<!-- EDIT TEMPLATE DOCUMENTATION BELOW THIS LINE -->
{{esoteric}}
This template is for citing television or radio programs and episodes. The only required field is '''title'''.
==Usage==
All fields '''must''' be lowercase. Copy a blank version to use:
<pre><nowiki>
{{cite episode
| title = *REQUIRED*
| episodelink =
| series =
| serieslink =
| credits =
| writers = *DEPRECATED* *DO NOT USE*
| network =
| station =
| city =
| airdate =
| season =
| number =
| minutes =
}}
</nowiki></pre>
==Fields==
===Wikilinks===
Most fields can be wikilinked (ie. ''network'' = <nowiki>[[network article|network name]]</nowiki>), but should generally only be linked to an existing Centiare article. Any wikilinked field '''must not''' contain any brackets apart from normal round brackets <code>()</code> — don't use <code><nowiki><>[]{}</nowiki></code>.
===Description of fields===
====<small>Syntax (for the technical-minded)</small>====
<div style="font-size: 90%;">
Nested fields either rely on their parent fields, or replace them:
*''parent''
**''child'' — may be used '''with''' ''parent'' (and is ignored if ''parent'' is not used)
**OR: ''child2'' — may be used '''instead''' of ''parent'' (and is ignored if ''parent'' is used)
</div>
====Description====
*'''title''': The title of the program or episode being cited.
**'''episodelink''': The title of a Centiare 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 Centiare 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 Centiare article about the series. As with episodelink, don't link this yourself.
*'''credits''': Writers, directors, performers, producers, etc.
*'''writers''': ''Deprecated, do not use''. The scriptwriter(s), appends after ''credits''.
*'''network''': The network the episode was aired on. (ex. ABC, NBC, CBS, Fox, Disney, USA Network)
**'''station''': Call letters of the local station (if any).
**'''city''': City of the local station (if any) or network.
*'''airdate''': Full date the program or episode aired, in [[ISO 8601]] YYYY-MM-DD format, eg. ''2004-06-27''. Must not be wikilinked.
*'''season''', '''number''': many episodic shows are identified by separate season and episode numbers. Alternately, some shows prefer the format of a single episode number that includes the season within it; this format can be used by omitting the season field.
*'''minutes''': used only when citing a specific event that happens at a particular time within the episode. Roughly analogous to page number.
