Module:Television episode short description/sandbox
Appearance
![]() | This is the module sandbox page for Module:Television episode short description (diff). See also the companion subpage for test cases (run). |
![]() | This module depends on the following other modules: |
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
{{#invoke:Television episode short description|getShortDescription}}
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 | 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 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
- 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.
