Battlestar Wiki:Episode parser

This page is one of Battlestar Wiki's many projects. This page serves to coordinate discussion on a particular aspect of this Wiki. The formal recommendations of a project may be treated as policies.

The episode parser allows quick rendering of links to episodes in any specified format. The parser can be placed inside templates or can be used alone. The production number(s) is how we generate the links. If a invalid number is inputted, it will just go onto the next one. As of right now, it only works on "English" title names.

Syntax

Using the parser: "#episode"

Full Syntax: {{#episode:format|production number(s)|series|link|before|after}}

Required

• format: Must include %episode% at least once.
• production numbers: The production numbers of the episodes. You can get the list from here.

Optional

• series: The series. eg. TOS, 1980, RDM, Caprica.
  • RDM is default.
• link
  • true: Will always make it a link (Default)
  • or false: If you are trying to create a Category inclusion ({{#episode:Category: ... }}) or Internalization inclusion ({{#episode:en: ... }}) set this to false. Otherwise it will make a link to this wiki.
• before: What to render before the link. (Default: empty)
• after: What to render after the link. (Default: <br />)
  • Note: Will not happen after the last item.
  • Note: To remove the default code, you would have to keep the field blank.
