If you would like to participate, you can edit the article attached to this page, or visit the project page, where you can join the project and/or contribute to the discussion.

Editing Guidelines Please remember these guidelines when editing a film article: If a non-film article already exists with the name of the film that you are trying to create an article for, disambiguate and use (film) in the title: Film Title (film) For more information see: Misplaced Pages:Naming conventions (films) When writing an article about a particular film, the general format should be a concise lead section, followed by a plot summary of no more than 900 words, production details, a cast list, a reception section, and references. Create an Infobox that tells all pertinent information about the film.

This template is used on approximately 386,000 pages, or roughly 1% of all pages. To avoid major disruption and server load, any changes should be tested in the template's /sandbox or /testcases subpages, or in your own user subpage. The tested changes can be added to this page in a single edit. Consider discussing changes on the talk page before implementing them.

The {{WikiProject Film}} project banner template should be added (never subst:ed) to the talk page of every article within the scope of the project. While the template does not require any additional parameters, it has a number of optional ones that add various extra features to the banner.

Basic usage

An article's quality assessment is generated from the class parameter in the {{WikiProject Banner Shell}}. Articles that have the {{WikiProject Film}} project banner on their talk page will be added to the appropriate categories by quality.

The following values may be used for the class parameter to describe the quality of the article (see Misplaced Pages:Content assessment for assessment criteria):

FA (for featured articles only; adds articles to Category:FA-Class film articles)		FA
A (adds articles to Category:A-Class film articles)		A
GA (for good articles only; adds articles to Category:GA-Class film articles)		GA
B (adds articles to Category:B-Class film articles)		B
C (adds articles to Category:C-Class film articles)		C
Start (adds articles to Category:Start-Class film articles)		Start
Stub (adds articles to Category:Stub-Class film articles)		Stub
FL (for featured lists only; adds articles to Category:FL-Class film articles)		FL
List (adds articles to Category:List-Class film articles)		List

For non-standard grades and non-mainspace content, the following values may be used for the class parameter:

Category (for categories; adds pages to Category:Category-Class film pages)		Category
Disambig (for disambiguation pages; adds pages to Category:Disambig-Class film pages)		Disambig
Draft (for drafts; adds pages to Category:Draft-Class film pages)		Draft
FM (for featured media only; adds pages to Category:FM-Class film pages)		FM

Portal (for portal pages; adds pages to Category:Portal-Class film pages)		Portal
Project (for project pages; adds pages to Category:Project-Class film pages)		Project
Redirect (for redirect pages; adds pages to Category:Redirect-Class film pages)		Redirect
Template (for templates and modules; adds pages to Category:Template-Class film pages)		Template
NA (for any other pages where assessment is unnecessary; adds pages to Category:NA-Class film pages)		NA
??? (articles for which a valid class has not yet been provided are listed in Category:Unassessed film articles)		???
