You may be looking for the way to use this template with Confidential episodes.

{{Infobox Documentary}}, or {{Infobox 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]]

If you look in the sample infobox to your right, all the variables whose values are in red are auto-linking variables. All the ones in black require you to manually type in the [[brackets]] yourself.

Non-linking variables

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

Dates

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

broadcast date=[[12 May (releases)|]] [[2006 (releases)|]]

Video and Audio

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.
