Wikipedia:WikiProject Television/Episode coverage task force

{{Wikipedia:WikiProject Television/Navigation}}

{{Shortcut|WP:TVE|WP:LOE}}{{TOCleft}}

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.

To include articles in this task force, add episode-coverage=Yes to {{tl|WikiProject Television}} on the article's talk page. To assess articles for this task force add for example, episode-coverage-importance=low after including the articles as part of the task force.

See also WP:NTVEP for guidance on writing articles on individual television episodes.

  • For lists that only list titles and air dates, etc., and do not include summaries, remove {{Para|ShortSummary}}, which will remove the summary cell, colored line separator and default cell coloring.
  • Please be sure to use {{Tl|Start date}} for the first-broadcast date of each episode.

=Categories=
