A list of participants can be found at Category: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 your user page:

Or, if you wish to use the userbox, add {{User WikiProject Television}} to your user page instead as it includes the above wikicode.

Writing and editing television related articles

Characters and fictional elements

Featured articles

See these featured articles for examples of well written articles on characters and elements from fiction:

Naming a character

There is no guideline or policy about naming an article about a fictional character. See the essay Wikipedia:Naming character articles.

People working in television

Actors, producers, writers etc. are all real people. Turn to WikiProject Biography for help on writing such articles. Here are some quick guidelines and tips for you however.

Notability (people)
Biographies of living persons
Manual of Style/Biography
WikiProject Screenwriters – project dedicated to screenwriters.

Images

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.
