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|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.
