Parameters

A number of unique parameters have been implemented which adjust the formatting of the title section. Adjustment of these parameters allow for near-perfect replication of Stranger Things's episode title cards.

The other parameters are used to add information about the relevant episode, such as the episode/chapter number, the premiere date, etc.

Title parameters

Parameter Description and usage
"title" Should be used for the episode title.
  • Do not include the chapter number in the title; adding the chapter number to "episodeNumber" will append the spelled-out version of number above the title.
  • The title is automatically capitalised.
"titleScale"
(optional)
Adjusts the size of the title's text.
  • e.g. typing "80" will adjust the text to be 80% of the default size.
  • "titleScale" also adjusts the size of the chapter number text, as long as "chapterScale" is not used.
"chapterScale"
(optional)
Adjusts the size of the chapter number text.
  • e.g. typing "80" will adjust the text to be 80% of the default size.
"lineLength" & lineWidth"
(optional)
Adjusts the length and width of the line beneath the chapter number.
  • By default, the length is set to 128px, and the width is 1.4px.
"paddingAmount"
(optional)
Adjusts the spacing between the text and the line.
  • There are currently three pre-determined options to choose from: '1', '2' or '3'. By default, the amount of padding is set equivalent to '3'. '1' is best used in cases where "titleScale" has been reduced to less than 100.

Info parameters

Parameter Description and usage
"image" This parameter is used for adding images to the infobox.
"seasonNumber" Adds the season number.
"episodeNumber" Adds the episode's "chapter" number (the episode's number within the season it comes from).
  • This parameter also adjusts formatting of the title section - e.g. if "episodeNumber" is set to '8', then "CHAPTER EIGHT" will be appended to the top of the template.
  • If "episodeNumber" is set to '1' and a value is entered into 'previousEpisode', a link to the preceding season's page will appear under the previous episode name in brackets (the previous season's finale).
"overallNumber" Adds the episode's overall series number (the episode's number within the entirety of the series).
"finale" If set to 'true', a link to the following season's page will be added to the display of 'nextEpisode'.
"premiere" Adds the episode's premiere date.
"time" Adds the episode's runtime/length.
"writer" Adds the episode's writer.
"director" Adds the episode's director.
"previousEpisode" Adds the previous episode.

"previousEpisodeDisplay" Alters the appearance of the link to the previous episode's page.
"nextEpisodeDisplay" Alters the appearance of the link to the following episode's page.
