Arthur Wiki:Episode layout

This is an example of an episode layout

The Name of Episode
Season	Current season: should link to it
Episode no.	Number, followed by letter
Date aired	When it originally aired
Episode Guide
Previous Episode that aired before this	Next Episode that aired after this

If this episode shares it's name with an Arthur book, use {{seebook}} 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

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 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

Captions are 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". 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. It is best to name the school or location, if it is given.

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.

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 Francine Buster [[]] [[]] [[]]

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. Binky Muffy [[]] [[]] [[]] [[]]]

Cameos 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 Fern [[]] [[]]

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.
