Documentation

This template allows for easy inline citation of episodes from multiple series in a single citation call. It is designed to combine citations from Caprica and the Re-imagined Series.

Usage

The template uses numbered parameters prefixed with the series name to accept episode titles. This is a robust method that works on all wikis.

cap1, cap2, cap3...: Used for Caprica episode titles. [cite_start]You can list up to 8. [cite: 3]
trs1, trs2, trs3...: Used for Re-imagined Series episode titles. [cite_start]You can list up to 8. [cite: 15]
[cite_start]del#: To mark a deleted scene from a Caprica episode, where the # corresponds to the number of the 'cap' parameter (e.g., `del1` applies to `cap1`). [cite: 4, 5]
nocat: Set to "Y" or "true" to prevent the template from adding categories to the page.

Examples

Combined Series

To cite episodes from both series, number them for each series prefix. {{ep|cap1=Pilot|cap2=Rebirth|trs1=33|trs2=Pegasus}}

Prints: ^{(CAP: Pilot and Rebirth; TRS: 33 and Pegasus)}

---

More Complex Punctuation

The template correctly handles commas and the word "and". {{ep|cap1=Dirteaters|cap2=False Labor|cap3=Blowback|trs1=Razor}}

Prints: ^{(CAP: Dirteaters, False Labor, and Blowback; TRS: Razor)}

---

With Deleted Scenes

To mark a deleted scene from a Caprica episode. {{ep|cap1=Pilot|del1=Y|cap2=Apotheosis|trs1=Daybreak, Part I|trs2=Daybreak, Part II}}

Prints: ^{(CAP: Pilot deleted scene and Apotheosis; TRS: Daybreak, Part I and Daybreak, Part II)}
