Template talk:Television critical response

Colours

I thought I'd post my edit summary here as well, in case there's a disagreement and discussion should ensure. Colours aren't needed in Template:Television critical response, thus matching the format of Template:Television season ratings; Template:Series overview, of which this is a fork, uses colours to match with Template:Episode table. -- /Alex/₂₁ 02:08, 14 September 2020 (UTC)

Sorry, but you didn't provide a justification as to why colors shouldn't be included? Having consistent colors across an article for each season of a show helps with navigability. I believe colors should certainly be an option in this template. Rmaloney3 (talk) 16:44, 15 October 2021 (UTC)

Over a year later, and I certainly did; read above. How are colours going to help you understand Rotten Tomatoes and Metacritic scores? Or would they solely be for display purposes? -- /Alex/₂₁ 22:29, 15 October 2021 (UTC)

Caption

@Alex 21: I was looking at the documentation, and it appears you can override the default caption with |title=, but I don't see in the Lua code a |caption= to set as desired, or a |show_caption= flag to make it visible. Can these be added in? (For context, I want to use table headers for the critical response tables at Marvel Cinematic Universe: Phase Four for both this and the film one over section headers.) - Favre1fan93 (talk) 14:15, 12 July 2021 (UTC)

@Alex 21: giving you another ping Alex in case you missed the first one. - Favre1fan93 (talk) 14:06, 22 July 2021 (UTC)

Sorry, somehow completely missed it! I'll take a look into it for you, shouldn't be hard at all. -- /Alex/₂₁ 14:14, 22 July 2021 (UTC)

No worries, thank you! - Favre1fan93 (talk) 14:27, 22 July 2021 (UTC)

 Done You can now set your own |caption= as desired, as well as the inclusion of the |show_caption= flag. -- /Alex/₂₁ 04:22, 24 July 2021 (UTC)

@Alex 21: Looks good! Thanks so much! - Favre1fan93 (talk) 15:11, 24 July 2021 (UTC)

One row category not working

Hey, seems a category exists and mentioned in the module, Category:Articles using Template:Television critical response with only one row (1), for articles that only have one row. That's currently empty but André the Giant (film) is using a redirect of this template with one row so think should appear in that category so think category isn't working, can someone have a look please?

 Done at Wikipedia:Village pump (technical)#Template query, add to category based on blank parameters Indagate (talk) 10:54, 10 May 2022 (UTC)

No reference

Hey, is it possible to add page to a category or generate error if this template is used without a reference in a non-empty cell, i.e. does it contain "ref", to avoid unsourced content? Indagate (talk) 14:23, 7 May 2022 (UTC)

Simply tag the content with {{cn}} if it's unsourced? -- Alex_21 _TALK 14:27, 7 May 2022 (UTC)

Can do but thought category or error could help find the unsourced content instead of manually looking and tagging otherwise it could go unnoticed

An example is Brooklyn Nine-Nine#Critical response which has unsourced table since 14 October 2019 (https://en.wikipedia.org/w/index.php?title=Brooklyn_Nine-Nine&oldid=921121236), more likely to have been tagged or sourced if category or error Indagate (talk) 14:37, 7 May 2022 (UTC)

N/A

Does anyone know why {{N/A}} is rendering in this template as a normal blank cell rather than the grey cell with an em dash that it normally renders as? - adamstom97 (talk) 18:30, 5 January 2026 (UTC)

Pinging @Rjjiii - this is a continuation of Template talk:Table cell templates#Proposed update to Template:n/a. -- Alex_21 _TALK 22:51, 5 January 2026 (UTC)
