspan outside of its standard calculated value. Format: 28	Number	Optional
		postaux{A-Z}*[{A-Z}]span
		network*{A-Z}span
		info{A-Z}*span
Release	Released	released	Determines whether the television series in question was released online or aired. Changes "Originally/First/Last aired" to "Originally/First/Last released". Not needed when any season uses the released date parameter; this will automatically updated. Format: y	Text	Optional
