Template:UnairedEpisodeFooter

The UnairedEpisodeFooter template will automatically generate navigation tags for an unaired episode page, including links to the message board, the Wiki pages for the previous and next episodes, and the Category:Episodes tag. For episodes which have already aired, use the Template:EpisodeFooter template.

Usage
To use this template, put the following at the bottom of the episode page:





This will result in the following being displayed:

Parameters

 * name: The name of the episode. If the template worked on our site, we wouldn't need this.
 * number: The production number of the episode. The name and number parameters are used to generate the title of the navigation box.
 * topic: The number of the episode's discussion board on the Shadow Unit forums. This can be found from the "topic" parameter of the board's URL. Do not include the ".0"; that will be added by the template. Generates a link to the message board.
 * previous: The name of the previous episode. Generates a link to that episode's Wiki page.
 * next: The name of the next episode. Generates a link to that episode's Wiki page.

After The Episode Airs
Once the episode airs, it's easy to change the Wiki page from the UnairedEpisodeFooter template to the Template:EpisodeFooter template:
 * Change the template name from "UnairedEpisodeFooter" to "EpisodeFooter"
 * Add the URL= parameter

The resulting Wikitext looks like this:
