Template parameters[Edit template data]

Parameter		Description	Type	Status
Title	Title	The title of the television series in the table's caption, defaults to the page name. Set this parameter (in plain text) to change the series' title if it should not be the page name. Using the title parameter is redundent if the caption parameter is used.	String	optional
seasonT	seasonT	Set to change custom text in the cell where Series/Season is typically displayed.	String	optional
multiseries	multiseries	The individual critical response tables that make up a multi-series franchise critical response table. Use in the first critical response table that declares the headers. The parameter value should be the separate critical response tables.	String	optional
series	series	The linked, italicized title of the series when used in a multi-series franchise. Use in each separate critical response table. Required when multiseries is set.	Unknown	optional
caption	caption	Setting a custom caption to override the automatic caption provided by the |title= parameter and/or article title.	String	optional
show_caption	show_caption	The caption uses {{tc|Screen reader-only}} by default to not be displayed in a browser but be voiced by a screen reader; toggling this flag will display the caption as visible text.	String	optional
