 | This page in a nutshell: Television lists should be consistent in a neutral point of view and cite reliable sources to verify they have no original research. |
The following is a guide for those who edit television-related stand-alone lists and “lists of links”, which are articles that primarily consist of a list or a group of lists, linking to articles or lists in a particular subject area, such as a timeline of events or people and places under Wikipedia:WikiProject Television. “List of” or “Timeline of” usually commence these articles’ titles. Stand-alone lists are Wikipedia articles; thus, they are equally subject to Wikipedia's content policies, such as verifiability, no original research and neutral point of view. Remember that Wikipedia is foremost an encyclopedia and that articles should try to be prosaïc, and his style guideline aims to create a consistent method of displaying lists of works, such as lists of videos, broadcasts, episodes and channels, instead of TV.com extracts listing arbitrary information. Articles should be verifiable and establish notability. Please cite your sources wherever possible. Your articles should be written from an out-of-universe perspective. Remember, this is only a guide, and may change depending on Wikipolicy or participant consensus.
The overall list structure should be flexible and responsive to unique or exceptional aspects, including but not limited to, filmgraphies, careers, series, or list of characters, channels or broadcasters, including any combination thereof, but the following guidelines should be followed in most cases. General guidelines are available at Wikipedia:Manual of Style/Stand-alone lists and Wikipedia:Manual of Style/Television.
