{{edit template-protected|Module:Episode list|answered=yes}}

<s>In response to [[User_talk:The_Mol_Man#Template:Episode_list]], a small change I made to the wikitext() function should fix it. It's found in [https://en.wikipedia.org/w/index.php?title=Module:Episode_list/sandbox&oldid=616955523 this revision of the sand box] (it's safe to just replace the module with the code on the /sandbox). I have no idea what was causing the issue in the first place. It appears to have been some issue with how Lua is creating the wikitext.

::That was me. The reason is didn't work is because the parser does not generate {{tag|p}} tags unless the text starts on a new line. That is what I added. Your hack was quite over the top.

== Template-protected edit request on 5 December 2014 ==

{{edit template-protected|Module:Episode list|answered=y}}
This module fails to place a space between the Title (which is rendered in quotes) and RTitle, in cases where the call includes both parameters. For example, the following strings are rendered at [[List of South Park episodes#Shorts, sketches, and other appearances]] (note the lack of a space after the closing quotation mark):
* "''Magic: The Gathering''"promotional bumper
* "Kenny's Dead"music video
* "The Aristocrats"sketch

While my Lua experience is modest, I suggest either of the following changes:
* <syntaxhighlight lang="lua">title_string = title_string..'"'..args.Title..'"'</syntaxhighlight> ...to...
: <syntaxhighlight lang="lua">title_string = title_string..'"'..args.Title..'" '</syntaxhighlight>, or change...
* <syntaxhighlight lang="lua">title_string = title_string..args.RTitle</syntaxhighlight> ...to...
: <syntaxhighlight lang="lua">title_string = title_string..' '..args.RTitle</syntaxhighlight>

True, so how about we insert the following at line #141 instead?

if args.Title and args.RTitle then
    title_string = title_string..' '

:::::::This change needs to be reverted ASAP. There can be no space between Title and RTitle or AltTitle and RAltTitle. In the vast majority of cases, RTitle and RAltTitle are used to add references to episodes and the change now puts a space between the text and the reference, which breaches [[WP:REFPUNCT]]. This is essentially the same change that {{u|Edokter}} made to {{tl|Episode list}} back in 2012,[https://en.wikipedia.org/w/index.php?title=Template%3AEpisode_list&diff=508001408&oldid=497448080] and it had to be reverted then as well.[https://en.wikipedia.org/w/index.php?title=Template:Episode_list&diff=next&oldid=508001555] In the odd case where a space is needed, the workaround has always been to code a non-breaking space as the first character in the RTitle or RAltTitle fields. As it stands now, when a new episode is added, the RTitle field has to be used insted of Title and quotes must be manually added. Normal practice is to remove references after episodes have aired, generally by removing the RTitle field and reference. Now, it's necessary to remove the reference manually leaving the RTitle field. Then, somebody has to clean the table up by changing RTitle to Title and removing the quotes. It's a ridiculous situation at best. The motivation behind {{u|Voidxor}}'s request seems to be based on a misunderstanding of how {{tl|Episode list}} is used. The fixes for [[List of South Park episodes#Shorts, sketches, and other appearances]], the examples that were given, are relatively simple.[https://en.wikipedia.org/w/index.php?title=List_of_South_Park_episodes&diff=641217443&oldid=641036524] We shouldn't modify a template and make hundreds, possibly thousands, of articles no longer compliant with [[WP:REFPUNCT]] to fix such a simple issue in a single article. --[[User:AussieLegend|'''<span style="color:green;">Aussie</span><span style="color:gold;">Legend</span>''']] ([[User talk:AussieLegend#top|<big>✉</big>]]) 08:13, 6 January 2015 (UTC)

