Module:Television episode disambiguation creates an entry in a disambiguation page by converting a plain text episode article name into a correctly formatted link and its short description. The style of the links follows the guidelines at WP:NCTV, MOS:DABENTRY, MOS:ITALICTITLE and MOS:QUOTETITLE.

This module implements the {{Television episode disambiguation description}} template.
