Forum:Minor adjustments to the TV infoboxes
Template:Forum archives header
I've been thinking for a while about updating / altering (minorly) the TV infoboxes for the classic and new series:
Classic Series Infobox
| {{{image}}} | |
| {{{story name}}} | |
| Series: | {{{series}}} |
| Season Number: | {{{number}}} |
| Story Number: | {{{story number}}} |
| Doctor: | {{{doctor}}} |
| Companions: | {{{companions}}} |
| Enemy: | {{{enemy}}} |
| Setting: | {{{year}}} |
| Writer: | {{{writer}}} |
| Director: | {{{director}}} |
| Producer: | {{{producer}}} |
| Broadcast: | {{{broadcast date}}} |
| Format: | {{{format}}} |
| Prod. Code: | {{{production code}}} |
| Previous Story: | {{{previous story}}} |
| Following Story: | {{{next story}}} |
New Series Infobox
| {{{image}}} | |
| {{{story name}}} | |
| Series: | {{{series}}} |
| Series Number: | {{{number}}} |
| Story Number: | {{{story number}}} |
| Doctor: | {{{doctor}}} |
| Companions: | {{{companions}}} |
| Enemy: | {{{enemy}}} |
| Setting: | {{{setting}}} |
| Writer: | {{{writer}}} |
| Director: | {{{director}}} |
| Producer: | {{{producer}}} |
| Broadcast: | {{{broadcast date}}} |
| Format: | {{{format}}} |
| Prod. Code: | {{{production code}}} |
| Previous Story: | {{{previous story}}} |
| Following Story: | {{{next story}}} |
What's changed and Why?
Only two things would change is in the classic series infobox Series Number becomes Season Number: and there is the addition of Story Number. For the new series infobox Series Number stays the same, with the addition of Season Number: to the infobox. Additionally for the New Series infobox setting and the responding setting text has been changed to match (to avoid future confusion).
The current infobox (Template:Infobox TV) would continue to serve the classic series (with the changes and additions, though alternatively an infobox could be created called Template:Infobox ClasicTV and slowly changed over) and a new Template:Infobox NewTV would be created to service the new series.
Why?: The 'Series Number' area in the infoboxes seems to mean different things to differnt people, depending on who has edited, some people have it as story number, others season/series. So I'm hoping this will clear everything up. --Tangerineduel 12:57, 17 February 2008 (UTC)
