Wikipedia:WikiProject Television/Episode coverage
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

This is a task force of WikiProject Television for the coverage of episode related content (as opposed to over-all show information, or other general TV article). This includes Lists of episodes, season / series / story arc articles, and individual episode articles.
This task force is the result of merging WP:TVE and WP:LOE. You will find all those guidelines, templates, and advice on this page, as well as new information. This was done to better organize all articles relating to episode-level detail.
See also: Wikipedia:Television episodes, our guidelines on writing articles on individual television episodes.

- (see also, #Templates below for the structure guidelines via templates)
Additional relevant guidelines and advice:
[edit] Templates
- {{Episode list}}
- instructions at Template talk:Episode list
- A template which simplifies the method of creating new lists in a table format, using the project's recommended layout. Participants are encouraged to begin applying them to episode lists.
- instructions at Template talk:Japanese episode list
- For anime and other Japanese-related episodes, which provides the same options as the above template, but with Japanese specific parameters for ease of use (such as "KanjiTitle", etc).
- For lists that only want to list titles and air dates, etc, and do not want to include summaries can remove
|ShortSummary=, which will remove the summary cell, colored line separator and default cell coloring.
[edit] Categories
When a list is in its own List of episodes or List of media article, add a category from Category:Lists of television series episodes.
