Category:Pages using infobox television with nonstandard dates

Administrators: Please do not delete this category even if it is empty! This category may be empty occasionally or even most of the time.

This is a maintenance category, used for maintenance of the Wikipedia project. It is not part of the encyclopedia and contains non-article pages, or groups articles by status rather than subject. Do not include this category in content categories. This is a tracking category. It builds and maintains a list of pages primarily for the sake of the list itself. They are not part of the encyclopedia's categorization scheme. This category is hidden on its member pages—unless the corresponding user preference (appearance → show hidden categories) is set. These categories can be used to track, build and organize lists of pages needing "attention en masse" (for example, pages using deprecated syntax), or that may need to be edited at someone's earliest convenience. These categories also serve to aggregate members of several lists or sub-categories into a larger, more efficient list (discriminated by classifications).

Articles that use {{Infobox television}}, {{Infobox television season}}, {{Infobox television episode}} or {{Infobox television crossover episode}} and satisfy one of the following conditions will cause the page to be added to this category:

• Use |first_aired= or |released= without {{Start date}}.
• Use |last_aired= without {{End date}} or not |last_aired=present, where relevant.
• Use both |first_aired= and |released= or |last_aired= and |released=. |released= should be used alone.
• Misuse one of the date parameters to denote a split in the date range, such as between an original run of the series and a revival run. Instead use the additional network and date parameters: |network2=, |network3=, |first_aired2=, |first_aired2=, |last_aired2=, |last_aired3=, |released2=, and |released3=. Valid numbers are up to |para6=.
• Use more than one date per parameter. Use the secondary date fields if needed or remove if used incorrectly.

Note: Only {{Start date}} and {{End date}} are valid to use with this template. Any other date template will place the page in this error category.

The validation logic is handled by Module:Infobox/dates. User:ProcBot has an approved task to correct pages in this category.
