This is a [[WP:TASKFORCE|task force]] of '''[[Wikipedia:WikiProject Television|WikiProject Television]]''' for the coverage of episode related content (as opposed to over-all show information, or other general TV article). This includes ''Lists of episodes'', season / series / story arc articles, and individual episode articles.

This task force is the result of merging [[WP:TVE]] and [[WP:LOE]]. You will find all those guidelines, templates, and advice on this page, as well as new information. This was done to better organize all articles relating to episode-level detail.

To include articles in this task force, add <code>episode-coverage=Yes</code> to {{tl|WikiProject Television}} on the article's talk page. To assess articles for this task force add for example, <code>episode-coverage-importance=low</code> after including the articles as part of the task force.

==Article assessment==

{{User:WP 1.0 bot/Tables/Project/TelevisionEpisode episodecoverage}}

Some advice regarding television episode article assessment:

*'''Top-importance''' episodes have attained a status of significant importance not just to a single television series, but to the history of television or pop culture at large. Examples: "[[JobThe SwitchingWinds of Winter (Game of Thrones)|The Winds of Winter]]" (''[[IGame Loveof LucyThrones]]''), "[[The Last Show (Mary Tyler Moore Show episode)|The Last Show]]" (''[[Mary Tyler Moore Show]]'')

*'''High-importance''' episodes are very important or notable in the context of an individual series, and has gained recognition to general audiences outside of that series as well. Examples: "[[The Contest]]" (''[[Seinfeld]]''), "[[Made in America (The Sopranos)|Made in America]]" (''[[The Sopranos]]'')

*'''Mid-importance''' episodes may have particular significance in the context of an individual show, but has not necessarily gained significant importance outside of that series. Examples: "[[The One with Ross's Wedding]]" (''[[Friends]]''), "[[Scott Tenorman Must Die]]" (''[[South Park]]'')

===Templates===

* '''{{tl|Episode list}}'''

** Simplifies the method of creating new lists in a table format, using the project's recommended layout. Participants are encouraged to begin applying them to episode lists.

* For lists that only list titles and air dates, etc., and do not include summaries, remove {{Para|ShortSummary}}, which will remove the summary cell, colored line separator and default cell coloring.

*'''{{tl|Japanese episode list}}'''

* '''Please be sure to use {{Tl|Start date}} for the first-broadcast date of each episode.'''

**For [[anime]] and other Japanese-related episodes. Provides the same options as the above template, but with Japanese specific parameters (such as "KanjiTitle", etc) for ease of use.

*For lists that only list titles and air dates, etc, and do not include summaries, remove {{Para|ShortSummary}}, which will remove the summary cell, colored line separator and default cell coloring.

*'''Please be sure to use {{Tl|Start date}} for the first-broadcast date of each episode.'''
