Wikipedia:WikiProject Television/Episode coverage task force
This is a task force of WikiProject Television for the coverage of episode related content (as opposed to over-all show information, or other general TV article). This includes Lists of episodes, season / series / story arc articles, and individual episode articles.
This task force is the result of merging WP:TVE and WP:LOE. You will find all those guidelines, templates, and advice on this page, as well as new information. This was done to better organize all articles relating to episode-level detail.
To include articles in this task force, add episode-coverage=Yes to {{WikiProject Television}} on the article's talk page. To assess articles for this task force add for example, episode-coverage-importance=low after including the articles as part of the task force.
See also WP:NTVEP for guidance on writing articles on individual television episodes.

Article assessment
[mali mi di yibu sheena n-niŋ]Ŋun su:WP 1.0 bot/Tables/Project/Episode coverage Some advice regarding television episode article assessment:
- Top-importance episodes have attained a status of significant importance not just to a single television series, but to the history of television or pop culture at large. Examples: "The Winds of Winter" (Game of Thrones), "The Last Show" (Mary Tyler Moore Show)
- High-importance episodes are very important or notable in the context of an individual series, and has gained recognition to general audiences outside of that series as well. Examples: "The Contest" (Seinfeld), "Made in America" (The Sopranos)
- Mid-importance episodes may have particular significance in the context of an individual show, but has not necessarily gained significant importance outside of that series. Examples: "The One with Ross's Wedding" (Friends), "Scott Tenorman Must Die" (South Park)
- Low-importance episodes are not of any particular importance, within the context of the series of the individual series or otherwise, but still satisfy Wikipedia's notability guidelines. Examples: "Ron and Tammy" (Parks and Recreation), "Lemon of Troy" (The Simpsons)
