Please note that any unnecessary fields may be removed.

Credits

The main part of the article will be the credits section. Each credited role should have it's own section. If there are a large number of credits, then a scroll box should be used.

Navboxes and categories

Many job roles should have a navbox and this should add a category. For a list of current navboxes see Wikisimpsons:Navboxes#Cast & Crew. For a list of categories see Category:Cast and crew.

External links

All crew member should have an IMDB page, linkable through {{IMDB|link}}, where link is everything past "http:www.imdb.com/". Some may have Wikipedia pages, which is applied through {{Wikipedialink}}. Note that no extra info is needed provided Wikipedia's page share's the same title as ours. Other acceptable links include the person's website and their Twitter page.

Other

  • If the article is lacking information, then add {{Crew stub}} to the end of the article.
  • Every crew's talk page should have {{Talkheader}} followed by {{Article Project Crew}}.
