This template generates a sidebar similar to Template:Blog, but for use on the main descriptive pages of shows.

Usage

{{Show
|name     =
|image    =
|creators =

|cast     = {{Show/row|CHARACTER|ACTOR}}
|former   = {{Show/row|FORMER CHARACTER|FORMER ACTOR}}
|crew     = {{Show/row|PRODUCTION FUNCTION|CREWMEMBER}}

|portal   =
|lov      =

|bgcolor     =
|headercolor =
|fontcolor   =
|bordercolor =
}}

• name defaults to the page name.
• image expects only the filename, no preceeding Image: or other parameters.
• creators is shown exactly as entered, so that a list of links can be made.
• cast, former and crew are meant for use with Template:Show/row - see that page if you're unsure how to use it.
• portal and lov will check for the common names first (Portal:Name and List of Name videos), and only if such a page was not found processes the input. That input is automatically turned into a link (iow, it expects the page name of this series' list of videos).
• bgcolor controls the background color (defaults to #EEEEEE).
• headercolor controls the subsection header colors (defaults to #DDDDDD).
• fontcolor controls the overall font color (defaults to #000000).
• bordercolor controls the border color (defaults to #AAAAAA).

If the series name equals the page name, and portal and list of videos are at the default locations, all three values can be omitted.
