Module:Infobox television disambiguation check

Module:Infobox television disambiguation check is used to validate the disambiguation of a page using {{Infobox television}}.

What it does

The module preforms two checks:

1. It checks by a series of validations if one of the accepted WP:NCTV disambiguation styles appears in the parenthesis. If it is incorrect, it places the page in Category:Television articles with incorrect naming style. Validations currently supported:
   1. Validates the format used is one of the accepted values.
   2. Validates the country adjective used is correct.
   3. Validates the year is using 4 digits.
   4. Validates that the style is ordered as <year> <country adjective> <format>.
2. It checks if a page is using "(film series)", "(franchise)", "(radio)", "(season #)", "(series #)" or "(TV programming block)" as disambiguation, but uses {{Infobox television}} instead of {{Infobox media franchise}}, {{Infobox radio show}}, {{Infobox television season}} or {{Infobox programming block}}}. If so, it places the page in Category:Television articles using incorrect infobox.
