** This template generates the appropriate green message box asking for help with transcribing the episode.
** If you intend to transcribe the _whole_ episode, please _REPLACE_ the "900s" template above with the "transcribing all" template:

|date = YYYY-MM-DD
|transcriber = (optional)
|time = (optional; use HHMM (Enter the 24-hour time in GMT) )

** If you _only_ want to work on a section, just add the "transcribing section" template BELOW the "Episode" or "900s" template above to indicate you are not working on the entire transcription:
{{transcribing section

|transcriber = (optional)
|time = (optional; use HHMM (Enter the 24-hour time in GMT) )

** If you use the "transcribing section" template (placing it here, at the top of the transcript under the "Episode"/"900s" template), make sure you _also_ have a "transcribing" template above whichever section you're currently working on:
{{transcribing
