Examples

{{H2G2|book|1|link=yes}} to {{H2G2|book|6|link=yes}} for the novels:

{{H2G2|radio|1|link=yes}} to {{H2G2|radio|26|link=yes}} for the radio episodes:

{{H2G2|phase|1|link=yes}} to {{H2G2|phase|5|link=yes}} for the radio phases:

{{H2G2|tv|1|link=yes}} to {{H2G2|tv|6|link=yes}} for the TV episodes:

{{H2G2|movie|1|link=yes}} for the film:

{{H2G2|game|1|link=yes}} and {{H2G2|game|2|link=yes}} for the computer games:
