Infobox Con/doc is to be used on pages describing individual episodes of Doctor Who Confidential.

Auto-linking variables

Note that 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 only variable which does not currently self link is that for the broadcast date. These dates must be entered as:

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

Special note about series number variable

The series number variable is very easy to use. Simply enter

series number=1

and the template will auto link to Series 1 (Doctor Who). (It is not currently anticipated that there will ever be pages on the individual series of Confidential.) However, please note that series 4 includes everything from the episode having to do with Time Crash to the ones having to do with The End of Time (TV story). Doctor Who Confidential is a behind-the-scenes programme and therefore the production perception of series numbering should predominate over the marketing/public perception.

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).
