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: Wikipedia: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.

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] Requested Move

The following discussion is an archived discussion of the proposal. Please do not modify it. Subsequent comments should be made in a new section on the talk page. No further edits should be made to this section.

Why is the official title "Disney's The Kid?" It's weird. I mean, it wasn't MGM's Gone With The Wind, or Miramax's Pulp Fiction, or Universal's Back To The Future. I don't get it. --Jnelson09 23:04, 29 March 2007 (UTC)

This should be moved back to "The Kid (2000 film)". The movie's title is "The Kid" and it is not "Disney's The Kid". All films that are require disambiguation use the year released and the word film. There is no reason why we don't do it here. Vivaldi (talk) 01:58, 21 April 2007 (UTC)

Comment; I agree that the article should be at The Kid (2000 film), because most people refer to this film as "The Kid". However, the correct title of the film is "Disney's The Kid". IMDb doesn't list it as that because they have a policy of removing author/creator/studio names when they are part of the title. If you look at the IMDb page, they do actually say that "Disney's The Kid" is the complete title. Masaruemoto 21:07, 25 April 2007 (UTC)

The above discussion is preserved as an archive of the proposal. Please do not modify it. Subsequent comments should be made in a new section on this talk page. No further edits should be made to this section.

WP:NC(F) is largely silent on the matter, but does not explicitly mandate any but the official title of a film. It may be argued that WP:NC(CN) overrules this (especially given IMDb's treatment of the title), but this would need broader input before being implemented. Perhaps bring the issue up at WP:FILM. It was requested that this article be renamed but there was no consensus for it be moved.

[edit] Expert

I say an expert needs to rewrite this plot summary, it's all sorts of bad grammar. Lots42 (talk) 02:05, 29 March 2008 (UTC)
