== Usage in episode articles ==
How did you picture the episode articles thing? Were you going to use {{tl|Maelstrom NTSC broadcast date}} (which has been done BTW, I've been contributing to this project before it even existed) in [[Maelstrom]]? --[[User:Catrope|Catrope]]<sup>([[User talk:Catrope|Talk to me]] or [[Special:Emailuser/Catrope|e-mail me]])</sup> 04:31, 3 May 2007 (CDT)
:It was my bad I didn't realise that Maelstrom existed so i have changed it. It was only to serve a point anyway not an example of a change. I think you are a little confused on what exactly I'm trying to do here. Its an overhaul of the current system not something completely new. And you can see how i did the channel logo by looking at the code. --[[User:Mercifull|Mercifull]] <sup>([[User talk:Mercifull|Talk]]/[[Special:Contributions/Mercifull|Contribs]])</sup> 05:30, 3 May 2007 (CDT)

== Integration into {{tl|Episode Data}} ==

Could be integrated automatically :-) [[User:Shane|Shane]] <sup>([[User_Talk:Shane|T]] - [[Special:Contributions/Shane|C]] - [[Special:Editcount/Shane|E]])</sup> 05:03, 3 May 2007 (CDT)
:That's what I was getting at in my previous comment. We just use Template:PAGENAME NTSC broadcast date, really. --[[User:Catrope|Catrope]]<sup>([[User talk:Catrope|Talk to me]] or [[Special:Emailuser/Catrope|e-mail me]])</sup> 05:19, 3 May 2007 (CDT)
::I would like to see mockups for ideas, but I think the "date" in the template would need to be shorter. [[User:Shane|Shane]] <sup>([[User_Talk:Shane|T]] - [[Special:Contributions/Shane|C]] - [[Special:Editcount/Shane|E]])</sup> 05:23, 3 May 2007 (CDT)
:::How short would you want the date to be? --[[User:Mercifull|Mercifull]] <sup>([[User talk:Mercifull|Talk]]/[[Special:Contributions/Mercifull|Contribs]])</sup> 05:30, 3 May 2007 (CDT)
:::Also it couldn't be added automatically because there are some episodes with the same name as a TOS episode or like the Pegasus episode also shares its name with other pages. --[[User:Mercifull|Mercifull]] <sup>([[User talk:Mercifull|Talk]]/[[Special:Contributions/Mercifull|Contribs]])</sup> 05:48, 3 May 2007 (CDT)

==Example of use on page==
See [[Crossroads, Part II]] for how a template would look on the page. --[[User:Mercifull|Mercifull]] <sup>([[User talk:Mercifull|Talk]]/[[Special:Contributions/Mercifull|Contribs]])</sup> 05:37, 3 May 2007 (CDT)
:Included US airdate template too. --[[User:Mercifull|Mercifull]] <sup>([[User talk:Mercifull|Talk]]/[[Special:Contributions/Mercifull|Contribs]])</sup> 05:47, 3 May 2007 (CDT)
::Looks good. However, I am wondering if we should include all the "format" release dates. Make it a "2 by 2" table (4 cells) and label them accordingly. lol. Alot of this would be automated in the template itself of course.

:::I'm not the template expert lol but remember that these templates are used on the image tags for the episodes too arnt they?
