Template:TCWcanondates

Description
This template is designed to help users properly cite canon dating for material from the Star Wars: The Clone Wars television series. It covers:
 * The theatrical film
 * Some (but not all) of the 121 televised episodes of the series (Seasons One through Six)
 * The 8 Story Reel episodes released as part of The Clone Wars Legacy multimedia project
 * All 4 issues of Star Wars: Darth Maul—Son of Dathomir

Note that this template will not work for all 121 televised episodes of the series, since information is not available for the canon dates of some episodes. Jump to the section to see which episodes will not work with the template.

To ensure that the site's articles stay up-to-date with canon sources, this template will be periodically updated as new information is released.

Usage
Use the following code, making sure that it is properly formatted as a reference note. For the 121 televised episodes, "EPISODE NUMBER" should be a three-digit number, the first digit being the season number and the other two digits being the individual episode number, e.g. 105 for "Rookies" (Season 1, Episode 5).

The table below lists the usage codes for material other than the 121 televised episodes.

Errors
The template will not work for episodes that do not have canon dating information available. Currently, those episodes are:
 * 301, 303
 * 101–115, 117–121
 * 201–203, 217–219, 204–214, 220–222
 * 305–307, 302, 304, 308, 122, 309
 * Dark Disciple dates itself to late in the third year of the Clone Wars, so it is unnecessary to use this template to cite the novel's date.

Any pages that do not use the template correctly (including for the undated episodes, as mentioned previously) will be placed into Category:Pages with bad parameters in Template:TCWcanondates.
