Module:Television episode short description extracts data from a television episode article's Template:Infobox television episode and creates a relevant short description based on the data available.

This module implements the {{Television episode short description}} template.

Usage

Parameter list

The parameter names use a corresponding parameter from Template:Infobox television episode to fill in the data. They are listed below.

Parameter Corresponding infobox parameter Description
series_name series The TV series name.
episode_num episode The episode's number.
season_num season The season's number.
season_num_uk series_no The season's number if using the British "series" term.
not_dab same name Set if the TV series name has parentheses as part of its name.
special same name special=recap will set the text to "recap episode".
limited same name Set if the series is a single season series, such as miniseries or limited series and does not need a season number as part of the description.

Examples

Issues

  1. If an article does not show the short description with the data from the infobox, make sure you entered the parameter names correctly in the infobox.

A suitable description will be generated depending on the values
of the various parameters. See documentation for examples.

Parameters:
	-- |episode_num=		— optional; The episode's number.
	-- |season_num=			— optional; The season's number.
	-- |season_num_uk=		— optional; The season's number if using the British "series" term.
	-- |series_name=		— optional; The TV series name.
	-- |multi_episodes=		— optional; Setting "yes" will default to a two-part episode.
								If there are more than 2 parts, set the value to the number of parts.
	-- |not_dab=			— optional; Set if the TV series name has parentheses as part of its name.
	-- |special=			— optional; Setting to "yes" will set the description as a "special episode".
								Any other value will replace the word "special" with the one entered. For example "special=recap" will create "recap episode".
