Usage
The purpose of the {{Episode table}} template is to easily add header row to episode tables for television series, with up to 13 different columns, and optionally set the widths of these columns, and includes the {{Episode list}} template in the "episode" parameter. Cells are included by declaring the specific variable in one of two ways: title=
includes the "Title" cell with no set width, and title=30
includes the "Title" cell with a width of 30%.

Parted seasons
For seasons which have been split into parts, use {{Episode table/part}}, as per the examples below. The part row has a HTML ID attribute applied to it, equal to the text displayed; i.e. the ID attributes of the following examples will be "Part 1" and "Athelstan's Journal".
There are multiple available parameters for the parted template:
|act=1
gives Act 1|chapter=1
gives Chapter 1|part=1
gives Part 1|volume=1
gives Volume 1|week=1
gives Week 1
The use of a subtitle is used through |subtitle=Subtitle Name
, and can be used by itself or combined with any of the previous parameters. (Italics in the subtitle are to be inserted manually.) For example:
|chapter=1
|subtitle=Crossover
gives Chapter 1: Crossover|subtitle=''Crossover''
gives Crossover
(Note : |p=
and |nopart=
have been deprecated; use |part=
and |subtitle=
instead.)
Examples
{{Episode table/part|c=#183E54|part=1}}
No. overall | No. in season | Title | Directed by | Written by | Original air date | U.S. viewers (millions) | ||||||
---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|
Part 1 |
{{Episode table/part|c=#061453|subtitle=''Athelstan's Journal''}}
No. | Title | Directed by | Written by | Original air date | Length (minutes) | |||||||
---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|
Athelstan's Journal |
Parameters
Each cell parameter has an alias to match the parameters used in {{Episode list}}. In the Cell Inclusion & Widths rows, the original parameter is listed, followed by its episode-list alias. This means that this:
{{Episode table |background=#B40000 |overall=5 |season=5 |title=17 |director=11 |writer=37 |airdate=10 |prodcode=6 |viewers=9 |country=U.S.}}
will produce exactly the same as this:
{{Episode table |background=#B40000 |EpisodeNumber=5 |EpisodeNumber2=5 |Title=17 |DirectedBy=11 |WrittenBy=37 |OriginalAirDate=10 |ProdCode=6 |Viewers=9 |country=U.S.}}
Parameter | Description | Type | Status | ||
---|---|---|---|---|---|
Table caption | caption | A caption should be provided that describes in general the content of the table. By default, the caption uses {{Screen reader-only}} to not be visually displayed in a browser, but still be present and voiced by a screen reader for accessibility. To make the caption visible, use |show_caption=y . e.g. NCIS season 11 episodes

Number | Optional | |
Anchor | anchor | In {{Episode list}}, |EpisodeNumber= is a number representing the episode's order in the series. For example, the first episode would be 1 . When defined, the specified number also generates a link anchor, prefixed by ep ; for example, [[List of episodes#ep1]]
|anchor= parameter in the call of {{Episode table}}. For example, if |anchor= in this template is set to |anchor=Minisodes , then the anchor will be [[List of episodes#Minisodesep1]]
|anchor= parameter has no effect if the |episodes= parameter is absent.

Particularly useful for when the individual rows have to be transcluded outside of the article and thus must be outside of a template, or in articles with lots of templates that would otherwise exceed the post-expand include size limit. To close the initial declaration, {{End|html=y|Episode table}} must be used.

Text | Optional |
*: These variables can be included but not set to a value, e.g. |title=, which will include the cell but not set a width to it.
