This template displays an external link to the BBC Programmes page at BBC Online for a BBC television or radio programme.

There are some specific rules about it's usage.

  • It is not a general BBC linking template. Use a normal external URL link, not this template.
  • It can only be used on the main article about the subject, not related articles like "List of" articles, character articles etc.
  • It should only be used in the external links section of an article and should not be used inside a reference.
  • It can only be used once per article.
  • For individual episodes use {{BBC episode}} instead.

All other uses (or multiple uses in the same article) will result in conflicts between Wikipedia and Wikidata, causing the article to appear in the error categories below.
