Infobox Event/doc is a template that can be used for any real world event. It works very similarly to {{Infobox Doc}}.

For in-universe conflicts, please use {{Infobox Conflict}}.

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

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:

interviewee = [[David Tennant]], [[Catherine Tate]], [[Russell T Davies]]

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.

Usage

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

|next2               = 
|series3             = 
|prev3               = 
|next3               = 
}}

The sample output at right gives a description of what each of the fields are for. Due to the auto-linking nature of the template, some of the text may be slightly obscured by stray coding elements.

Navigation

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:

|nav                   = 0

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 prev = none. Likewise, the last item in a series should have next = none.
