I have to turn in soon, so I'd best leave you more detail. Basically what needs to happen is this:

From every level, DW & R, remove 3 lines and add 2 lines from within the Infobox level call --

REMOVE:
 * episode = stuff
 * eplink = stuff
 * epimage = stuff

ADD:
 * episode = episode name with disambiguation, eg. Candy Clouds (Episode 20)
 * epimage = episode banner file name, eg. Candy-Clouds-2.png

As there are 3 different situations out there, doing the above would cover all three without too much iffing about.

Why are there 3 scenarios? Originally, changes were made to infobox level that altered the meaning of 'episode' and wanted the image in there. This caused redlinking by unedited levels. I changed infobox level with compatibility code, but simultaneously restored the meaning of 'episode' as the episode name/link (hence the 3rd scenario). The param eplink had been introduced to replace 'episode' and it is no longer needed, but some levels use it. Currently, 'epimage' wants the banner image.

So the scenarios are:
 * Unedited levels have episode the original/current way, with neither eplink nor epimage (they display a text link - compatibility)
 * Early-edited levels have 'eplink' with an image-ified version of 'episode' (they display the banner - compatibility)
 * Some levels have 'episode' he original/current way, with 'epimage' correctly filled in. (new version)

I persuaded people this should be left to a bot as I believe it is mechanical enough, but I realize it's not a two-second job either, given it changes with each episode. If you don't have time, let us know -- can tell me or tell the thread Thread:239441 and people will be ecstatic to resume racking up edits on this. If I can do anything to help, also let me know.

thanks very much!
