Infobox Documentary/doc is a template that can be used for any documentary, whether audio or video, broadcast or DVD special feature. Because it is a multi-media template, no single page will use all the variables the template enables. Please use the template to include information primarily about the original public form of the documentary. However, if a documentary once available elsewhere has since been repurposed for a home audio or video release, the infobox does allow you to list details about the secondary (and in most cases, more well-known) home for the documentary.

Auto-linking variables

Note that many of this template's variables are fully self-linking. Thus, to indicate that Alex Price was the narrator of an episode, you would enter simply:

narrator=Alex Price

not

narrator=[[Alex Price]]

The variables which do not currently self link include the broadcast and release date variables. These dates must be entered as:

broadcast date=[[12th May]] [[2006]]

Also, the narrator, interviewer and interviewee variables are non-linking to allow for the entry of more than one person. Likewise, the subject variable is free-form.

Usage

Copy and paste all of the text below onto whichever article page it is needed for (even if some fields are not needed, copy all of the text).

{{Infobox Doc
|image           =
|subject         =
|name            =
|series          =
|original to DVD =
|original to VHS =
|original to CD  =
|original to web =
|channel         =
|broadcast with  =
|home video      =
|home audio      =
|narrator        =
|interviewer     =
|interviewee     =
|uncredited narrator =
|director        =
|producer        =
|broadcast date  =
|release date    =
|runtime         =
|previous        =
|next            =
}}

The sample output at right gives a description of what each of the fields are for. Due to the auto-linking nature of the template, some of the text may be slightly obscured by stray coding elements.
