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) For more information see: Wikipedia:Naming conventions (films) 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] Saw 4

I added Saw 4 to the template. -24.92.41.95 01:12, 22 October 2006 (UTC)

But we don't know if its going to be made yet.--CyberGhostface 01:19, 22 October 2006 (UTC)

I saw a report on now mania.com (formerly cinescape.com) that said that it will be released for Halloween next year^[1]. --myselfalso 15:48, 1 November 2006 (UTC)

See Talk:Saw IV. When that dispute is resolved, consider the template. Rich Farmbrough, 16:50 1 November 2006 (GMT).

[edit] size

I've been trying to keep this template's size down by keeping the names simplified (Adam, Dr. Gordon etc...). I'm just posting here to see if anyone has any objections. --Spencer "The Belldog" Bermudez | (Complain here) 11:30, 18 November 2006 (UTC)

[edit] I think we're getting a little character-happy here

I still believe that Jigsaw and Amanda are the only characters that really deserve their own articles. I guess the protagonists of each film might deserve one, but with Detective Kerry we are officially crossing the line...Kerry had little more than glorified cameos in each film. If we ever do a 'List of Saw characters' page she should have her own section, but she is not big enough to warrant her own article. Whats next, an article dedicated to Troy?--CyberGhostface 13:38, 18 November 2006 (UTC)

I just saw how many character pages were created, and I agree its been taken a bit too far. I understand Jigsaw and Amanda's articles to the fullest (they are important and major characters afterall), and the Adam article is pretty justified as he appeared in all films, but the minor characters aren't needed. I think, since they all seem to be nominated for deletion they should be removed from the template. Any objections? -Lindsey8417 10:07, 19 November 2006 (UTC)

None from me. I'm nominating them for deletion right now.--CyberGhostface 13:28, 19 November 2006 (UTC)

Oh, what now, they're all back up! Well, all the ones that everyone wanted merged at least. Jack Of Hearts | Miss A Turn 20:49, 25 March 2007 (UTC)

Not everyone...some overzealous editor whose never seen any of the films nominated them for deletion and several other people who also haven't seen the films wanted them gone as well. I think all the major protagonists deserve articles. Minor characters like Xavier and Kerry obviously don't, but I think these should stay for the moment.--CyberGhostface 20:56, 25 March 2007 (UTC)

Well, I can understand people like Detective Matthews and Adam Faulkner, but Lawrence Gordon's just a terrible mess of redirects now, and we've got some people re-creating the articles with some people right behind them closing them off again.

[edit] shortening

Could someone who knows more about editing templates possibly try to get the soundtracks and "other" sections onto the same line, like Template:Simpsons characters, to make it shorter? --Spencer "The Belldog" Bermudez | (Complain here) 12:02, 21 November 2006 (UTC)

I don't think we should cram two sections onto the same line just yet, unless in the future we get more sections.--CyberGhostface 19:31, 21 November 2006 (UTC)

[edit] Template Colour

Which do you guys prefer: [1]? Regular Blue or Black? JackOfHearts 05:45, 28 November 2006 (UTC)

Unless you can find a way to change the text color, black is way too hard to read.--CyberGhostface 19:09, 28 November 2006 (UTC)

[edit] The Saw series template

Could we make the templetate of the Saw series more like the movie itselfs, (Like: Text, wich match the series, white text on the headlines or different color on the main headline,. ) so it would be more familiar with its article —The preceding --Rutherfordjigsaw 18:35, 7 April 2007 (UTC)Rutherfordjigsaw
