Weird behavior in director and writer column
[edit]In Late Bloomer (TV series) , the season 3 table has blank DirectedBy and WrittenBy parameters but the first 3 episode automatically display as "Unknown" for those cells while the remaining episodes display automatically as "TBA". It's weird because there doesn't seem to be any difference between the first 3 episodes and the others. All episodes have aired. Samuel Wiki (talk) 02:29, 1 June 2026 (UTC)
- If more than 4 weeks have passed since an episode airing and credits have not been added, the default value automatically changes to Unknown rather than leaving it as TBA indefinitely. Episode 4 will have the same happen as of June 5, and so on. -- Alex talk 02:44, 1 June 2026 (UTC)
- Got it. That's not documented so I'll add it to the docs. Samuel Wiki (talk) 01:02, 2 June 2026 (UTC)
False positive TBAs?
[edit]I think {{Unreported UK viewers}} is being tagged as a use of N/A by the template and then causing the article it's used in to be placed in Category:Episode lists with TBA values. Not sure what the best solution is, either exemption for Unreported UK viewers in this template, or removal of the N/A call on Unreported UK viewers, it needs fixing though because it's causing the TBA cat to swell. - X201 (talk) 08:12, 30 June 2026 (UTC)
- Ignoring the bug issue for a now, is the output
N/A (<4.88)
- correct? I mean, if we have a number "<4.88", then it isn't "N/A". Gonnym (talk) 08:48, 30 June 2026 (UTC)
- I think the same. I'm puzzled why N/A is there. N/A should be used if there is nothing to report, this template clearly has something to report. - X201 (talk) 08:51, 30 June 2026 (UTC)
- I agree the N/A is puzzling. If it isn't reported by BARB, then we should fully be using "N/A" or "<#", with the later perhaps also having a note that that number was the lowest reported BARB rating and the program was less that and not reported. - Favre1fan93 (talk) 14:48, 30 June 2026 (UTC)

Tracking category for template-set TBA values
[edit]A tracking category should be created for when the template sets cells as TBA so if for some reason, usages like List of Ascendance of a Bookworm episodes#ep49 aren't filled in later on, we aren't stuck with pages like that. Gonnym (talk) 15:45, 7 July 2026 (UTC)
