Forum:Editing the Episode Infobox

How can I change the infobox so that, for example, instead of "Airdate" it says "Original Broadcast"? Also, I'd like to change the Seeason/Epiosde line so that it is in two columns, with Season and Episode as headings and the figures underneath. If I could have a line dividing the columns, and also one underneath before the 'Airdate' line, even better.

Any help gratefully recieved TellyFan 11:39, July 10, 2010 (UTC)

I'm no expert with infoboxes. But basically, you need to go the template (should be Template:Infobox episode or something similar, you can probably search for it). From there it's set up much like a table. Changing airdate to orginal broadcast wouldn't be a problem, the rest of it could be done, but it might be a bit of work. You might want to give your wiki/find link to infobox, then maybe someone who knows a bit more about this can help you out. 13:35, July 10, 2010 (UTC)
 * You could have a look at Help:Infobox.  Manyman  (Talk)  13:44, July 10, 2010 (UTC)
 * I was about to write that I was still stuck but I've just realised I've been put of by the 'Visit Template:Infobox episode/doc to edit this text!' text and haven't actually been clicking on the 'edit this page' link! Doh! I knew it had to be there somewhere! I may want help with my box thing I was talking about but I shalln't worry about that for now!TellyFan 10:06, July 11, 2010 (UTC)

Column widths
The default setting seems to be that your headings ('Writer' etc) are in a wider column than the name of the writer. I have experimented with a writer with a long name and see the right hand column gets wider to fit the name in one one line, but coud I make the default wider? Not having a heading any longer than "Original Broadcast", the current default leaves a lot of empty space in the middle of the infobox. TellyFan 02:13, July 13, 2010 (UTC)


 * That sounds strange. Please link to the template you're talking about. Unless you do, we can't know what the heck you're talking about and personally, I find this annoying. The default Template:Infobox in the starter Wikia defaults the 1st column to 30% of the width of the box and the 2nd column to 70%. So whatever infobox you're talking about has clearly been modified from the base start one or is completely custom. -- Fandyllic  (talk &middot; contr) 8:04 PM PST 12 Jul 2010
