| 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] Proper parent category
I created this category to replace a miscapitalized "Category:Time Travel films", but didn't think about the problems of supercategorization until after I'd done this. I originally thought to change time-travel films' genre category from Category:Science fiction films to this one, but then I remembered Somewhere in Time, which is fantasy, not SF. That brought up the question of what this category's parent should be. I started thinking about how included themes might be different from general genres (e.g., Time Bandits is a fantasy/comedy film that happens to include time travel as a supporting theme), and decided I made a mistake even trying to fix this problem. (I should have just nominated the old category for speedy renaming, which would have garnered the attention of category mavens who were more prepared to consider the larger situation.) For now, I've just added this to Category:Films by genre. ~ Jeff Q (talk) 19:15, 20 November 2005 (UTC)
- There certainly isn't much science in Time Bandits, so the current kind of categorization is probably suitable enough for the present.
