Unknown parameter tracking added edit
I have added tracking of unknown parameters to this infobox template. It is a feature of hundreds of infoboxes, and it can help find problems like |couch gag=
(invalid, so the gag text won't display). Please see Category:Pages using infobox Simpsons episode with unknown parameters.
I have noticed that |focus=
is used in many articles' infoboxes, but it is not a documented parameter. It should either be added to the template or removed from those infoboxes. It does not currently display. – Jonesey95 (talk) 04:01, 9 October 2018 (UTC)
- If you really want to do work on this template, it should be made to use Template:Infobox television episode as Template:Infobox Futurama episode does. That way it can be both better maintained, and gain the benefits of code improvements being done to the base template. --Gonnym (talk) 07:47, 9 October 2018 (UTC)
Short description template edit
WP:SHORTDESC for more information.
<includeonly>{{Television episode short description|episode_n={{{episode|}}}|season_num={{{season|}}}|series_name=The Simpsons|multi_episodes={{{multi_episodes|}}}|not_dab={{{not_dab|}}}}}</includeonly>
I'll need help sorting two things out:
- There's a single two-parter in the series, spread between two seasons. We can either mess with the code for this one exception or just override the default description.
- Each template will need to add the episode number within the season, not just in the show as a whole.

- I think for the episode you mentioned, overriding might be the better option, if it is indeed a unique single-use case. However, this infobox should probably have its day in TfD to see what the consensus is, as this is the only episode infobox that doesn't use {{Infobox television episode}}. --Gonnym (talk) 08:04, 20 February 2019 (UTC)
- There's Wikipedia:Templates for discussion/Log/2019 February 20#Template:Infobox Simpsons episode, for one. Overriding it would be the best option anyway. -BRAINULATOR9 (TALK) 15:38, 20 February 2019 (UTC)
- @Brainulator9: short descriptions are now automatically added to The Simpsons episodes. --Gonnym (talk) 11:29, 5 April 2019 (UTC)
