| | "'''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. ([[Arthur (season 1)|1]], [[Arthur (season 2)|2]], etc.) Make sure that this section contains NO SPOILERS, save that for the next section. | |||
==Plot Outline== | |||
[[File:1x01a_DW_Flashlight.png|thumb|You can use up to three images for the plot outline section, just make sure they have captions and are spaced out.]] | |||
Here, give everything that happens before the intertitle appears. Make sure it is free of typos and it easy to understand. | |||
The | :'''''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. | ||

: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== | |||
[[File:1x01_interstitial.png|thumb|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 fine; a caption is optional]] | |||
Give the basic outline of a what happened during the interstitial. Do not give EVERYTHING that happened. Use sentences such as "A girl says Arthur did the right thing". It is best to name the school or location, if it is given. | |||
==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. | |||
{| class="wikitable" | |||
|- | |||
| valign="top" width="33%"|'''Major Roles''' | |||
The focal character should have his name '''bolded'''. These characters had an important role in this episode. Arthur will not always be here. An example of this would be in the episode "World Girls". | |||
*'''[[Arthur Read |Arthur]]''' | |||
*[[Francine Frensky|Francine]] | |||
*[[Buster Baxter|Buster]] | |||
*[[]] | |||
*[[]] | |||

These characters did not have a significant role, but were heard speaking They don't necessarily have to be seen. An example would be Francine's mom in [[Francine's Bad Hair Day]]. | |||
*[[Binky Barnes|Binky]] | |||

These characters were seen, but either didn't speak or only spoke at the same thing with other people.. (cheering, oohing and aahing, etc.) Background characters that don't have names, cannot be credited unless they have been seen in numerous episodes. | |||
*[[Jenna Morgan|Jenna]] | |||

===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.) Additionally, a real life photo of the celebrity could be placed to the right of the character list. | |||
===Historical figures=== | |||
This should be used when a historical figure is shown on screen, whether portrayed as a Binky or Arthur lookalike or not. For instance, Arthur wondered about Ben Franklin in [[Arthur's Spelling Trubble]], so he would be listed here. School plays do not count. | |||

==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. All Season 10 and 11 episodes are available in the US under the complete series boxset. | |||
