User:AlexTheWhovian/script-seriesoverview
User:AlexTheWhovian/script-seriesoverview.js is a script that transforms a tabular series overview for television series to the templated version {{Series overview}}.
Installation
To install the script, add:
importScript('User:AlexTheWhovian/script-functions.js');
importScript('User:AlexTheWhovian/script-seriesoverview.js');
User:AlexTheWhovian/script-functions.js is required to include multiple shared functions, many of which are used identically in a few of my other scripts - you only need to include it in Special:MyPage/common.js once.
There will be a "Series overview" link in the toolbox on the left on every article. This script assumes that the first table on an television series' episodes page is the series overview - if it is not, and another table appears before the overview, then manually add the attribute id="seriesoverview" to the series overview table via the Inspect Element feature of your browser. This will override the first-table assumption.
Click the "Series overview" link to convert the tabular overview to the template, which will be saved in your clipboard - you will be directed to the edit page. Once in edit mode, pasted the copied series overview where it belongs, manually replacing references as you do so. Save the page.
