Usage
[mali mi di yibu sheena n-niŋ]The purpose of this template is to easily add a series overview table (as per WP:TVOVERVIEW) for television series' that require it, in either a simple format (i.e. just episodes and dates) or with extra information (e.g. networks, ratings, etc).
When a "Series overview" header is not present in the article, set |id=y
to set the table's HTML ID to "Series overview" so it can be directly linked to via #Series overview.

parameter of the first {{Start date}} template is set. If it is included (|df=y
), the cell will display Series, otherwise the cell will display Season. This can be overridden by setting either |seriesT=
or |seasonT=
to custom text.

Parameters
[mali mi di yibu sheena n-niŋ]
Key for alternate rows: |
Parameter available for split seasons as {parameter}* and {parameter}*{A–Z} |
Parameter available for split seasons only as {parameter}*{A–Z} |
Parameter available for specials as {parameter}*S or {parameter}*S{A–Z} |
Parameter | Description | Type | Status | ||
---|---|---|---|---|---|
Caption | caption | An appropriate caption for the table, normally something like "Series overview", which uses {{Screen reader-only}} to not be displayed in a browser but be voiced by a screen reader for accessibility. Required for proper accessibility. When a caption is not required on the page where the table is located, but is on a page where the table is transcluded, the caption may be wrapped in <includeonly>...</includeonly> .
|
Text | Required | |
HTML ID | id | When a "Series overview" header is not present in the article, set |id=y to set the table's HTML ID to "Series overview" so it can be directly linked to via #Series overview.
|
Text | Optional | |
Header titles | Season/Series | seasonT |
|
Text | Optional |
Info sub-headers | info{A-Z} |
|
Text | Optional | |
Auxiliary | aux{A-Z} or postaux{A-Z} |
|
Text | Optional | |
Country | country |
|
Text | Optional | |
Network | network | The network that multiple seasons have aired under, if a series has aired on two or more networks. Only use as a header title in multi-series franchises, in the initial declaration of the template, not the season-specific networks and set to "y" in this case. | Text | Optional | |
Transclusion display | *_transclude | Gives the option to toggle the display of certain columns (network and info columns are the only ones supported so far) when tranclcuding the overview. This parameter takes one of two values: 1) "onlyinclude", so the column is only included in the table when transcluded (i.e. not shown on the origin page), or 2) "noinclude", so the column is only included in the table on the origin page (i.e. not shown on the transcluding page). For the template to determine what the original article is, the original article title must be included as the first unnamed parameter (e.g. as {{Series overview|PAGE NAME}} or {{Series overview|1=PAGE NAME}} ).
|
Text | Optional | |
Franchises | Multiple series | multiseries | The individual series overviews that make up a multi-series franchise table. Use in the first series overview that declares the headers. The parameter value should be the separate series overviews. Set to "y" when "dontclose" is declared. | Series overviews | Optional |
Series | series | The linked, italicized title of the series when used in a multi-series franchise. Use in each separate series overview. | Link | Required when multiseries is set | |
Don't Close | dontclose | Set this parameter to "y" to be able to close the initial wikicode declaration of the multi-series franchise header overview, but to be able to continue displaying the separate series and rows after the header but outside of the initial declaration. Particularly useful for when the individual rows have to be transcluded outside of the article and thus must be outside of a template. To close the initial declaration, {{Series overview/end}} must be used. {{End}} is deprecated due to lint errors. | Text | Optional | |
