From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

	Film Portal This non-article page is within the scope of WikiProject Films. This project is a central gathering of editors working to build comprehensive and detailed articles for film topics on Wikipedia. If you would like to participate, you can edit the article attached to this page, or visit the project page, where you can join the project and/or contribute to the discussion.
Template This article has been rated as Template-Class on the quality scale. NA This article has been rated as NA-importance on the priority scale.
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] Classifications

Your code is as follows; you've either copied WikiProject Film's code and not modified it, or you decided to share their categories:

{{#switch:{{{class}}} |FA=[[Category:FA-Class film articles|{{PAGENAME}}]] |A=[[Category:A-Class film articles|{{PAGENAME}}]] |GA=[[Category:GA-Class film articles|{{PAGENAME}}]] |B=[[Category:B-Class film articles|{{PAGENAME}}]] |Start=[[Category:Start-Class film articles|{{PAGENAME}}]] |Stub=[[Category:Stub-Class film articles|{{PAGENAME}}]] |Dab=[[Category:Disambig-Class film articles|{{PAGENAME}}]] |Template=[[Category:Template-Class film articles|{{PAGENAME}}]] |Cat=[[Category:Category-Class film articles|{{PAGENAME}}]] |=[[Category:No-Class film articles|{{PAGENAME}}]] |#default=[[Category:Unassessed film articles|{{PAGENAME}}]] }}

Although Horror is of course a subgenre of film, the idea most certainly is that the classification categories belong to one Project. WikiProject Film might want to assess the articles independently. I've rolled it back for now and suggest you create your own categories, or just confirm with the WPFilm guys that you'll be sharing categories. (If still unsure, please come to Wikipedia talk:Version 1.0 Editorial Team/Index of subjects). --kingboyk 09:32, 5 July 2006 (UTC)

Given that your Project page says "It is designed to supplement (not to replace) the work done by WikiProject Films and WikiProject Novels, the two WikiProjects into which the majority of its articles also fit.", I'm now certain you should have your own categories. You don't just cover film, and you may very well come up with different ratings than (and will certainly come up with different importance ratings than) the Film (and Novels) WikiProject(s). Therefore, you need to create your own categories. If it's not done in the next few days and I have a moment I'll do it myself :) --kingboyk 14:31, 5 July 2006 (UTC)

Done, using a standardised layout as practiced by the major WikiProjects. --kingboyk 15:03, 5 July 2006 (UTC)
