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.


Guidelines

Participants

Technically speaking, anyone who edits / contributes to TV and episode articles is a participant, and there are no requirements other than that. If one wishes they can further identify themselves with the task force by adding {{User TV Eps}} to their user page.

Individual episodes

These articles about television episodes reached featured article status. You can use them as an example of what a well written episode article should look like.

The following lists of episodes have been identifed as Featured lists:

List guidelines

  • Until a new guideline/how-to is made, simply follow the example of other Featured lists.
(see also, #Templates below for the structure guidelines via templates)

Additional relevant guidelines and advice:

Templates

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.
  • Please be sure to use {{Start date}} for the first-bradcast date of each episode.

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.