::I've already addressed that in my post above. Voidxor gave some examples where the fix was rather simple.[https://en.wikipedia.org/w/index.php?title=List_of_South_Park_episodes&diff=641217443&oldid=641036524] There is an alternate method.[https://en.wikipedia.org/w/index.php?title=User%3AAussieLegend%2Fsandbox&diff=641277096&oldid=641276856] In the "Magic: The Gathering" example, {{para|Title}} should never have been used. "Magic: The Gathering" should only be italicised, not italicised and quoted (the Title and AltTitle fields automatically place the episode title inside quotation marks). In both fixes, the resolution is the same. For the other two, you can either use both Title and RTitle and add a non-breaking space at the beginning of the RTitle field, or just use the RTitle field and add the quotes manually. The non-breaking space method is normally used when "(Part x)" is not part of the episode title. The examples provided by Voidxor are unusual cases. --[[User:AussieLegend|'''<span style="color:green;">Aussie</span><span style="color:gold;">Legend</span>''']] ([[User talk:AussieLegend#top|<big>✉</big>]]) 18:52, 6 January 2015 (UTC)
::Noting [https://en.wikipedia.org/w/index.php?title=Wikipedia%3AAdministrators%27_noticeboard%2FIncidents&diff=641268455&oldid=641268433 this edit] at ANI, most editors seem to think that "RTitle" means "RefTitle" and the instructions for that field say "Unformatted parameter that can be used to add a [[WP:CITE|reference]] after "<code>Title</code>", or can be used as a "'''raw''' title" to replace "<code>Title</code>" completely. Future episodes should include a reference in this field to comply with [[Wikipedia:Verifiability]]." The emphasis is on using it for a reference, with the ability to use it for other purposes as a bonus. Regarding the question that was asked in another edit, "How many more uses require the space that the initial edit catered for?", RTitle is usually only used for references. Once an episode has aired, the reference and the RTitle field is generally removed, as the episode serves as the primary reference. {{tl|Episode list}} is used on 6,163 pages, while {{tl|Episode list/sublist}} is used on 2,875. I don't think there's a way of counting actual uses but it has been estimated that there could be 120,000 or more uses of the template. I'd be surprised if RTitle was used more than 2,000-3,000 times and not all of them require the nbsp workaround. --[[User:AussieLegend|'''<span style="color:green;">Aussie</span><span style="color:gold;">Legend</span>''']] ([[User talk:AussieLegend#top|<big>✉</big>]]) 19:03, 6 January 2015 (UTC)

::::Yes, I said in my post that's what it's used for, but this is likely to be less than a couple of thousand instances, out of 120,000 uses of the template. I'm a bit confused about "the original request".

:::Only concern is that some existing RTitles start with a non-breaking space such as before (Part x) where a line break is not desired after the Title in quotes. Adding a space for all but ref tags will also put a space before the non-breaking space character and permit a line break that is not desired.

::::::As someone who spends far too much time cleaning up TV articles containing episodes lists, I have to disagree. The main use of RTitle ''is'' as the reference field. The second main use is for containing "(Part x)" when that isn't part of the episode title and we add nbsp so that the title and the part number remain attached. Other than that, we generally use the RTitle field exclusively for custom text, as in the case of the "Magic: The Gathering" example given above, but that doesn't really get a lot of use. On my wish list of things to change in {{tl|Episode list}}, "fixing" this "problem" doesn't even rate a mention. If we were talking about {{para|Viewers}} defaulting to "N/a" or "TBA" when the fields is empty or adding a reference field for {{para|Viewers}}, I might get excited. We had some very long discussions in 2012, starting at [[Template talk:Episode list/Archive 3#Requested edits]] and finishing somewhere near the end of [[Template talk:Episode list/Archive 4]] but even then it wasn't an issue. Working out how to automatically insert a space on the very odd occasion that one is needed is really unnecessary effort. --[[User:AussieLegend|'''<span style="color:green;">Aussie</span><span style="color:gold;">Legend</span>''']] ([[User talk:AussieLegend#top|<big>✉</big>]]) 11:01, 8 January 2015 (UTC)

== A request to module editors ==

This module is used in {{tl|Episode list}}, the primary user of which is [[WP:TV|WikiProject Television]]. Generally, few end users monitor template pages anyway, but even less monitor modules such as this. Prior to making any changes to this module it would be appreciated if some notification is made at the template talk page, or at [[WT:TV]] so end users can be aware of what is happening. This will avoid situations as that which happened in January when undiscussed changes resulted in the [[WP:REFPUNCT]] violation [[#Template-protected edit request on 5 December 2014|above]]. It was only because I have template editing experience that I thought to check the module page. Other editors had no idea what was going on. Had I not still had the page on my watchlist, Rich Farmbrough's request would likely have gone unanswered by somebody who actually uses the template. --[[User:AussieLegend|'''<span style="color:green;">Aussie</span><span style="color:gold;">Legend</span>''']] ([[User talk:AussieLegend#top|<big>✉</big>]]) 19:08, 31 March 2015 (UTC)

==No episode title==
An editor has asked for help doing an episode guide for a series with no titles.  The module does not support empty title columns because it processes "Title" specially, as it is an agglutination of fields, and the check for that column does not check that it will not be empty.  I have introduced such a check, which considers all four arguments which can comprise the title column, in the sandbox.

