Description[edit source]

To use this template, add the {{Season}} template and fill in the appropriate fields. If a field's information is yet unknown, you can either fill it in with TBD or delete the equals sign. (Leaving in the equals sign causes it to treat the value as present but null, because Wikimedia syntax is very picky. Yes, this is different from how PortableInfoboxes does it. No, we haven't figured out how to change that yet.)

In addition to a nicely-formatted data table, this template autocats seasons to Category:Seasons, the relevant series subcategory, and categories for the runner and host.

The "type" parameter defaults to "Reboot", as this is the current series as of this template's creation. However, it is still recommended to explicitly specify this.

The optional "prev" and "next" parameters should only be used if the previous or next seasons do not follow expected patterns (different type, non-consecutive numbers, etc).

The optional "cohost" and "bhost" parameters specify cohosts and secondary hosts, if applicable.

The optional "subtitle" parameter specifies a subtitle, such as (Battle Royale) or (Ghost Season), as well as autocat'ing it into Category:Themed Seasons. Certain special recurring seasons such as Battle Royales are also autocat'd into a subcategory for their theme.
