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)

Description

  • title: The title of the program or episode being cited.
    • episodelink: The title of a Battlestar Wiki article about this episode. Don't link this yourself, it will be linked by the template. Remember that you can use section names here if the only relevant material in Wikipedia is a section of a larger article such as an episode list.
  • series: The name of the series the episode belongs to.
    • serieslink: The title of a Wikipedia article about the series. As with episodelink, don't link this yourself.
  • credits: Writers, directors, performers, producers, etc.
  • writers: Deprecated, do not use. The scriptwriter(s), appends after credits.
  • network: The network the episode was aired on. (ex. ABC, NBC, CBS, Fox, Disney, USA Network)
    • station: Call letters of the local station (if any).
    • city: City of the local station (if any) or network.
  • airdate: Full date the program or episode aired, in ISO 8601 YYYY-MM-DD format, eg. 2004-06-27. Must not be wikilinked.
  • format: What medium are you referencing to. (ex. TV, DVD, iTunes)
  • timestamp: Time format in HH:MM:SS. Must not be wikilinked.


Example
