Writing and editing television related articles edit

This project deals with a lot of television related articles, but they are not all the same. Therefore we have created separate pages with information for each type of television related article.

Guidelines and essays edit

Project-specific guidelines and essays edit

Manual of Style/Television
Naming conventions (television)
Naming conventions (broadcasting) for advice on articles about television networks, channels, etc.
Notability (television) (essay)

Related guidelines and essays edit

Trivia sections
Manual of Style/Writing about fiction
Writing better articles: Check your fiction
Wikipedia is not an indiscriminate collection of information (#1, Plot summaries)
Notability (fiction)
Notability (media) (essay)
Possible proliferation of in-universe-related content is discussed in the essay Wikipedia:Fancruft and its talk page.

Characters and fictional elements edit

Featured articles edit

See these featured articles for examples of well written articles on characters and elements from fiction:

Naming a character edit

There is no guideline or policy about naming an article about a fictional character. See the essay Wikipedia:Naming character articles.

People working in television edit

Actors, producers, writers etc. are all real people. Turn to WikiProject Biography for help on writing such articles. Here are some quick guidelines and tips for you however.

Notability (people)
Biographies of living persons
Manual of Style/Biography
WikiProject Screenwriters – project dedicated to screenwriters.

Categories edit

As a rule do not create categories for "People by series", because they can potentially work on numerous series or movies etc. You should categorize by profession. See the higher level Category:Television actors, Category:Television directors, Category:Television producers, Category:Television writers, Category:Television presenters in the top level Category:Television people.

Images edit

Fair Use images on pages of real people that are still alive are not allowed, because these images are replaceable. You also cannot use an image from a television program, etc., because you are not illustrating the character but the actor.
