Template:Aired episodes/doc

Usage

The purpose of the {{Aired episodes}} template is to add a formatted string to List of ... episodes pages for television series, displaying the date of the last episode, the number of episodes that have aired in the series, and whether a season has recently finished.

Syntax

<syntaxhighlight lang="wikitext"></syntaxhighlight>

• If |num= is set, then it can either be set using a number, or transcluding the |num_episodes= parameter from {{Infobox television}} in the series' parent article using <onlyinclude></onlyinclude>. Setting |num= takes precedence.
• If |num= is not included, then |showpage= is set to the series' parent article, and the template gains the value of the |num_episodes= parameter from {{Infobox television}} in the series' parent article without the need for <onlyinclude></onlyinclude>.
• If neither |num= or |showpage= are set, then the template assumes |showpage= is set with the value of |title=; this can be used for where the series' title and series' parent article title are the same.

Format: YYYY/MM/DD	Number	Optional/Required Required for airing series (ignored when date set), Optional when "finished" equals "all" (inclusion will list date as a premiere date)
Date (finale)	4–6	The year (4), month (5) and day (6) of the series' finale date. Format: YYYY/MM/DD	Number	Optional/Required Not required for airing series, Optional when "finished" equals "all" but required if 1–3 parameters are set (inclusion will list date as a finale date)
Number	num	The number of episodes that have been aired up until the most recent, as a number, string or transclusion. Format: 9 / nine	Number/String	Optional/Required

Show's parent article	showpage	The unlinked parent article of the series, for usage with {{Template parameter value}} instead of using |num= (see explanation in syntax). |title= does not need to be used when |showpage= is used, as the template will automatically derive the series name from this parameter using {{PAGENAMEBASE}}. Format: Lucifer (TV series)	String	Optional
Series	title	The un-italicized title of the series. |title= does not need to be used when |showpage= is used, as the template will automatically derive the series name from this parameter using {{PAGENAMEBASE}}.

Released	released	Whether the season in question has been released online, rather than aired. Format: y	String	Optional
Airing	airing	Whether the season in question is currently airing. Format: 5	Number	Optional

Finished (parted season)	finished_part	If the season in question has paused after a distinct part, this value is the number of that concluded part. Format: 2	Number	Optional
Seasons	seasons	The number of seasons that a concluded series aired over. Converted to word for less than 10 seasons. Format: 3	Number	Optional
UK Format	uk	Whether the series in question follows the British format of titling and dating. Use |df=y to change the date format to DMY but not change the terminology. Format: Text / <blank>	String	Optional
Part	part	Use the term "part" as opposed to "season", especially for Netflix series that are released specifically in parts. Format: Text / <blank>	String	Optional
Specials	specials	How many specials have been aired throughout the series. Format: 1 or one	Number / String	Optional
