Usage edit
The purpose of the {{Television franchise episode count}} template is to add a formatted standardized sentence detailing the series related to a specific television franchise; the template currently supports franchises of up to 15 series. This includes the total episode and season counts, the values for which the template gains through the |num_episodes= and |num_seasons= parameters in each articles use of {{Infobox television}}; or, this can be overridden and the total episode and season counts can be entered manually. The template also shortens each series' name by removing the franchise prefix.
