Template:Offsetep/doc

is a meta template designed for use by episode navigation templates to make the creation of episode links easier.

As of this writing it has yet to be implemented anywhere.

requires the existence of a template named "Episodes-[X]" where [X] is the explicit series name from Template:Utility/tvseries template. Example: Template:Episodes-Energontoon

allows for the retrieval of a relative episode link. I.e. to retrieve the 15th episode of Energon....

More importantly, it allows for the retrieval of the previous and next episodes by providing an offset. Episodes 14 and 16...

This system requires upkeep (in the creation of th episode list templates thesmelves,) but greatly cimplified the creation of episode navigation- allowing editors to set the series and current episode only, with links to the previous and last episodes being automatically retrieved.

Overriding those links will be provided for- but the mechanism for doing so waits on a test page.
