WikiProject Films is a WikiProject dedicated to building comprehensive and detailed articles on Wikipedia about topics related to films. Please feel free to add yourself to the project.

Goals

To standardize the film articles in Wikipedia
To improve Wikipedia coverage of films by adding, expanding and improving film articles
To serve as a central point of discussion for issues related to Wikipedia film articles
To provide the necessary framework to assist in bringing all articles within the project scope to the highest possible quality

Scope

The project generally considers all articles directly related to film to be within its scope. However, for present organizational reasons (as of October 2007), the project does not include articles about actors, directors and filmmakers; those are in the scope of the Biography WikiProject, most especially the Actors and Filmmakers and Screenwriters projects thereof. (Future tagging of bio articles relevant to specific task forces may be a future extension, however.)

Organization

Due to the size, scope and number of interested editors working on articles, the project has added several additional structures to keep the work organized:

Coordinators in charge of project organization and administration
Departments for specialized tasks across the whole of the project
Task forces to allow collaboration amongst editors interested in specific topics within the project-wide scope

Scope

As noted above, the project generally considers any article directly relevant to films to be within its scope.

Our primary work is concentrated in a number of broad areas:

Films and film series
Film characters
Companies and organizations of note with a substantial relevance to films, including equipment suppliers, production companies, archives, institutes, and educational facilities.
Film awards, including individual ceremonies, award categories, and winner or nominee lists.
Film festivals, including invididual instances and ancillary bodies.
Film equipment, technology, practice, and terminology.
Significant historical locations and structures primarily used for filmmaking or exhibition.
Film studies topics and notable film critics, theorists, and researchers.
Genres, types, movements, and periods of film; the cinematic histories of particular nations, regions, and groups.

Guidelines

The following are specific guidelines for articles within the scope of this WikiProject (in order of consideration for editors creating articles):

Film notability
Naming conventions for films
Style guide - Currently, this page only covers articles about individual films. We expect to create additional style guides in the near future for other types of film-related articles, in consultation with the relevant task forces.

Project organization

Coordinators

The project coordinators are generally responsible for maintaining all of the procedural and administrative aspects of the project, and serve as the designated points-of-contact for procedural issues. They are not, however, endowed with any special executive powers, nor with any authority over article content or editor conduct.

The Lead Coordinator bears overall responsibility for coordinating the project; the Coordinators aid the Lead Coordinator and focus on specific areas that require special attention.

Lead Coordinator: Girolamo Savonarola (talk · contribs)

Coordinators: Bzuk (talk · contribs); Erik (talk · contribs); Limetolime (talk · contribs); Nehrams2020 (talk · contribs)

More detailed descriptions of the coordinators' responsibilities, the history of the positions, and the process by which coordinators are selected may also be of some interest.

Participants

If you wish to join this project, please feel free to add your name to our Participants page!

In addition, participants and other Wikipedians who wish to show support for this project should feel free to add {{User WikiProject Films}} or [[Category:Wikipedians interested in film]] to their user pages. Or, you can place a big infobox on your user page by adding {{Films}} to your page.

Departments

Assessment focuses on determining and tracking the quality of Wikipedia's film articles; the resulting statistics are used to aid in recognizing excellent contributions and identifying topics in need of further work.
Categorization acts as a central location for work on the category tree, including recommendations for hierarchy structuring, comments on categories for deletion, and general discussion about film categories.
Contest is a forthcoming department aimed at motivating increased quality in film articles by offering a form of friendly competition for project members making improvements to them.
Films based on books identifies articles which may require splitting the source material from the film adaptation into separate articles.
Future films monitors articles on unreleased films to check for notability, assist in sourcing, and compile a release schedule.
Missing films compiles lists of potentially notable films for which an article does not yet exist and sorts them by country and time period
Outreach acts as a central location for various member outreach work, including project newsletters, recruitment and welcoming banners, and other related initiatives.
Review conducts both informal peer reviews of articles and other content, as well as formal reviews for A-Class status; it also provides a centralized forum for viewing external reviews (such as featured article candidacies) within the project's scope.
Spotlight displays positive contributions and accomplishments by the project as a whole, including featured content, DYKs (Did You Know?), A and GA-Class articles, film barnstar winners, and admin members.

Task forces

Please discuss any proposals for new task forces with the project as a whole before creating them.

WP Films operates several task forces. Task forces are informal groups of editors gathered for collaborative work on a particular topic within the subject of film. They afford the advantage of allowing editors to organize their efforts around a topic without having to expend time and energy organizing and duplicating the overall structure, style, and guidelines for a descendant WikiProject which would be completely or mostly covered by the Films project. All users are encouraged to participate in any that interest them.

Editors interested in creating task forces should look towards creating a task force with a medium-to-large number of articles within its scope, or consider a higher-level scope if this cannot be achieved. (For example, less productive national cinemas may be better served by creating a collective regional cinema task force instead.)

Task forces should also have aroused a significant number of potential participants to warrant organizational overhead. The project, via consensus on the discussion page, will determine if a task force is to be created.

(It should be noted that task forces created prior to July 1, 2007 were moved from independent WikiProjects and should thus be considered "grandfathered" in.)

General

National cinemas (for very productive national cinemas): American; British; German; Russian

Regional cinemas (for smaller national cinemas): African; Eastern European; Latin American; Middle Eastern; Nordic; Oceanic (would also include Australia and New Zealand)

Time periods: silent film; decades

Useful tags

If you find, create, or contribute to a film article, please paste {{Film}} on the top of its discussion page with the appropriate parameters and add the article to the relevant lists within List of films. In addition, some tags that can be pasted on the discussion page in order to request the addition of missing material are {{Film needs synopsis}}, {{Film needs cast section}}, and {{Filmimage}}.
If you find a stub article that has not yet been marked as a stub, add {{film-stub}} to the bottom of the article, or browse Cat:Film stubs for sub-cats such as {{comedy-film-stub}}, {{action-film-stub}}, and other sub-stubs by subject or country. The article will then automatically be included in the film stubs category, where you can find plenty of stub articles to expand if you are itching to do something.

Showcase

The following is a listing of articles (and other types of content) within the scope of the project that have been noted for their outstanding quality. Project members are encouraged to peruse these at their leisure, as they serve as excellent examples of different writing and organizational styles that one may wish to emulate.

Please note that the project does not necessarily claim any authorship or credit for creating these. While many were written by members—sometimes with extensive input from the project as a whole—others were created by uninvolved editors, or predate the existence of the project itself, and are listed here merely because they fall within our scope.