Are there any other issues that prevent this from being made live?

:I eventually found the request that you referred to, at least I assume it's [[Wikipedia:Teahouse/Questions#wikitables|''this'']]. Typically, we require citations for all future episodes and these are normally placed in {{para|RTitle}}, which appears in {{para|Title}}. If one adds a citation without an episode this will result in an error:
{| class="wikitable plainrowheaders" style="width:100%; margin:auto; background: #ffffff;"
!style="background-color: #6DE" | Episode
!style="background-color: #6DE" | Directed by
!style="background-color: #6DE" | Written by 
!style="background-color: #6DE" | Original air date 
{{Episode list/sandbox

 |WrittenBy       = TBA
 |OriginalAirDate = {{Start date|2015|4|29}}
 |ShortSummary    = 
 |LineColor       = 6DE
}}
|}
:It's for that reason {{para|Title}} is required. Where an episode has no title, which seems common on UK programmes, we typically use "Series x, episode y" or something similar as the title. (See [[List of Top Gear episodes]], [[List of Primeval episodes]] for examples). In the event that an episode article is eventually created, it's in this field that the link to the article is normally included. I can understand the issues that the editor is having, but the resolution seems inconsistent with standard practice throughout [[WP:TV|WikiProject Television]], which is the primary user of this module. --[[User:AussieLegend|'''<span style="color:green;">Aussie</span><span style="color:gold;">Legend</span>''']] ([[User talk:AussieLegend#top|<big>✉</big>]]) 18:53, 31 March 2015 (UTC)
::This seems to be a hack - making up episode titles to fit a technical issue.  If no title column is used the ref can be added to any appropriate column, either explicitly or through an additional parameter. (Note that the only reason RTitle exists is to avoid having the reference inside the quote marks - there is nothing particularly "referency" about the Title column, rather the contrary.)

::I considered throwing an error if an illogical combination of Title, RTitle, AltTitle and RAltTitle are used, but I see that these parameters are designed to be abused as "raw titles".  It would be better to have separate parameters for "raw titles" as it would allow the space issue to be fixed properly, and allow referencing and a raw title to coexist.  That, however, is beyond the scope of this change.

:::Yes, the reference can be added to any column but the convention is to use the RTitle field, and that's the way it has been done for years. Its use has previously been discussed, at FAR, at resulting discussions at the template talk page that resulted in changes to the template, and at [[WT:TV]]. Changing that convention is beyond the scope of this change too. Adding a reference to {{para|EpisodeNumber}} is not recommended, as it affects linking to the section. In your example above, <nowiki>[[#3-6]]</nowiki> no longer works. Neither does <nowiki>[[#3-6<sup>[1]</sup>]]</nowiki>. --[[User:AussieLegend|'''<span style="color:green;">Aussie</span><span style="color:gold;">Legend</span>''']] ([[User talk:AussieLegend#top|<big>✉</big>]]) 21:27, 31 March 2015 (UTC)

Thee is no auto link to sections, and manually they can be done trivially:
{| class="wikitable plainrowheaders" style="width:100%; margin:auto; background: #ffffff;"
!style="background-color: #6DE" | Episode
!style="background-color: #6DE" | Directed by
!style="background-color: #6DE" | Written by 
!style="background-color: #6DE" | Original air date 
{{Episode list/sandbox
 |EpisodeNumber   = No episode title
 |DirectedBy      = TBA
 |WrittenBy       = TBA
 |OriginalAirDate = {{Start date|2015|4|29}}
 |ShortSummary    = 
 |LineColor       = 6DE
}}
{{Episode list/sandbox
 |EpisodeNumber   = [[#No episode title]]<sup>[1]</sup>
 |DirectedBy      = TBA
 |WrittenBy       = TBA
 |OriginalAirDate = {{Start date|2015|4|29}}
 |ShortSummary    = 
 |LineColor       = 6DE
}}
|}
Also references are widely used in other columns, even from the handful of pages I have seen.

