This template is a customized wrapper for the infobox template ((Infobox television episode)). Any field from ((Infobox television episode)) can work so long as it is added to this template first. Questions? Just ask over at Template talk:Infobox television episode while referencing Template:Infobox Futurama episode.

This infobox should italicize the article title automatically. If this is not required, add |italic_title=no to the list of parameters.

This template adds an automatically generated short description. If the automatic short description is not optimal, replace it by adding ((Short description)) at the top of the article.

Template:Infobox Futurama episode is used to create an infobox which summarizes the main information of a Futurama episode.

Usage[edit]

The infobox may be added by pasting the template as shown below into an article, typically at the top of an article above the lead section. This infobox creates a short description based on the data provided to the infobox. For more information on this, see the documentation at Template:Television episode short description.

Parameters[edit]

Link people only if they have articles. For most of the fields below^[a], if there are multiple entries, separate them using bulleted lists (*). When adding data to fields, do not use small text as this reduces the size of the text to below 85% of the page font size. See Wikipedia:Manual of Style/Accessibility#Text for more information.

Template parameters
Parameter	Explanation
italic_title	A "no" value will disable the automatic italicization of the series name in the parenthesis. This parameter should not be used most of the time.
image	An image, if needed. Wikilinking, "File:", and pixel size not required. Remember, virtually all TV screenshots are copyrighted, so they must be low resolution, and be accompanied by a non-free use rationale. There is no blanket allowance for an image per episode. A non-free screenshot should be used only if it meets the Wikipedia:Non-free content criteria, i.e. typically if it is required to illustrate a crucial element of the episode that is the object of explicit, sourced analytical commentary and where that commentary is in genuine need of visual support.
image_size	Image size in pixels. Should be 250 or less. If not specified, image defaults to frameless (220px). "px" is not required.
image_upright	Use of this parameter is preferred to using `\|image_size=`, as it allows auto-sizing of images according to user preferences. By default, the infobox image scales to upright=1 (which is 1 × 220px if the default thumbnail size has not been changed at Special:Preferences). For upright posters, a value of upright=1 is recommended. The size should not be set to a value that would result in an image width greater than 300px. See help below for guidance on determining the value to be used.
image_alt	Alt text for image per WP:MOSALT.
caption	A caption explaining the image.
season	The number of the season this episode is part of.
episode	The number of the episode within the season.
director	The director(s) of this episode. Separate multiple people using bulleted lists (`*`). In addition, link each director to their appropriate article if possible.
writer	The writer(s) of this episode. Separate multiple people using bulleted lists (`*`). In addition, link each writer to their appropriate article if possible.
story	The writer(s) of the episode's story. Separate multiple people using bulleted lists (`*`). Use this field instead of the normal writer field if television episodes divide writing credits between teleplay and story writers.
teleplay	The writer(s) of the episode's teleplay. Separate multiple people using bulleted lists (`*`). Use this field instead of the normal writer field if television episodes divide writing credits between teleplay and story writers.
based_on	The original work the episode is based on. Use ((Based on)) to add the title of the source material and the name(s) of the source material writer(s). Use this field in conjunction with teleplay and story where applicable. This field should be used if the episode is based on previously produced or published material, such as books, plays, articles, old screenplays, etc. and should not be used where the source material is ambiguous. This field should not be used for general adaptations, such as The Flash episodes being based on characters from DC Comics, however, do use it if a specific episode of that series is a direct adaptation of a specific comic.
producer	The producer(s) of this episode. As television episodes typically have several credited producers, not all of whom had a direct role in the production of the episode, it is advisable to just include the show runner(s). Separate multiple people using bulleted lists (`*`). In addition, link each producer to their appropriate article if possible.
music	The music of this episode. Use ((Work by author)) to add the title of the song and the name(s) of the song performer. Separate multiple music using bulleted lists (`*`). Television episodes often include numerous songs; only include the most notable (typically songs playing during key scenes).
editor	The editor(s) of this episode. Separate multiple people using bulleted lists (`*`). In addition, link each editor to their appropriate article if possible.
production	The production code or number of this episode. Separate multiple codes using bulleted lists (`*`).
airdate	The original airing date of the episode; use ((Start date)). Separate multiple dates using bulleted lists (`*`).
length	The original length of the episode, including credits, in minutes. It should indicate runtime (without commercials), or with commercials.
guests	Guest star(s) in the episode. Separate multiple people using bulleted lists (`*`). If using bullets, include the name of the character the guest actor portrays using a single space, "as", and another single space: "<actor> as <character>". Link to the appropriate character article, if one exists.
prev	The title of the previous episode. If an article or redirect exist, link to it. If one does not exist, consider creating a redirect to the episode anchor in the season article. If a redirect isn't created directly link to the season article with an anchor to that episode. If this is the first episode of the TV series, leave blank. The title is automatically put within quotation marks, unless `\|rprev=` is used.
next	The title of the next episode. If an article or redirect exist, link to it. If one does not exist, consider creating a redirect to the episode anchor in the season article. If a redirect isn't created directly link to the season article with an anchor to that episode. If this is the last episode of the TV series, leave blank. The title is automatically put within quotation marks, unless `\|rnext=` is used.
opening_caption	The opening caption for the episode, seen at the very beginning of the opening sequence.
opening_cartoon	The cartoon seen on the billboard near the end of the opening sequence.
