Revision as of 16:28, 30 November 2021
This is an example of an episode layout.
| "Episode Name" | |
|---|---|
 | |
| Season/Series: | Season # |
| Original Airdate: |  US Airdate (November 9, 2011) Canada Airdate UK Airdate Australian Airdate Korean Airdate German Airdate (Remember to cite your sources!) |
| Episodes | |
| Previous "Episode before this (Automatically links to it)" |
Next "Episode after this (Automatically links to it)" |
- If this episode shares it's name with an Arthur book, DVD, or VHS, use {{youmay}} to distinguish them
Use {{EpisodeHeader}} here. Do not manually write an intro.
Summary
2-3 sentence summary that describes the basic setup of the episode. This summary should be from an official source. It should match the one on the season page.
Plot
The plot section should be properly spaced, well-written, easy to read, and not leave out important details. Write what the characters are doing, why they're doing it, where they are, etc.
Here, write everything that happens before the title card.
The remainder of this section should give detailed accounts of what took place. The guide should follow along with the episode. Write the events in the order they happen. Start a new paragraph when a new scene happens, such as the location changing.
Characters
All characters that appeared in this episode should be here somewhere. Sort them under the appropriate category.
Major
These characters have an important role in this episode.
Minor
These characters are still important to the plot, but are not the main focus. A good way to decide if a character is minor is to ask, "How would the story change if they weren't in the episode?"
Cameo
These characters are seen, but don't speak.
Mentioned
These characters are mentioned by someone that appears on screen but don't appear.
Gallery
Put promotional images, screenshots, and video clips from the official Arthur YouTube channel. Separate them with sub-headers. If there are a lot of images, use {{CollapsingGallery}}. If the episode has a separate gallery page, use {{Main|Episode Title/Gallery}}.
Trivia
- General facts or observations about the episode. Use specific sub-sections of the trivia header when your trivia applies to one. Here are some examples of trivia:
- It is revealed that Mr. Ratburn was in a rock band known as the "Ratburn Rats."
- If an episode has a moral put it in.
- Emily finds two eggs, Vicita finds three eggs, and D.W. and Bud each find seven eggs.
- In German, this episode is called "Agentin Doppel-X," which translates to "Agent Double-X."
- Bad examples of trivia are this:
- This is the fifty-sixth episode to feature Pal. (This is arbitrary and too minor.)
- This episode ends with Arthur yelling. (This sound go in the plot section instead.)
- Although Muffy appears in the episode, Francine is absent./(Character) doesnt appear in this episode. (Again, this is not needed. Saying that a character is not in an episode is ridiculous, and you can already infer this from the characters list.)
Cultural references
- Intentional references to real-life things, like The War of the Worlds, go here.
- Parodies of real-life things, like Keeping Up with the Kamerahounds, also go here. Be sure to say what the source material is.
Episode connections
- Use this when an episode does a continuity nod or call-back to an earlier one, either verbally or physically. Here are some examples:
- D.W.'s snowball is mentioned again.
- Arthur mentions that Buster was in the birdwatching club, which is a reference to "For the Birds."
- The marzipan cake topper from "The Secret Life of Dogs and Babies" can be seen in the opening to this episode.
Goofs
- Mistakes made during this episode.
References
Use {{reflist}} in this section. Be sure to cite your summary and airdate with <ref>Link to your source</ref>.
Now put an episode navbox. Make sure it's at the very bottom of the page. Use {{EpisodeNav|season number}}.
