This template is for citing television or radio programs and episodes. The only required field is title, which can be wikilinked.
Usage
All fields must be lowercase. Copy a blank version to use:
{{cite episode
| title =
| episodelink =
| series =
| serieslink =
| credits =
| network =
| station =
| city =
| airdate =
| season =
| number =
| timestamp =
}}
Fields
Wikilinks
Most fields can be wikilinked (ie. network = [[network article|network name]]), but should generally only be linked to an existing Wikipedia article. Any wikilinked field must not contain any brackets apart from normal round brackets () — don't use <>[]{}.
Description of fields
Syntax (for the technical-minded)
Nested fields either rely on their parent fields, or replace them:
- parent
- child — may be used with parent (and is ignored if parent is not used)
- OR: child2 — may be used instead of parent (and is ignored if parent is used)
