| 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)
- 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.

Stub to Start-Class Upgrading Instructions for Films
- Note that instructions for articles on other types of film topics within the scope of WikiProject Films are currently under development.
To contribute in upgrading this stub article to Start class, the following requirements must be met:
- Significant intro (list the title, alternate titles, year released, director, actors starring in the film, summary of headings, etc.)
- Film infobox ({{infobox film}})
- Picture: Consult WikiProject Free Images for freely released images from a film shoot, opening, or other relevant free image. Non-free and unlicensed images are to be avoided if at all possible, but if used should include a detailed fair use rationale. (An image is not required for start class if unavailable.)
- Plot summary
- Include cast and crew information.
- At least two other developed sections of information (production, reception (including box office figures), awards and honors, themes, differences from novel or TV show, soundtrack, sequels, DVD release, etc.)
- Categories (by year, country, language, and genre(s))
Helpful links: WP:BETTER, WP:LEAD, WP:REF, WP:WAF
Once this article has fulfilled these requirements, the film can be reassessed to Start class and this template will be removed automatically.

[edit] Comment
The movie we couldn't get rid of, no matter how hard we try.—Preceding unsigned comment added by 66.218.28.246 (talk • contribs) 13 July 2006
[edit] Sequels - direct to video ?
The article asserts that the sequels went direct to video. It would appear that number 4 The Amityville Curse was released in theatres shortly before being released on video.[1] Thus the statement is possibly wrong.--Golden Wattle talk 23:54, 10 October 2007 (UTC)
- Thanks for raising this. The statement about Amityville 4 being made for television comes from Box Office Mojo at [2]. Since BOM is reckoned to be the best source for release dates, box office gross etc, it may be best to stick with this. As ever when a sourcing problem occurs, there is always room for more research, so any comments would be welcome. --♦IanMacM♦ (talk to me) 18:32, 22 October 2007 (UTC)
