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 [[Arthur|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.

The Episode Title is the first half of the 1st episode of Season #. It first aired on November 9, 2011 with EPISODEITAIREDWITH.

Summary

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

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. Also use good grammar.

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)

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.

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".

Minor Roles

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.

Cameos

These characters were seen, but either didn't speak or only spoke at the same thing with other people (such as cheering or laughing). Background characters that don't have names, cannot be credited unless they have been seen in numerous episodes.

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.
