[[Category:Help]]
This is a quick rough draft of the kind of infobox I thought might be useful for the episode transcriptions. It's the first one I've done, so it obviously isn't great, but I figured it might be a place to start a discussion on what to include in an infobox template so you have an 'at-a-glance' reference to certain information like the time stamps of sections, show links etc.
<br>However, having the sections repeated in the infobox is a bit redundant.
<br>Please let me know what you think, and whether you have experience making infobox templates
