Editing Guidelines

Please remember these guidelines when editing a film article:

If a non-film article already exists with the name of the film that you are trying to create an article for, disambiguate and use (film) in the title: Film Title (film)
- For more information see: Wikipedia:Naming conventions (films)
When writing an article about a particular film, the general format should be a concise lead section, followed by a plot summary of no more than 900 words, production details, a cast list, a reception section, and references.
Create an Infobox that tells all pertinent information about the film.

How is The H-Man a tie-in film? Deleted.

Is it entirely appropriate to include the creators (Tanaka, Tsuburaya, Honda, Ifukube) in this template? Their careers have all encompassed so much more than their contributions to the Godzilla franchise, and it seems especially inappropriate to end the four articles on them with this template.—4.131.46.35 18:15, 31 December 2005 (UTC)

The Creators are gone from the template (though they may return); Bambi Meets Godzilla doesn't seem to warrant mention any more than Daniel Dumile (alias "King Geedorah"), as it's unofficial fan use. Probably more contentiously, the "Tie-In Films" incorporate movies into the franchise that have contributed daikaiju and been worked into storylines—from Mothra vs. Godzilla incorporating the events of Mothra to Godzilla: Final Wars incorporating elements from Gorath. By now i'll argue that the "Film Franchise" definitely includes these films as well. (See the review of Godzilla: Tokyo S.O.S. at GojiStomp for some specifics.)

Another point: The template is getting pretty hefty; should it be broken into a strict "Film Franchise" template and a "Merchandise" (comics, TV, maybe even daikaiju) template?

As the one who started this template, it upsets me to see it shortened down to just four links. I know it needs to be a specificaly "Film Franchise" template, but only having the original and the crap film being the only ones on there? That's just weak...--FigmentJedi 22:21, 10 November 2006 (UTC)

If the template includes Godzilla: The Series under American Productions, why not The Godzilla Power Hour? Lusanaherandraton 04:17, 6 June 2006 (UTC)
