| Editing Guidelines |
|
Please remember these guidelines when editing a film article:
- If a non-film article already exists with the name of the film that you are trying to create an article for, disambiguate and use (film) in the title: Film Title (film)
- When writing an article about a particular film, the general format should be a concise lead section, followed by a plot summary of no more than 900 words, production details, a cast list, a reception section, and references.
- Create an Infobox that tells all pertinent information about the film.

[edit] Guidelines for adding new entries
|
These are guidelines for adding new films to the lists. Following them helps the functionality and maintenance of the list.
- Please, enter films which are only covered in a separate section of the article linked as in: ''[[The Seventh Cross#Film Adaptation|The Seventh Cross]]''.
- After the title, please include the year the film was released. The recommended way is as the example:
''[[Dodgeball: A True Underdog Story]]'' ([[2004 in film|2004]])
- which displays: Dodgeball: A True Underdog Story (2004)
- For television films (this includes films that debut on television networks, not films beign played on movie channels in syndication), after the film's year release, please include: ([[television movie|TV]]), which displays: (TV).
- Multiple titles of the same name should be listed where the year the film was released takes place of the title name. The title is listed once followed by a colon. Follow this example:
''Avalon'': ([[Avalon (1990 film)|1990]]) & ([[Avalon (2001 film)|2001]])
- which displays: Avalon: (1990) & (2001)
- For series of films, list the common title of the series, and then include "series:" after it. Then indent the rest of the films in the series, following the normal format. For example:
