User WP TV This user participates in WikiProject Television.

A list of participants can be found at Category:WikiProject Television participants.

Technically speaking, anyone who edits / contributes to TV related articles is a participant, and there are no requirements other than that. If one wishes they can further identify themselves with the project by listing their name as a participant. This helps spread the word about the project and can help other editors see what types of articles that user is interested in editing.

To add yourself to the project listing add the following to your user page:

[[Category:WikiProject Television participants|{{subst:PAGENAME}}]]

Or, if you wish to use the userbox, add {{User WP TV}} to your user page instead as it includes the above wikicode.

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.

First of all, be sure to read these guidelines, policies and discussions if you want to write good articles on fiction.

• Avoid Trivia sections
• Writing better articles: Check your fiction
• Wikipedia is not an indiscriminate collection of information (#2, Plot summaries)
• Possible proliferation of fictional-universe-related articles is discussed in the essay Wikipedia:Fancruft and its talk page.

TODO Wikipedia:WikiProject Television/Fictional elements (includes characters)

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

• Homer Simpson
• Pauline Fowler
• Martin Keamy

There is no guideline or policy about naming an article about a fictional character. See essay Wikipedia:Naming conventions (characters).

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 of people
• Biographies of living persons
• Manual of Style (biographies)
• Wikiproject Screenwriters - project dedicated to screenwriters.

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.

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.

• Kroger Babb
• James T. Aubrey, Jr.
• Aaron Sorkin

AlexNewArtBot has been set up to identify new articles that are potentially within the scope of this project, based on the rules defined at User:AlexNewArtBot/Television. It is likely that some are false positives, in which case the log at User:AlexNewArtBot/TelevisionLog should be examined for more information.
