Below are instructions for improving film articles from one class to another. Every element does not have to be met if other areas of the article are more developed.
Stub to Start-Class upgrading instructions for films
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.)
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 and comply with
WP:FILMNFI. (An image is not required for start class if unavailable.)
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, marketing, sequels, controversy, DVD release, video games, etc.)
Categories (by year, country, language, and genre(s))
Statements that may be questioned by a reader over their verifiability must be referenced with an
inline citation, preferably using
citation templates. Cite any quotes, box office figures, movie reviews, production notes, and any questionable statements.
The article should be broad in coverage, and should have at least six sections of information (plot, cast, and four others: production, reception, DVD release, soundtrack, differences between TV show/book, sequels, themes, awards/honors, etc.). Remember to cite information within these sections.
