== trans-title / script-title mismatch in Cite episode? ==

I can't make heads or tails of this one, from [[Greek Expeditionary Force (Korea)]]:

{{cite compare|old=no |mode=episode

| script-title=el:Οι Έλληνες στον πόλεμο της Κορέας

| trans_title = Greeks in Korean War

| url = http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=IjP1RqevelU&feature=wa%C2%ADtch-vrec

| series = Μηχανή Του Χρόνου (The Time Machine)

| first = Χρίστος (Christos)

| last = Βασιλόπουλος (Vasilopoulos)

| year = 2007

| language = Greek (English subtitles)

| network = [[Alpha TV]]

| ___location = Greece

}}

There's a {{para|script-title}} and a {{para|trans_title}}, which seem to match, but the error message reads "|trans-chapter= requires |chapter=". – [[User:Jonesey95|Jonesey95]] ([[User talk:Jonesey95|talk]]) 21:38, 27 April 2015 (UTC)

:I guess it wants a {{para|title}} field (which would contain the romanized title) to put into the {{para|chapter}} field of the underlying call. [[User talk:Kanguole|Kanguole]] 22:30, 27 April 2015 (UTC)

I think that this is a case very much like {{tlx|cite encyclopedia}}. {{para|title}}, and {{para|trans-title}} are promoted to {{para|chapter}} and {{para|trans-chapter}} internally to get the proper formatting. In this case, there is not {{para|script-chapter}} to receive {{para|script-title}} so the module thinks that {{para|trans-chapter}} is missing {{para|chapter}}. I'm not sure why the title text is being rendered after the series text. Further research is required.

Monkbot task 6l made the edit that created this so I've stopped the bot and will disable the script-title functionality for {{tlx|cite episode}}. If you find others of this kind, and the edit was made by Monkbot task 6l, reverting the bot is the correct response.
