Structure
TV and Radio Episodes
All episodes must have an infobox in the style of template below. Also, they must have a brief synopsis without spoilers and a fully detailed plot with spoilers and ending details. The page must also include a list of the main cast, e.g. Mainwaring, Mrs Pike, the Vicar etc, but not extras, for example the back rows of the platoon. Finally, you may add any notes that you believe are important about the episode in question. For example: This episode is lost or this episode was meant to be broadcast on the... or perhaps even trivia, such as the specific filming locations. Please use The Man and the Hour (first episode of Dad's army) page as a guide.

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.
