#How do I get a template for Episode Lists working on my wiki?

Hi again!
I'm currently trying to repurpose those tables you'd see for episode lists on wikipedia. I found an equivalent on a miraheze wiki but I can't import from this wiki, and looking at it's source I don't think I quite understand what's going on under the hood and was hoping I could have someone help me bring it over to my wiki. Thanks. Here's the template I would like to use: https://knightn.miraheze.org/wiki/Template:Episode_list

Which one on Dev were you looking to import?

At it's core, it's just a table. You could reproduce a similar and simpler one just using default mediawiki table syntax, without going in depth with all the lua modules and stuff.
Alternatively, you could import the template from wikipedia, which is exactly what the wiki you linked to did. [[w:Module:Episode list]] conveniently contains a list of all of it's dependencies.

It is generally discouraged to import directly from wikipedia, and yes there often are a lot of dependencies, but in my experience usually the module will tell you exactly what errors are occurring and how they need to be fixed.

[[dev:]] tries to present simpler templates with less dependencies
