Arthur Wiki:Episode layout

This is an example of an episode layout 


 * ''If this episode shares it's name with an Arthur book, use to distinguish them

"The Episode Title" should go here followed by the episode number. After this, give its airdate and linked episode (if there is one). Then, briefly describe the theme of the episode (moving, peer pressure, lying, death). Mention if it is based off a book. Lastly, give the name of the writer following by the name(s) of the storyboard editor(s).

Premise
2-3 sentence summary that describes the basic setup of the episode. This should be the same that is on each seasonal page. (1, 2, etc.) Make sure that this section contains NO SPOILERS, save that for the next section.

Plot Outline
Here, give everything that happens before the intertitle appears. Make sure it is free of typos and it easy to understand.


 * The Title of the Episode

The remainder of this section should give detailed accounts of what took place. The guide should follow along with the episode.

Start a new paragraph after a major change, such as in location. Start a new paragraph after a major change, such as in location. Start a new paragraph after a major change, such as in location. Start a new paragraph after a major change, such as in location. Start a new paragraph after a major change, such as in location. Start a new paragraph after a major change, such as in location.


 * Indent, whenever a character daydreams/dreams/imagines something for a significant amount of time. Do not use if the imagination used a thought bubble or if it lasted for a brief amount of time. If the entire episode is a flashback or story, do not use for that particular flashback or story, instead use when a story/flashback is told within that story/flashback. (story-within-a-story)

A Word from Us Kids
Give the basic outline of a what happened during the interstitial. It is best to name the school or location, if it is given. Do not give EVERYTHING that happened. Use sentences such as "A girl says Arthur did the right thing". There shouldn't be more that one image in this section, unless it is a Postcards from You segment, where in that case, two pictures would be acceptable. .

Please Note: This section is only for the first half of episodes (21a, not 21b). If the episode is the second half, do not include this section. Only type "See Linked episode" in the infobox at the top. For hour long episodes, this section should be in the middle of the plot outline section. Everything before it goes above it and everything that happened after the interstitial goes beneath it.

Characters
All characters that appeared in this episode should be here somewhere. If you cannot tell if a certain character appeared, (far ahead, obscured) do not include them.

Special guest star
This should be used when someone is given this credit and the end of an episode, or if they are of notable importance (Alex Trebek, Matt Damon, etc.) Please note that some episodes say "Special guest appearance". Additionally, a real life photo of the celebrity could be placed to the right of the character list.

Quotes

 * Noahcs: Use this setup!


 * Francine: What did you say!?!
 * Binky: Uhhh...


 * Arthur: Guess what?
 * D.W.: What?
 * Arthur: This section should not be unflowing with quotes, just the notable ones
 * D.W.: But what if there are a lot of memorable quotes?
 * Arthur: You'll have to pick and choose.
 * D.W.: But I can't count!

Goofs

 * Mistakes made during this episode.
 * Don't be silly with the goofs such as:
 * Binky doesn't have pupils
 * All the test papers were nothing but scribbles
 * It's impossible for Arthur to walk on the world in the opening title.

Awards and nominations
This section should be rarely used. Only if the episode won or was nominated for some kind of award, or received some kind of honor. It must be episode-specific, not if a season won an award. Big Horns George is an example.

Reviews
This section should also be rarely used. Only if some non-fanpage website has reviewed an Arthur episode. If any exist, they will be of recent episodes.

Home video
This should list if the episode was released, as itself or as a whole, on VHS, DVD, or Blu-Ray. Most early episodes are available on VHS. All Season 10 and 11 episodes are available in the United States under their complete season boxsets.