But this is really beside the point.  The proposed change does not break any existing tables.  If someone were to attempt to add a reference to a non-existing title, they should expect the same problem as if they were to use any other column not defined for that particular series. 

All&nbsp;the&nbsp;best: ''[[User:Rich Farmbrough|Rich]]&nbsp;[[User talk:Rich Farmbrough|Farmbrough]]'',&nbsp;<small>19:55,&nbsp;3&nbsp;April&nbsp;2015&nbsp;(UTC).</small><br />

:I'm not sure what you're referring to when you say "The[r]e is no auto link to sections". I was talking about the anchor provided by {{para|EpisodeNumber}}. For example see [[List of NCIS episodes#ep67]], which links to the episode "[[List of NCIS episodes#ep67|Bloodbath]]". It's not possible to link to the episode that you've shown as "[[#No episode title]]<sup>[1]</sup>" Yes, references are used in other columns but when they reference the whole episode, or even a significant portion of it, they are supposed to go in RTitle. The claim that "If someone were to attempt to add a reference to a non-existing title, they should expect the same problem as if they were to use any other column not defined for that particular series" is misleading. We expect episode titles for ''all'' episodes and references are normally added to RTitle. If a reference was added to "RTitle" without an episode title in "Title" it would cause confusion. We don't normally add references to fields that aren't defined, simply because they're not defined. Why would anyone add a refernce to, say, WrittenBy if the field was empty? That makes no sense. I don't disagree with the code change in principle, but the documentation should still require episode titles, making the code change unnecessary. As you can see at [[Draft:Six Degrees (or 6 Degrees)]], if we format the list as we expect it to be formatted, the original problem has been solved. --[[User:AussieLegend|'''<span style="color:green;">Aussie</span><span style="color:gold;">Legend</span>''']] ([[User talk:AussieLegend#top|<big>✉</big>]]) 03:57, 4 April 2015 (UTC)

== EpisodeNumberRowspan ==

A suggestion for an optional variable called EpisodeNumberRowspan (inserted after EpisodeNumber), to give a rowspan to the EpisodeNumber column (default 1). The use for it can be seen [[User:AlexTheWhovian/sandbox#Episodes|in my sandbox]] - this provides easier visual identification for more serialized television series where multi-part episodes are a major factor of the series (e.g. Doctor Who), instead of episode numbers like 164a and 164b. 
''Update:'' I attempted this myself in [[Module:Episode list/sandbox]] (with no experience in Lua, but plenty in other languages, so I caught on rather quickly), tested it out in [[Module:Episode list/testcases]], and it seems to work. The additional/modified lines in the sandbox are lines 121-123 and 131.

== Anchor not working ==

== Edit Request ==

{{edit template-protected|ans=y}}
Many television series have "multi-part episodes", and editors have used {{para|LineColor|none}}. These come up frequently when clearing out [[:Category:Episode lists with invalid line colors]], so is it possible to edit the module so that when the LineColour is set to ''none'', it doesn't necessarily list in the category? It's not invalid as such concerning the contrast issues for which the category was initially created. Also, it would be handy if something like {{para|LineColor|black}} is used, it actually gives a black line instead of reporting it as invalid.

The category, [[:Category:Pages with script errors]], has [https://en.wikipedia.org/w/api.php?action=query&list=categorymembers&cmtitle=Category%3APages%20with%20script%20errors&cmprop=title%7Ctimestamp&cmlimit=500&cmsort=timestamp&cmdir=desc&format=xml just added] hundreds of new entries, seemingly all caused by the recent change to this module by {{U|AlexTheWhovian}}. Please revert these changes to fix the errors, unless they can be rapidly fixed. As per the notice at the top of the module, changes on such a module should have been tested in the sandbox first.--<small>[[User:JohnBlackburne|JohnBlackburne]]</small><sup>[[User_talk:JohnBlackburne|words]]</sup><sub style="margin-left:-2.0ex;">[[Special:Contributions/JohnBlackburne|deeds]]</sub> 11:27, 9 December 2016 (UTC)
