Use {{EpisodeHeader}} here. Do not manually write an intro.

Summary[edit]

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[edit]

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 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. Write the events in the order they happen. Start a new paragraph when a new scene happens, such as the location changing.

Characters[edit]

All characters that appeared in this episode should be here somewhere. Sort them under the appropriate category.

Major/Greater/Main[edit]

She/he have an important role in this episode.

Minor/Secondary[edit]

She/he is still important to the plot, but are not the main focus.

Cameo/Background[edit]

She/he are seen, but don't speak or speak in unison with other characters.

Mentioned[edit]

She/he are mentioned by someone that appears on screen but don't appear.

Trivia[edit]

  • 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."
    • 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."
  • Then you can put Karma, Running Gag, Moral, Timeline, Cartoon physics, Forshadowing, Irony, or Innuendo.
  • 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 should 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/References[edit]

Episode connection(s)[edit]

  • Use this when an episode does a call-back to an earlier one, either verbally or physically. Here are some examples:

Goof(s)/Error(s)[edit]

  • Mistakes made during this episode.

Production note(s)[edit]

Differences from the book[edit]

  • Differences between the book and the episode.

Gallery[edit]

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}}. Do not put a screenshot sub-header when there's nothing but screenshots!

References/Sources[edit]

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}}.
