Miniseries	No. in series	No. in camp.	No. in chapter	Title	Optional 1	Optional 2	Session date
Exandria Unlimited	X	X	X	"Episode Title"	Optional 1	Optional 2	TBA
Summary.

Parameters

1: Article that the episode list, not this template, will being transcluded onto. Vast majority of editors will not have to worry about this, so feel free to delete that pipe. List of episodes does not need to be inserted into this parameter as the template already looks for it. This is for transclusion onto a second article. This value is case sensitive.
miniseries: Name of the miniseries. This will typically be only used when multiple miniseries are being included in a single listing, such as at the Miniseries article. Values are not case sensitive, and they can be wikilinked as normal. Valid values are:
- UnDeadwood produces UnDeadwood.
- EXU and Exandria Unlimited produces Exandria Unlimited.
no: Episode number. This is a required value. When used in conjunction with other episode number columns, this is the overall episode number. Numerical and alphanumerical values are accepted. Depending on what other number columns are included, the name of this column changes, please see {{Episode table header}} for exactly how. It is also illustrated in the Examples section.
campaignno: Number in campaign.
chapterno or seasonno: Number in chapter or season. These parameters are named different, but function the same. Choose one or the other but not both.
ep: Episode title. This is a required value. The {{ep}} template is a valid value. If not using that template, please remember to enclose the title in double quotations, "Title".
aux1: Optional column for miscellaneous use. Named by editor in {{Episode table header}}.
aux2: Optional column for miscellaneous use. Named by editor in {{Episode table header}}.
airdate: Original air date. If empty, it will automatically display TBA instead. Use ISO 8601, i.e. YYYY-MM-DD
- Please note that when you preview or look at the page, it may appear in a date format different from what you input. This is because the template will convert to display the date based on what you set in your preferences. It will display the date in ISO 8601 to logged out users.
- It cannot do this if the date is input as YY-MM-DD, MM-DD-YYYY, or DD-MM-YYYY because these are unclear. Absolutely do NOT use these date formats as they are ambiguous.
VOD: Link to VOD. The input must be a raw URL, i.e. not enclosed by [single braces]. If there is no link to the VOD yet, leave blank. It will automatically display Forthcoming instead.
runtime: Length of the episode. If there is no runtime yet, leave blank. It will automatically display Forthcoming instead.
summary: Summary of the episode.
color: Optional line color that styles the border underneath the episode. To style the line above the first episode, it is done inside {{Episode table header}}. I personally recommend choosing a color that is strongly present in the show's logo or title card. It only accepts values as hexcodes, which must be input excluding the preceding #. You can find color hex codes at https://htmlcolors.com/ or similar websites. If no color is specified, it defaults to black. If you wish to have no border underneath each episode, you can input anything that is not a hex code, like "none", and it will turn off the bottom border.

Troubleshooting

It's all showing as a bunch of text instead of a table. Make sure you closed {{Episode table header}}, i.e. put }} after all your episode entries.
The number of columns aren't matching in the table header and the table body. Make sure you turned on the desired columns in the header template. Check {{Episode table header}} for further information on how to do so.
Number in chapter / season column shows is combining two input values. This is likely because you are using both |chapterno= and |seasonno= at the same time. Choose one or the other. Both values will go into the same column.
The summary has an extra line break at the bottom that isn't in the summary field. You cannot put a line break between {{Episode table entry}} templates. The closing brace of one must be on a consecutive or same line as the next. See the Examples section for illustration.
