Usage
The purpose of the ((Episode table)) template is to easily add header row to episode tables for television series, with up to 13 different columns, and optionally set the widths of these columns, and includes the ((Episode list)) template in the "episode" parameter. Cells are included by declaring the specific variable in one of two ways: title= includes the "Title" cell with no set width, and title=30 includes the "Title" cell with a width of 30%.

Parted seasons
For seasons which have been split into parts, use ((Episode table/part)), as per the examples below. The part row has a HTML ID attribute applied to it, equal to the text displayed; i.e. the ID attributes of the following examples will be "Part 1" and "Athelstan's Journal".
There are multiple available parameters for the parted template:
|act=1gives Act 1|chapter=1gives Chapter 1|part=1gives Part 1|volume=1gives Volume 1|week=1gives Week 1
The use of a subtitle is used through |subtitle=Subtitle Name, and can be used by itself or combined with any of the previous parameters. (Italics in the subtitle are to be inserted manually.) For example:
|chapter=1|subtitle=Crossovergives Chapter 1: Crossover|subtitle=''Crossover''gives Crossover
(Note : |p= and |nopart= have been deprecated; use |part= and |subtitle= instead.)
Examples
((Episode table/part|c=#183E54|part=1))
| No. overall | No. in season | Title | Directed by | Written by | Original air date | U.S. viewers (millions) | ||||||
|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|
| Part 1 | ||||||||||||
((Episode table/part|c=#061453|subtitle=''Athelstan's Journal''))
| No. | Title | Directed by | Written by | Original air date | Length (minutes) | |||||||
|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|
| Athelstan's Journal | ||||||||||||
Parameters
Each cell parameter has an alias to match the parameters used in ((Episode list)). In the Cell Inclusion & Widths rows, the original parameter is listed, followed by its episode-list alias. This means that this:
((Episode table |background=#B40000 |overall=5 |season=5 |title=17 |director=11 |writer=37 |airdate=10 |prodcode=6 |viewers=9 |country=U.S.))
will produce exactly the same as this:
((Episode table |background=#B40000 |EpisodeNumber=5 |EpisodeNumber2=5 |Title=17 |DirectedBy=11 |WrittenBy=37 |OriginalAirDate=10 |ProdCode=6 |Viewers=9 |country=U.S.))
| Parameter | Description | Type | Status | ||
|---|---|---|---|---|---|
| Table caption | caption | A caption should be provided that describes in general the content of the table. By default, the caption uses ((Screen reader-only)) to not be visually displayed in a browser, but still be present and voiced by a screen reader for accessibility. To make the caption visible, use |show_caption=y. e.g. NCIS season 11 episodes

Number | Optional | |
| Anchor | anchor | In ((Episode list)), |EpisodeNumber= is a number representing the episode's order in the series. For example, the first episode would be 1. When defined, the specified number also generates a link anchor, prefixed by "ep"; for example, "[[List of episodes#ep1]]
|anchor= parameter in the call of ((Episode table)). For example, if |anchor= in this template is set to "Minisodes
[[List of episodes#Minisodesep1]]
|anchor= parameter has no effect if the |episodes= parameter is absent.

Particularly useful for when the individual rows have to be transcluded outside of the article and thus must be outside of a template, or in articles with lots of templates that would otherwise exceed the post-expand include size limit. To close the initial declaration, ((End|html=y|Episode table)) must be used.

Text | Optional | |
*: These variables can be included but not set to a value, e.g. |title=, which will include the cell but not set a width to it.
