Template:Australian television episode ratings
Purpose
The purpose of the {{Australian television episode ratings}} template is to add a consistent and formatted ratings table to pages for television seasons, listing the overnight and consolidated ratings figures for each episode within a season. It can be added to either the main program article, list of episodes article, or individual season articles (which ever is most appropriate). This template can display the ratings for each episode of a season, for up to 40 episodes or entries.
Note that a custom table may be more beneficial for some programs, and this table isn't required where timeshifted ratings aren't readily available.
Please report any bugs or technical errors to the template talk page.
