Renders one episode row for Template:Firehose. Not intended to be called directly — it is passed to #ask as template=Firehose row.

Parameters arrive positionally, in the order the printouts are declared in Template:Firehose:

  1. page title of the episode
  2. Has podcast
  3. Has topic
  4. Has air date
  5. Has episode url
  6. Has duration, in seconds
  7. Has audio url

Every topic is linked, through Module:Firehose links, which splits a multi-topic value so each name gets its own link rather than one broken one. That linking is the whole point: it is what makes the episode appear on the page of each person, band or place it is about.

The query runs with link=none, so every value arrives as plain text. That is deliberate: Semantic MediaWiki otherwise hands over pre-rendered links, which defeats #titleparts and makes the episode link impossible to relabel.

Laid out with divs rather than table markup on purpose: this template's output is assembled inside a parser function call, and pipe characters in that position are a reliable source of grief.

The name has no slash in it deliberately. Pages with a slash in the title cannot currently be read or edited through the REST API, because Apache rejects the encoded slash before MediaWiki sees it — so a subpage here would be a template no bot could ever fix.
