Tardis:Format for comic stories

This is a tutorial for writing entries for comic stories

Basic requirements Before writing an article you should consider what information is available, as you may not have enough information to write a valid article.

At the very least, a valid article should have a Summary, Character list, the correct infobox and information to fill out a majority of the fields of the infobox (see below). It should also have the correct layout for a comic story as detailed below.

Please do not attempt to write a comic story article if you are unable to provide these.

Please also, if you do not have the necessary information or time to complete any of the other headings or sub-headings listed below, please include them and add to be added below the sub-headings so that other editors may add to them when more information becomes available.

By the very nature of a wiki all the other information will eventually be completed. No one here is expected to go it alone.


 * First onto the article is the the infobox; infobox for comic strips containing a Doctor and infobox for comic strips not containing a Doctor. Follow the links for a copyable version of the infobox, the page also has an explanation of all the fields in the infobox.
 * The infobox contains basic information such as; Series the Comic story is part of, Doctor, Companions, Setting, Published In, Publication title, Publication date and information on colourist, lettering, writer, artist and editor.

Summary

 * A short summary of the comic story.

Characters

 * This is a list of all the primary characters.
 * You can also place information pertaining to characters that does not fit within the 'references' list. (Indent and bullet point by using  :* )

Continuity

 * Continuity refers to the links between stories and this comic story's links to them, for in-universe links use the References section.


 * Tie-ins between this comic story and other stories be them other novels, TV stories, audios, comic stories or other media.
 * These should be listed (in the same manner to any other story) with the prefix of the story's group followed by the story's title in italics, it does not need to be in brackets.

Timeline

 * Timeline refers to all Doctor Who media and attempts to place this story within the timeline

The timeline should be written something like this:


 * (page story title) occurs after: (prefix): (story title)
 * (page story title) occurs before: (prefix): (story title)
