Unknown parameter tracking added

edit

I have added tracking of unknown parameters to this infobox template. It is a feature of hundreds of infoboxes, and it can help find problems like |couch gag= (invalid, so the gag text won't display). Please see Category:Pages using infobox Simpsons episode with unknown parameters.

I have noticed that |focus= is used in many articles' infoboxes, but it is not a documented parameter. It should either be added to the template or removed from those infoboxes. It does not currently display. – Jonesey95 (talk) 04:01, 9 October 2018 (UTC)Reply

If you really want to do work on this template, it should be made to use Template:Infobox television episode as Template:Infobox Futurama episode does. That way it can be both better maintained, and gain the benefits of code improvements being done to the base template. --Gonnym (talk) 07:47, 9 October 2018 (UTC)Reply
The Futurama template uses a very strange hack to insert table rows with HTML in order to use custom parameters. I'm not going to maintain that kind of code. I'll leave it for someone else. – Jonesey95 (talk) 12:20, 9 October 2018 (UTC)Reply

Short description template

edit

WP:SHORTDESC for more information.

<includeonly>{{Television episode short description|episode_n={{{episode|}}}|season_num={{{season|}}}|series_name=The Simpsons|multi_episodes={{{multi_episodes|}}}|not_dab={{{not_dab|}}}}}</includeonly>

I'll need help sorting two things out:

  • There's a single two-parter in the series, spread between two seasons. We can either mess with the code for this one exception or just override the default description.
  • Each template will need to add the episode number within the season, not just in the show as a whole.
