Wikipedia:WikiProject List of Television Episodes
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
|
Some Wikipedians have formed a project to better organize Lists of Television episodes. There are many such lists but none follow the same convention. Most episode lists have been following their own convention for lists and include some information that others do not include. Therefore, the purpose of this project is to conglomerate those conventions into an approach that works for all lists. However, this project does not focus on a single episode description. This is the purpose of another project (see below).
This page and its subpages contain their suggestions; it is hoped that this project will help to focus the efforts of other Wikipedians. If you would like to help, please inquire on the talk page.
For more information on WikiProjects, please see Wikipedia:WikiProjects and Wikipedia:WikiProject best practices.

[edit] Templates
- {{Episode list}}
- instructions at Template talk:Episode list
- A template which simplifies the method of creating new lists in a table format, using the project's recomended layout. Participants are encouraged to begin applying them to episode lists.
- instructions at Template talk:Japanese episode list
- For animes and other Japanese-related episodes, which provides the same options as the above template, but with Japanese specific parameters for ease of use (such as "KanjiTitle", etc).
- For lists that don't wish to use screenshots or an images column, editors simply need to remove the
|Image=
parameter.
- For lists that only want to list titles and air dates, etc, and do not want to include images and/or summaries can remove
|ShortSummary=
and|Image=
, which will remove the colored line separator and any cell coloring.
- {{WikiProject LOE}} - Placed on the top of talk pages of List of episodes type articles, used to mark the article as related to this WikiProject.
