Usage

{{EpiSidebox
| series   = [[]]
| ep_name  =
| season   = [[Link series and season|season number]]
| ep_num   = [[]]  
| writer   = [[]]
| year     = [[]] 
| stardate =

What you do

When creating or editing an episode page, copy the text in box under Usage. Insert into the start of the episode page, filling out the relevant information, between the double square brackets if indicated, after the equals sign if not (ensure a space remains between the equals sign and your text). The double square brackets are creating a link.

If an image is available insert the link where indicated. At the moment I don't know how to resize images inside the box, so please upload a thumbnail that'll fit by itself.

The Chronology is split into two parts: one previous and next link for the series, and another set for the entire Traks chronology. The Series chronology will simply be the order in which the series progresses, however the Traks chronology may jump from series to series.

Here's an example: the following text is entered into the template. The box will be for the series The Incongruous Voyages, episode 1x01, titled The Incongruous Arrival by Ronan Stafford. It is set in the year 2503 and stardate 178002. As an image we shall use a sample image. As the first in series it has no previous episode: this field will be left blank (with the double square brackets removed). It is followed by the next in series, titled Out for a Smoke. In the Traks chronology however it is preceded by the Boldly Gone episode Live Long and Conquer, as worked out by the Stardate, followed by the same series episode Out for a Smoke.

The template would look as follows:

{{EpiSidebox
| series   = [[The Incongruous Voyages]]
| ep_name  = The Incongruous Arrival
| season   = [[IV Season One|1]]
| ep_num   = [[1]]  
| writer   = [[Ronan Stafford]]
| year     = [[2503]] 
| stardate = 178002
| image    = http://www.star-traks.com/wiki/images/a/ad/Sampleimage.jpg
| prevse   = 
| nextse   = [[Out for a Smoke]]
| prevti   = [[Live Long and Conquer]]
| nextti   = [[Out for a Smoke]]
}}

That is all you need!
