| 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 common term?
Is "portmanteau film" really the most common? See e.g. Google search results:
- Results 906 for -wikipedia +"portmanteau film"
- Results 60,300 for -wikipedia +"anthology film" -"anthology film archives"
- Books 210 pages on +"anthology film" -"anthology film archives".
- Books 32 pages on +"portmanteau film".
From this, it seems "Anthology film" is the more common name, so I think the article should be moved, with a redirect. Шизомби 01:52, 18 May 2006 (UTC)
[edit] Other Examples
Would Pulp Fiction come under classification as an Anthology film? Other examples may be useful as well, such as Sin City among others. Helmetlad 15:48, 4 June 2006
[edit] Merging?
I'd like to bring to your attention the articles package film and list of package films. The second link only lists animated films, so perhaps it should be renamed to something like "List of animated package films". In any case, maybe the first article and this one should be merged, and it should be decided what is the more commonly-used name. Esn 18:46, 24 November 2006 (UTC)
