=== Variables which can have multiple responses ===
In cases where more than one individual is expected by a variable, the variable is not auto-linking.  The most obvious example of this is the interviewee variable.  Almost every documentary has more than one interviewee, so this variable doesn't link. It would be entered thus:
<pre>interviewee = [[David Tennant]], [[Catherine Tate]], [[Russell T Davies]]</pre>
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.

=== Navigation ===
{{Infobox video and audio variables}}
As with {[tl|Infobox Story}}, this template allows you to set multiple points of navigation.  This could allow you to set one navigation point as"''Black Orchid'' DVD documentaries'' and another as "''Stripped for Action''" — thus giving the Fifth Doctor's edition of ''Stripped for Action'' two points of navigation. 
====What if there is no navigation?====
If the documentary is completely standalone, you'll probably want to turn navigation off entirely, which can be done by adding this line to the infobox:
<pre>
|nav                  = 0
</pre>
 
==== The next event is showing up in the previous column ====
With pages that are about the first item in a series, chances are that the "next" item is showing up in the "previous" column.  To fix this, set <code>prev = none</code>.  Likewise, the last item in a series should have <code>next = none</code>.

Infobox Event/doc is a template that can be used for real world events about the DWU, such as press gatherings and academic roundtables. It primarily focuses on the live event itself and does not anticipate any post-event broadcast.

Auto-linking variables[[edit source]]

Note that many of this template's variables are fully self-linking. Thus, to indicate that A.Dot was the host of an event, you would enter simply: 

host=A.Dot

not 

host=[[A.Dot]]

Non-linking variables[[edit source]]

There are, however, some cases where you must still put the brackets in yourself.

Dates[[edit source]]

Broadcast and release date variables do not auto-link. These dates must be entered as: 

broadcast date=[[19 March (releases)|]] [[2005 (releases)|]]


Usage[[edit source]]

Copy and paste all of the text below onto whichever article page it is needed for. Feel free to remove those that don't apply. 

{{Infobox Event
|subject             = 
|venue               = 
|interviewee         = 
|interviewee2        = 
|interviewee3        = 
|interviewee4        = 
|interviewee5        = 
|interviewee6        = 
|interviewee7        = 
|interviewee8        = 
|interviewee9        = 
|interviewee10       =

|runtime             = 
|host                = 
|host2               = 
|host3               = 
}}

The sample output at right gives a description of what each of the fields are for.

Videos and audios[[edit source]]

At Tardis, we have a fairly sophisticated system of integrating audio and video content into our infoboxes. Almost every infoboxes has the same set of variables, though the header attached to them may change depending on the infobox. For instance, the headers for {{Infobox Company}} and {{Infobox Person}} are slightly different from the rest, because these infoboxes are about the companies and crewmembers that make DWU stories. Nevertheless, the variable names remain largely the same.

Note that videos must be uploaded to this wiki locally, and that only admin can upload them. If you wish to request an upload, please do so at the video recommendation page.

Due to the fact that ogg audio doesn't play on iOS devices, some OS X browsers, and the Fandom Doctor Who app, audios must be from Soundcloud -- and Soundcloud only.

Though there are a few exceptions, most of the following variables are available for your use in every infobox. 

|trailer            = usually entitled "Official trailer"
|trailer2           = usually, "Another official trailer"
|clip               = "Memorable moment", but can be value of {{{clip name}}}
|clip2              = "Another memorable moment", but can be {{{clip name2}}}
|clip3              = "One more memorable moment", but can be {{{clip name3}}}
|fullvid            = "Full video", but can be {{{fullvid name}}}
|bts                = "Behind the scenes video", but can be {{{bts name}}}
|bts2               = "More behind the scenes stuff", but can be {{{bts2 name}}}
|bts3               = "Another behind the scenes moment", but can be {{{bts3 name}}}
|soundcloudtrailer  = usually, "Official audio trailer"
|soundcloudtrailer2 = usually, "Another official audio trailer"
|musicsuite         = "Music suite"
|sample             = "Music sample"
|soundcloudbts      = "Behind the scenes interview"
|audio commentary   = "Audio commentary"
|fullaud            = "Full audio"
|leitmotif          = "Leitmotif"

You can use the following blanked-out version to copy and paste onto a page, if the above instructions for this specific infobox don't already contain this bit. 

|trailer            = 
|trailer2           = 
|clip               = 
|clip2              = 
|clip3              = 
|fullvid            = 
|bts                = 
|bts2               = 
|bts3               = 
|soundcloudtrailer  = 
|soundcloudtrailer2 = 
|musicsuite         = 
|sample             = 
|soundcloudbts      = 
|audio commentary   = 
|fullaud            = 
|leitmotif          =
