[edit] Common subarticles

• /Characters
• /Episodes
• /Cast and crew
• /Broadcasting
• /Awards
• /DVD releases

Each subarticle must have a template like the following at the top: (the variables might change according to the particular needs of the show)

{{subtv |
| root       =  [[SHOW]]
| 1          =  [[SHOW/Characters|Characters]]
| 3          =  [[SHOW/Episodes|Episodes]]
| 4          =  [[SHOW/Cast and crew|Cast and crew]]
| 5          =  [[SHOW/Broadcasting|Broadcasting]]
| 6          =  [[SHOW/Awards|Awards]]
| 7          =  [[SHOW/DVD releases|DVD releases]]
| 20         =  [[SHOW/Merchandise|Merchandise]]
|}}

Single characters or episodes get independent articles. (unless the characters are too minor)

Examples:

• Cosmo Kramer
• Rachel Green
• Homer Simpson
• The einfeld Chronicles
• Task Force X (Justice League Unlimited)

When the name of the episode or character coincides with the name of some other article disambiguation is needed, so a parenthesis with the name of the series or the word "character" is added.
