Series/Season & "dd mmm yyyy" dates
The top-left cell displays either Series or Season, determined if the |df=
parameter of the first {{Start date}} template is set. If it is included (|df=y
), the cell will display Series, otherwise the cell will display Season. This can be overridden by setting either |seriesT=
or |seasonT=
to custom text.
