{{Lua|Module:Series overview}}
{{TOC limit|3}}
{{tlb|Series overview}} easily creates a series overview table (as per WP:TVOVERVIEW) for television series' that require it, in either a simple format (i.e. just episodes and dates) or with extra information (e.g. networks, ratings, etc).
When a "Series overview" header is not present in the article, set {{para|id|y}} to set the table's HTML ID to "Series overview" so it can be directly linked to via #Series overview.
For pages using a manually created table, either convert them to use this template, or tag them with {{tl|Convert to Series overview}}, which will place the pages in {{clc|Articles lacking a Series overview template}}.

. This can be overridden by setting either {{para|seriesT}} or {{para|seasonT}} to custom text.

The following is an example of an alternate franchise overview table, where the entries per row are condensed by series rather than season; if a separate "List of [franchise] television series" article exists, these are typically used in the parent franchise article, with the more-detailed above example used in the list article.

{{sticky header}}
class="wikitable sticky-header"
|+ Template parameters ! colspan="3" | Parameter ! Description ! Type ! style="width:15%" | Status |
colspan="2" | Caption
| caption | An appropriate caption for the table, normally something like "Series overview", which uses {{tl|Screen reader-only}} to not be displayed in a browser but be voiced by a screen reader for accessibility. Required for proper accessibility. When a caption is not required on the page where the table is located, but is on a page where the table is transcluded, the caption may be wrapped in {{tag|includeonly}}. | Text | Required |
---|
colspan="2" | HTML ID
| id | When a "Series overview" header is not present in the article, set {{para|id|y}} to set the table's HTML ID to "Series overview" so it can be directly linked to via #Series overview. | Text | Optional |
rowspan="8" | Header titles
! Season/Series | seasonT | {{plainlist|
}} | Text | Optional |
Info sub-headers
| info{A-Z} | {{plainlist|
}} | Text | Optional |
rowspan="2" | Auxiliary

}} | rowspan="2" | Text | rowspan="2" | Optional |
postaux{A-Z} |
Country
| country | {{plainlist|
}} | Text | Optional |
Network
| network | The network that multiple seasons have been released by, if a series has been released on two or more networks. Only use as a header title in multi-series franchises, in the initial declaration of the template, not the season-specific networks and set to "y" in this case. | Text | Optional |
rowspan="2" | Transclusion display
| info{A-Z}_transclude | rowspan="2" | Gives the option to toggle the display of certain columns (network and info columns are the only ones supported so far) when transcluding the overview. This parameter takes one of two values: 1) "onlyinclude", so the column is only included in the table when transcluded (i.e. not shown on the origin page), or 2) "noinclude", so the column is only included in the table on the origin page (i.e. not shown on the transcluding page). For the template to determine what the original article is, the original article title must be included as the first unnamed parameter (e.g. as {{tlx|Series overview|PAGE NAME}} or {{tlx|Series overview|2=1=PAGE NAME}}). | rowspan="2" | Text | rowspan="2" | Optional |
network_transclude |
rowspan="3" | Franchises
! Multiple series | multiseries | The individual series overviews that make up a multi-series franchise table. Use in the first series overview that declares the headers. The parameter value should be the separate series overviews. Set to "y" when "dontclose" is declared. | Series overviews | Optional |
Series
| series | The linked, italicized title of the series when used in a multi-series franchise. Use in each separate series overview. | Link | Required when multiseries is set |
Don't Close
| dontclose | Set this parameter to "y" to be able to close the initial wikicode declaration of the multi-series franchise header overview, but to be able to continue displaying the separate series and rows after the header but outside of the initial declaration. Particularly useful for when the individual rows have to be transcluded outside of the article and thus must be outside of a template. To close the initial declaration, {{tl|Series overview/end}} must be used. {{tl|End}} is deprecated due to lint errors. | Text | Optional |
