Template:Aired episodes

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

Usage

The purpose of the {{Aired episodes}} template is to add a formatted string to List of ... episodes pages for television series, displaying the date of the last episode, the number of episodes that have aired in the series, and whether a season has recently finished.

Syntax

{{Aired episodes|YEAR|MONTH|DAY|num=NUMBER|showpage=SERIES PARENT ARTICLE|title=SERIES NAME|finished=SEASON|finished_part=NUMBER|finished_half=TEXT|airing=SEASON|uk=TEXT|part=TEXT|YEAR|MONTH|DAY}}

• If |num= is set, then it can either be set using a number, or transcluding the |num_episodes= parameter from {{Infobox television}} in the series' parent article using <onlyinclude></onlyinclude>. Setting |num= takes precedence.
• If |num= is not included, then |showpage= is set to the series' parent article, and the template gains the value of the |num_episodes= parameter from {{Infobox television}} in the series' parent article without the need for <onlyinclude></onlyinclude>.
• If neither |num= or |showpage= are set, then the template assumes |showpage= is set with the value of |title=; this can be used for where the series' title and series' parent article title are the same.
