Sample Series Template

Series Summary

Here is where a summary of the contents of a series should be placed. It should be explanatory enough that someone with no idea of what any of the series listed here would be able to understand. (i.e. Assume no one has previous knowledge of lonelygirl15 or KateModern.)

Notes regarding this template

• The series name is nowhere except the Page Name
• A short summary of the series should exist somewhere on the page, as shown above.
• This template is to be used ONLY on videos Tier 3 or above, and if you can get away with not using it, please do.
  • A good example not needing this template is for series with only a few authors. For such a case, only a listing of the videos should be necessary, as the authors can be explained in detail above the video section.

List of Videos instructions:

• Videos should be listed as direct links to the video, unless they are transcribed. Transcriptions are not recommended, but if they exist, there should be NO direct links to the video. In essence, any of the following are a no-no:

Video name ([external_link])
[[transcript|Video name]] ([external_link])

• Authors linked are the individual posting the video, and should NOT reflect the account it was posted on. (Links only exist if the authors have their page/sub-section of a page.)
  • Authors are only necessary if there are a significant number of different authors of videos for the series.
• Previous seasons should follow a consistent naming convention, with nothing on the page other than a list of the videos and a link to the main series page. The season pages should be a subpage of the series itself. (If possible, keep previous seasons to a single page listing EVERY previous video, not those from a given season.)
