Template:Cite episode

""

This template is for citing episodes of television series. The only required field is title.

Fields:
 * title - the title of the episode being cited.
 * episodelink - the title of a Wikipedia article about this episode. Don't link this yourself, it will be linked by the template. Remember that you can use section names here if the only relevant material in Wikipedia is a section of a larger article such as an episode list.
 * series - the name of the series the episode belongs to.
 * serieslink - the title of a Wikipedia article about the series. As with episodelink, don't link this yourself.
 * season - the number of the season this episode belongs to.
 * number - the number of the episode. Some series incorporate the season into the episode number, for example the third episode of the fifth season would be given number 503. It is preferable to split out the season number into its own field where possible to make formatting more flexible.
 * airdate - an ISO date of the format YYYY-MM-DD for the day this episode first aired. Will be made into a link. The year can also be used on its own (YYYY).
 * minutes - for citing a specific event within the episode. This is roughly analogous to a page number for a book, for example. Ideally this time will be from some "canonical" version of the episode without commercials and such, perhaps from a DVD if possible.
 * writers - the scriptwriter(s).
