[edit] Scope

This WikiProject's primarily goal is to improve and organize articles relating to the BBC television sitcom Dad's Army.

[edit] Structure

[edit] 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.

For a full describtion of what should be in each section of the episode pages see WikiProject Dad's Army/Episode Structure.

[edit] Goals

  1. To create detailed pages on all Dad's Army TV and radio episodes.
  2. Improve all articles so they may get nominated as a GA or a FA.


[edit] 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.

[edit] Infoboxes

[edit] Episode Infobox

042 - Keep Young and Beautiful

Script Jimmy Perry and David Croft
Director David Croft
Producer David Croft
Recorded Friday 9/6/72
Original transmission Friday 13/10/72 8.30pm
Series Five
Length 30 minutes
Original Viewing Figures 16 million
Preceded by Asleep in the Deep
Followed by A Soldier's Farewell

This is how the userbox should be filed in twice on each episode page (one for the TV episode and one for the audio episode, for information on what the page should look like and where the infoboxes go take a look at The Desperate Drive of Lance Corporal Jones page). If you want the original template go to {{Infobox Dad's Army}}. If you need any help using it then just click on the link to the template and on the page there is a usage box which you just need to copy and fill in.


[edit] Character Infobox

Dad's Army character
Image:Captain Mainwaring.jpg
Captain George Mainwaring
Affiliated with Home Guard
Occupation Bank Manager
First appearance The Man and the Hour
Last appearance Never Too Old
Portrayed by Arthur Lowe

This is how the userbox should be filed in on each character page. If you want the original template go to {{Dad's Army character}}. For an example page on how this infobox should be used see List of characters in Dad's Army and click on any of the character names for the infobox, it's best to click on one of the main character pages i.e platoon members, as they definitely all have complete infoboxes. If you need any help using it then just click on the link to the template and on the page there is a usage box which you just need to copy and fill in.
