If I typed {{tlx|job table}} on the page [[3D artist]], it will automatically generate a table which was formatted like the rest of our infoboxes and tables. On the list would be all the 3D artists who had '''been credited on''' any episode of any television show that this wiki covers. | If I typed {{tlx|job table}} on the page [[3D artist]], it will automatically generate a table which was formatted like the rest of our infoboxes and tables.

The list '''always''' appears in a collapsed state — a condition which '''cannot''' be changed by using this template. Also the list is organised in alphabetical order of '''the title of the story''', but it respects {{tlx|TitleSort}}. This means that {{w|article (grammar)|}}s at the beginning of titles are not considered during alphabetisation. | The list '''always''' appears in a collapsed state — a condition which '''cannot''' be changed by using this template.

Maybe the name of the page you're working on is [[visual effects producer]] but the property is [[Property:VFX producer]]. In this case, you'll have to make a slight modification: {{tlx|job table|job1=VFX producer}}. This ability to change the property name comes in handy when you want to drop on of these tables onto a completely different page, as was done above with the table of writers. | Maybe the name of the page you're working on is [[visual effects producer]] but the property is [[Property:VFX producer]].

For some of the more ubiquitous titles, like [[writer]], you'll probably want to break the table down into smaller tables — logically, one for each show. Or maybe you're working on a series page where you want to show only the writers for that particular series. In these cases you'll want to narrow the category down. For instance, {{tlx|job table|job1=DOP|cat=Series 5 (Doctor Who) stories}} will show you all the [[DOP|directors of photography]] for series 5. | For some of the more ubiquitous titles, like [[writer]], you'll probably want to break the table down into smaller tables — logically, one for each show.
