| 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.

Stub to Start-Class Upgrading Instructions for Films
- Note that instructions for articles on other types of film topics within the scope of WikiProject Films are currently under development.
To contribute in upgrading this stub article to Start class, the following requirements must be met:
- Significant intro (list the title, alternate titles, year released, director, actors starring in the film, summary of headings, etc.)
- Film infobox ({{infobox film}})
- Picture: Consult WikiProject Free Images for freely released images from a film shoot, opening, or other relevant free image. Non-free and unlicensed images are to be avoided if at all possible, but if used should include a detailed fair use rationale. (An image is not required for start class if unavailable.)
- Plot summary
- Include cast and crew information.
- At least two other developed sections of information (production, reception (including box office figures), awards and honors, themes, differences from novel or TV show, soundtrack, sequels, DVD release, etc.)
- Categories (by year, country, language, and genre(s))
Helpful links: WP:BETTER, WP:LEAD, WP:REF, WP:WAF
Once this article has fulfilled these requirements, the film can be reassessed to Start class and this template will be removed automatically.

[edit] Most hated list
The reason why I deleted the info about the hate list in the first place, was that I consider it totally inappropriate to name this fact in the second line of the article. The article is about the movie, it's contents, origins, plot, actors, production. It's nice that this guy wrote about the movie. However, his opinion won't last half as long as the movie. If you want to include every single opinion, the measures of the leading act, obstacles during pruduction, whatever, let's please do it like IMDB and move this to the trivia section, because that's what it is: trivial. I read the WP entry about Roger Ebert and definitely like his controversial stance on the MPAA, yet I think that this is not the key fact to know about the movie. Cheers. --perelly 21:05, 3 April 2006 (UTC)
I need to finish the plot, but as I have no idea how exactly an article about a movie should be written, I'd welcome help from any more experienced editors on how I should write it. Thanks 70.92.130.221 (talk) 22:26, 8 December 2007 (UTC)
