Project:WikiProject Media franchises

This WikiProject aims to organize information in media franchises, such as Mario, Harry Potter, Star Wars , etc. For instance, Harry Potter refers to both a series of books by J. K. Rowling, a series of films, as well as a character in that series. The Hitchhiker's Guide to the Galaxy series is a series of books, a radio show, a film, a specific book in the series, as well as an entity in the setting of the series.

Further, we may look at the fact that a series - particularly if written as a saga, such as Star Trek or The Lord of the Rings - is much more likely to build up a large number of characters, some of whom (eg. Mr. Spock) might become famous outside of their fictional universes. We will look at how such information might be organized.

A list has been started to show various media franchises.

There are several types of media groups that fall under the purview of this project. How we intend to handle each is listed below. To make discussions easier within the project, several abbreviations which have been adopted.

;Media franchises (MF)

:A group of closely related media which heavily cross multiple media.

:For the largest of these, portals could be created.

;Cross-media properties (CMP):A group of media which lightly cross multiple media.

;Media based on media (MBoM):The separate articles will be created for the different media. Careful attention is to be paid to in-text links and the categories in which they are placed.

;Media tie-ins (MTI):Novelizations, soundtracks, some video games, etc which will mostly be all-in-one articles with all-in-one infoboxes.

Currently this project only has an assessment committee.

{{Main|Wikipedia:WikiProject Media franchises/Task forces}}

The task forces of this project will mostly be multimedia fictional series. Single media series could become task forces of that media's WikiProject. That does not mean that this project will always be for multimedia series.

If you come across a WikiProject of a fictional series that seems dormant, you can add {{tl|WikiProject Media franchises merge}} on its talk page. Then go to the proposal page to start the discussion.
