Template talk:Infobox Simpsons episode

Unknown parameter tracking added
I have added tracking of unknown parameters to this infobox template. It is a feature of hundreds of infoboxes, and it can help find problems like couch gag (invalid, so the gag text won't display). Please see.

I have noticed that focus is used in many articles' infoboxes, but it is not a documented parameter. It should either be added to the template or removed from those infoboxes. It does not currently display. – Jonesey95 (talk) 04:01, 9 October 2018 (UTC)


 * If you really want to do work on this template, it should be made to use Template:Infobox television episode as Template:Infobox Futurama episode does. That way it can be both better maintained, and gain the benefits of code improvements being done to the base template. --Gonnym (talk) 07:47, 9 October 2018 (UTC)
 * The Futurama template uses a very strange hack to insert table rows with HTML in order to use custom parameters. I'm not going to maintain that kind of code. I'll leave it for someone else. – Jonesey95 (talk) 12:20, 9 October 2018 (UTC)

Short description template
WP:SHORTDESC for more information.

I'll need help sorting two things out:


 * There's a single two-parter in the series, spread between two seasons. We can either mess with the code for this one exception or just override the default description.
 * Each template will need to add the episode number within the season, not just in the show as a whole.

 * I think for the episode you mentioned, overriding might be the better option, if it is indeed a unique single-use case. However, this infobox should probably have its day in TfD to see what the consensus is, as this is the only episode infobox that doesn't use Infobox television episode. --Gonnym (talk) 08:04, 20 February 2019 (UTC)
 * There's Templates for discussion/Log/2019 February 20, for one. Overriding it would be the best option anyway. -BRAINULATOR9 (TALK) 15:38, 20 February 2019 (UTC)
 * short descriptions are now automatically added to The Simpsons episodes. --Gonnym (talk) 11:29, 5 April 2019 (UTC)
 * I saw that, thank you for letting me know! -BRAINULATOR9 (TALK) 12:14, 5 April 2019 (UTC)
