Module:WritingCredits

Usage

The purpose of the {{WritingCredits}} template is to easily add the relevant writing credits in episode tables when they are separate, including formatting and a sufficiently-spaced colon.

The default order of the parameters as displayed are an unlabelled credit, "Writer", "Story", "Teleplay", "Storyboard", then the three extra parameters. The labelled credits can be changed using the "order" parameter (any unlabelled credit set with |1= remains top priority and cannot be reorganized).
