Differences in usage

• Links should be removed from {{{anthology}}}, {{{audio anthology}}} and {{{network}}}.
• Links should be removed from {{{writer}}}. If there are a multiple, a non-linking and comma separated list should be used. Display text for each item can be specified using {{!}} between the page name and the display text. Simple dabs are automatically removed from the display.
  • In cases such as The Book of the War where the writers field is too complex (such as with "(uncredited)" notes, references or the use of {{il}}), {{{contributors}}} should be set with the desired display text while {{{writer}}} is a simple list as described above with no bracketed notes, references or listing templates.
• {{{publisher}}}, {{{publisher2}}} and {{{publisher3}}} should be merged into just {{{publisher}}} as a comma seperated list. This also means that more then 3 publishers can be specified. Display text can be specified using {{!}} between the page name and the display text. Simple dabs are automatically removed from the display.
• If a anything that would otherwise be in a one of the 2 comma seperated list detailed above contains a comma in it's page name or display text, {{{seperator}}} should be specified as a suitable seperator (such as ";") for both of the 2 lists. The separating commas in these lists should be changed to the new specified seperator.
• Links should be removed from all date fields (such as {{{release date}}} and {{{broadcast date}}}) in accordance with the documentation found at {{Date link}}.
• If {{{range}}}, {{{series in range}}} and {{{series}}} offer no suitable series for a citation or if the series is more complicated then can be entered into any of these fields (in the case where there are multiple series, for example), {{{citation series}}} should be set as an override. This field is not displayed in the infobox.
