WikiProject on ITC Productions

[edit] Scope

Many pages related to the television productions of ITC Entertainment have a great deal of information missing, are incorrect, are stubs and have no relative order between them. Some productions have no page on Wikipedia at all. The ITC Productions project has therefore been formed to create a generic look for the pages which appear on the ITC Entertainment Productions category page.

[edit] News

Due to the discussion on WP:SFD, the stub and category formally named ITC Entertainment stub and Category:ITC Entertainment stubs have been renamed to {{ITCDistributions-stub}} and Category:ITC Distributions stubs. I also took this opportunity to rename the category Category:ITC Entertainment Productions to Category:ITC Distributions The old category redirects to the new one.

All the articles which were ITC stubs and/or were in the ITC Entertainment Prods. category have all been changed to follow the new ITC Distributions naming standard. Howie ☎ 13:23, 13 December 2005 (UTC)

[edit] Structure

For a set layout, see the template provided below. A good ITC page should include the following:

Add a television infobox on each page
Add a major cast list
Add a regular guest cast list
Add production details
Number of Episodes
Created by

[edit] Goals

Create an informative article, which has some indepth information about the production, the synopsis, the cast, the music and style.
Also include some trivia - such as the information about Austin Powers on the Department S page, for example.
Make sure each page has an infobox with a picture of the DVD release sleeve - preferably Region 2 European covers, as the UK is where these series originated.
Make each related page have a similar layout so that there is eventually a universal page layout for these entries.

[edit] Adopt an article

Similar to the Collaboration of the week, but on a smaller scale, you might want to "adopt" an article. This would involve doing the research, writing, and picture-taking (if possible) for either a non-existent article or a stub. Of course, everyone else can still edit an adopted article, and you can work on other things too, but the idea is to find a focus for a while, to try and build up the number of quality articles the Project has produced.

Department S: User:HowardBerry
The Champions - needs to have layout updated and general cleanup, especially in the lower half of the article!

[edit] New Wikipedia articles related to ITC Productions

Captain Scarlet vs the Mysterons, the terrible 1981 re-edit job, is now up as a stub. ➨ ❝REDVERS❞ 14:46, 12 November 2005 (UTC)
- I don't believe this one is worthy of a separate article. IMO it should be merged with the TV series article. I don't think there should be separate articles on the Space:1999 re-edits either as in my opinion they are covered sufficiently in the main article. This one runs the risk of being marked for AFD as a potential duplicate of the TV series article. 23skidoo 14:59, 12 November 2005 (UTC)
  - Okay. Propose it on AfD and see what people think. ➨ ❝REDVERS❞ 15:11, 12 November 2005 (UTC)
    - I didn't say I would, but having spent a lot of time at AFD this is the type of article that would likely be nominated. I would probably vote merge with the TV series article if this were to occur. 23skidoo 15:27, 12 November 2005 (UTC)
      - I think a merge would be a good idea. Same goes for The Persuaders! edit jobs if any are still out there. I know there's certainly a redirect page for Mission: Monte Carlo (goes to the main Persuaders! article). HowardBerry 17:11, 12 November 2005 (UTC) (I still have that Capt.Scarlet re-edit on video!)
