Module:Infobox television

This Lua module is used on many pages and changes may be widely noticed. Test changes in the module's /sandbox or /testcases subpages, or in your own module sandbox. Consider discussing changes on the talk page before implementing them.
This module depends on the following other modules:
Module:Arguments
Module:Infobox television is used to validate parameter values for Template:Infobox television.
Functions

above_title

{{#invoke:Infobox television|above_title}}
Returns the text used for the |above= field of the infobox.
validate_values

{{#invoke:Infobox television|validate_values}}
Returns the relevant maintenance categories based on the {{Infobox television}} values validated.
Maintenance categories

The module places relevant pages in the following maintenance categories:

--- Returns a maintenance category if the infobox title is equal to the article title.
---
--- Infobox parameters checked:
--- - |name=
---
--- The function currently checks if the infobox title is equal to the article title while ignoring styling such as:
--- - Nowrap spans.
--- - Line breaks.
---
--- A return value can be one of three options:
--- - The value of maintenance_categories.non_matching_title - when the args.title does not match the article title.
--- - The value of maintenance_categories.unnecessary_title_parameter - when the args.title matches the article title.
--- - An empty string - when args.name isn't used or the args.name uses an allowed modification
--- (such as a nowrap template) while the rest of the args.name matches the article title.
---
--- Testing parameters:
--- - |page_test= - a real Wikipedia page to read the content of the page.
--- - |page_title_test= - the title of the page being checked.
