== Usage ==
The purpose of this template is to easily add a series overview table (as per [[WP:TVOVERVIEW]]) for television series' that require it, in either a simple format (i.e. just episodes and dates) or with extra information (e.g. networks, ratings, etc).

== Syntax and examples ==
=== Basic example ===

=== Series/Season & "dd mmm yyyy" dates ===
The top-left cell displays either Series or Season, determined if the {{para|df}} parameter of the first {{tl|Start date}} template is set. If it is included (<code>|df=y</code>), the cell will display Series, otherwise the cell will display Season. This can be overridden by setting either {{para|seriesT}} or {{para|seasonT}} to custom text.

! colspan="3" | Parameter
! Description
! Type
! style="width:15%" | Status
|-
! colspan=2 | Caption
| caption
| An appropriate caption for the table, normally something like "Series overview". Required for proper accessibility. When a caption is not required on the page where the table is located, but is on a page where the table is transcluded, the caption may be wrapped in <nowiki><includeonly></nowiki> and <nowiki></includeonly></nowiki>.
| Text
| Required
|-
! rowspan=6 | Header titles
! Season/Series
| seasonT
| Set to change custom text in the cell where Series/Season is typically displayed.<br />''Format:'' Series<br />''Alternate:'' seriesT
| Text
| Optional
|-
! Info sub-headers
| info{A-Z}
| The sub-headers of the extra information (e.g. Viewers (in millions)) for the series in question. 26 columns are available for extra information (labelled infoA ... infoZ). When used in multi-series franchise overviews, set the value to the column titles in the initial declaration of the template, and set to "y" in each of the separate series overviews to still include the info cells.<br />''Format:'' Viewers (in millions)
| Text
| Optional
|-
! Auxiliary
| aux{A-Z}
| The titles of the auxiliary columns. 26 columns are available for auxiliary columns (labelled auxA ... auxZ).<br />''Format:'' Title
| Text
| Optional
|-
! Country
| country
| Add a country to the "Originally aired/released" header cell.<br />''Format:'' U.S.
| Text
| Optional
|-
! Network
| network
| The network that multiple seasons have aired under, if a series has aired on two or more networks. Only use as a header title in multi-series franchises, in the initial declaration of the template, not the season-specific networks and set to "y" in this case.
| Text
| Optional
|-
! Transclusion display
| *_transclude
| Gives the option to toggle the display of certain columns (network and info columns are the only ones supported so far) when tranclcuding the overview. This parameter takes one of two values: 1) "onlyinclude", so the column is only included in the table when transcluded (i.e. not shown on the origin page), or 2) "noinclude", so the column is only included in the table on the origin page (i.e. not shown on the transcluding page). For the template to determine what the original article is, the original article title must be included as the first unnamed parameter (e.g. as {{tlx|Series overview|PAGE NAME}} or {{tlx|Series overview|2=1=PAGE NAME}}).
| Text
| Optional
|-
! rowspan=3 | Franchises
! Multiple series
| multiseries
| The individual series overviews that make up a multi-series franchise table. Use in the first series overview that declares the headers. The parameter value should be the separate series overviews. Set to "y" when "dontclose" is declared.
| Series overviews
| Optional
|-
! Series
| series
| The linked, italicized title of the series when used in a multi-series franchise. Use in each separate series overview.
| Link
| Required when multiseries is set
|-
! Don't Close
| dontclose
| Set this parameter to "y" to be able to close the initial wikicode declaration of the multi-series franchise header overview, but to be able to continue displaying the separate series and rows after the header but outside of the initial declaration. Particularly useful for when the individual rows have to be transcluded outside of the article and thus must be outside of a template. To close the initial declaration, <code><nowiki></table></nowiki></code> must be used.
| Text
| Optional
|- style="background-color:#D0FFD0"
! rowspan=10 style="background-color:#D0D0FF" | Season specifics
! Color
| color*
| The color of the season table for the season in question.<br />''Format:'' black / #000000

| Text
| Required
|-

| Alternate text to display in the season link rather than the season number.<br />''Format:'' Special
| Text

| Text
| Optional
|- style="background-color:#D0FFD0"
! Episodes
| episodes*
| The number of episodes in the season in question.<br />Set to "hide" for split seasons to hide the total episode count and use only the split episode counts. This is particular useful for when the episodes don't combine together; for example, a pilot episode then a full season. Setting to "hide" for regular seasons has no effect.<br />''Format:'' 22<br />''Exclusion:'' {{tlx|N/A|TBA}}
| Number / Text
| Optional
|- style="background-color:#FFFFBB"
! Start date
| start*
| The start date of the season in question. This parameter is required for the row of the overview to appear; without a date but with the inclusion of any other parameter, the row will not display. To display a row without a start date, use {{tlx|N/A|TBA}}.<br />''Format:'' {{tlx|Start date|2015|3|17}}<br />''Exclusion:'' {{tlx|N/A|TBA}}
| Date
| Required
|- style="background-color:#FFFFBB"
! End date
| end*

| Date/Text
| Optional
|- style="background-color:#D0FFD0"
! Network

| Text
| Optional
|- style="background-color:#D0FFD0"
! Info
| info{A-Z}*
| The values of the extra information (e.g. Ratings) for the season in question.<br />''Note:'' Information cell parameters will be automatically set to {{tlx|N/A|TBA}} if set for a previous season (e.g. info1A) but not included for the current season (e.g. info2A) in regular series overviews. Information cells will automatically span over empty rows in multi-series franchise series overviews if set for a previous season but not included for the current season; they cannot, however, span between separate series-specific overviews, meaning information may be repeated (e.g. a "Released" status for multiple series that have been released).<br />''Format:'' 28
| Text
| Optional
|-
! rowspan=2 | Release
! Released
| released
| Determines whether the television series in question was released online or aired. Changes "Originally/First/Last aired" to "Originally/First/Last released".<br />''Format:'' y
