Format & referencing for episode tables

Following up on your comment on Poirot09's talk with a few more details on referencing.

While we could use a primary source (like a press release or a trailer) for a release date, a secondary source is almost always preferable. Under The Legend of Vox Machina#Broadcast you'll see the season 3 release date was added the day of the announcement with 2 secondary sources, so I reused one of those when I fixed the table.
The television manual of style has specific guidance on these kinds of articles (including the episode sections) that you should review.
In terms of formatting, |airdateR = < ref name="IGN S3 Announcement"/> is what adds a source (listed in full elsewhere in the article) to the airdate column. At the moment, this format works because in this case one source is good for the entire column. If you want to learn more about these tables, check out Template:Episode table.
Any unaired episode/season (ie. WP:FUTURE) requires a source. Once an episode airs, typically it is considered a primary source for itself and you don't need additional sources. However, sometimes, information is challenged and that results in an episode table that has sources for each entry after it has premiered (for example, see the formatting at Candela Obscura#Episodes which has an extra column for references).
As an aside, each season should be a different color. Last season was black for the black dragon Umbrasyl so I went with red because presumably this is the Thordak (red dragon) season.

If you have questions about adding material to the article (sources, formatting, etc), you can always start a discussion at Talk:The Legend of Vox Machina or go to the Teahouse. There's a little learning curve but I hope you'll continue editing! Sariel Xilo (talk) 16:51, 11 June 2024 (UTC)[reply]
