Article Structure

  • Entitle the article with the person's name. If the person is better known by a stage name(e.g 50 Cent), use the stage name for the title.
  • For the images using photos from their Wikipedia pages is generally fine. However, be sure to do the following:
    • Verify that it's permissible to use the image on wiki projects in general or that the image is in the public domain. This will be the case for most images on Wikipedia, but it's better to check than to assume.
    • When you upload the image to Wikisimpsons, provide the appropriate licensing information. Including the URL for the image on Wikipedia would be helpful in case any questions arise about licensing issues.
  • In the body of the article, provide biographical information. However, be reasonable. There's no need to replicate the entire content of someone's Wikipedia article or IMDB entry, for example.
  • Including an Appearances section is fine, even if the guest star appeared in only one episode.
  • Include an "External links" section with links to the person's Wikipedia article and IMDB entry. Other relevant links are also fine, such as the person's official website.
  • At the bottom of the article, add the "Season N Guest Stars" template(s) for the season(s) in which the guest star appeared.

Guest Star Information



At the start of every guest star page there should be an infobox, which shows the guest star's: name, nationality, DoB etc. If the infobox does not have an image please add one.
