Template documentation[view] [edit] [history] [purge]

Template:Television network original programming category is used on the category pages of television network original programming categories (such as Category:Starz original programming) to explain the inclusion criteria.

Per WP:TVCATS: TV series should avoid network categories when they were not originally produced for that network. Exceptions to this include co-productions (such as The 4400), or when a show changes networks during its original run.

What it does

The template will perform the following:

• Adds the text shown above to the top of the category.
• Add a category ToC depending on the category size via Template:Automatic category TOC.
• Adds the category to the network main category, if it exists. Specifically, if the category name contains "original programming" and removing it produces an existing category then it is added. |nocat=true will omit this.
• If a nationality is supplied, it adds the category to the "Original programming by <nationality> television network or channel" category, such as Category:Original programming by American television network or channel.

Usage

• {{Television network original programming category}}
• {{Television network original programming category|<nationality>}}
  • See Category:Original programming by television network or channel for a list of valid nationalities.
