A list of participants can be found atCategory:WikiProject Television participants.
Technically speaking, anyone who edits or contributes to TV related articles is a participant, and there are no requirements other than that. If one wishes one can further identify oneself with the project by listing one's name as a participant. This helps spread the word about the project and can help other editors see what types of articles that user is interested in editing.
To add yourself to the project listing add the following to youruser page:
[[Category:WikiProject Television participants|{{subst:PAGENAME}}]]
Or, if you wish to use the userbox, add{{User WikiProject Television}} to your user page instead as it includes the above wikicode.
This project deals with a lot of television related articles, but they are not all the same. Therefore we have created separate pages with information for each type of television related article.
See thesefeatured articles for examples of well written articles on characters and elements from fiction:
There is no guideline or policy about naming an article about a fictional character. See the essayWikipedia:Naming character articles.
Actors, producers, writers etc. are all real people. Turn toWikiProject Biography for help on writing such articles. Here are some quick guidelines and tips for you however.
As a rule do not create categories for "Peopleby series", because they can potentially work on numerous series or movies etc. You should categorize by profession. See the higher levelCategory:Television actors,Category:Television directors,Category:Television producers,Category:Television writers,Category:Television presenters in the top levelCategory:Television people.
Fair Use images on pages of real people that are still alive are not allowed, because these images are replaceable. You also cannot use an image from a television program,etc., because you are not illustrating the character but the actor.

InceptionBot has been set up to identify new articles that are potentially within the scope of this project, based on the rules defined atUser:AlexNewArtBot/Television. It is likely that some are false positives, in which case the log atUser:AlexNewArtBot/TelevisionLog should be examined for more information.
