    Explanatory supplements

    edit

    All film and television-related articles follow the guidelines established at both MOS:FILM and MOS:TV. There are further guidance for certain aspects of articles created through local consensus as discussed in the following sections.

    Cast sections

    edit

    Film casts

    edit
    Shortcut

    The following steps are utilized when creating the cast list on Marvel Cinematic Universe film articles, as presented by WP:FILMCAST:[a]

    1. As casting announcements begin, actors indicated to be (or possibly be) in starring roles are added to the cast section and infobox as the news is released. The order should generally be based on when actors are revealed, while sequels may use the cast order on past films as a guide. Any additional news regarding supporting roles or actors in unspecified roles are added to a paragraph below the bulleted list and excluded from the infobox.
    2. Once any official billings or press releases by Marvel Studios are released, such as a billing block seen at the bottom of a poster or the end of a trailer, characters are reordered per that billing. An example of a billing block can be seen here. Note that this order should come from Marvel directly, as some news outlets that report on the film may create an arbitrary ordering in their article(s).
    3. Repeat step 1 if additional castings are revealed after an official billing or press release, and then reorder when a new press release/billing is released per step 2.
    4. Once a film is released, the cast list should be reordered a final time based on the main titles at the end or beginning of the film. Ignore any grouped actor names (usually placed just before or after with and and credits) and note that main titles are not the same thing as the end crawl.

    As always, each film is its own unique case and these steps are meant to be followed as a general overview of the process. In some instances, additional local consensus may need to be formed such as with Avengers: Infinity War and Avengers: Endgame due to their exceptionally long cast lists.

    TV casts

    edit
    Shortcut

    Marvel Television series generally follow the guidance as defined by WP:TVCAST for cast definition and order. For both Marvel Television and Marvel Studios series, "recurring" characters are usually defined as either 3 or 4 appearances.

    Marvel Studios are approaching their Disney+ series as if they are feature films (see List of Marvel Cinematic Universe television series § Series approach and this source) in several ways, including how they credit actors for each episode. Unlike conventional television series, the series do not clearly differentiate series regulars, guest stars (regular or "special"), and co-stars. Instead, each episode has one cast list during the credits as well as a main on-end title sequence that gives billing to the series' main actors. To represent this, the series cast sections use a hybrid approach of WP:TVCAST and WP:FILMCAST. Any actor who appears in the main on-end billing is listed in the section's main bulleted list as if they were part of a film poster's "billing block" per WP:FILMCAST, and they are listed in order of first onscreen credit per WP:TVCAST. Additional actors are noted in prose below the main bulleted list as is done in the MCU film articles, with recurring and guest actors included per WP:TVCAST. To create a cast section before the premiere of a series, the methods defined above for the films should be used.[b]

    edit
    Shortcut

    When linking to in-universe subjects, such as a character or element, link to its MCU version instead of its comics version, if possible. Available links can be found at Category:Marvel Cinematic Universe characters, Category:Marvel Cinematic Universe features, and Category:Marvel Cinematic Universe redirects. The use of redirects are cheap, and allows articles to retain their links to MCU-appropriate redirects, should their targets change as new sections or relevant articles are created. MCU-specific links are not "broken" and do not need to be "fixed".

    MCU-specific character and element redirects should point to their corresponding sections on one of the MCU list articles, rather than articles about their comics counterparts.[c] An exception can be made if the section on the MCU list article contains substantially less information than the one on the comics article, or if no section exists on an MCU list article.[d] If an MCU character is based on an obscure or minor character from the comics who is not notable, a (Marvel Cinematic Universe) disambiguator is not needed and the redirect should not point to a comics-specific article, in accordance with WP:PRIMARYTOPIC.[e]

    When creating redirects for an MCU character, element, or location, enter one of the following below the redirect target:

    If a character appears in a TV series listed here, add |series_name2=[series name]. Additional parameters can be found here. Next, create a talk page with the WikiProject tags outlined below. Performing these steps will place the redirect in the appropriate categories.

    Character articles

    edit
    Shortcut
    See also: WP:NFILMCHAR

    There is local consensus that an MCU character only warrants its own article if one or more of the following criteria is met:[j]

    The criteria for appearances is to provide a clearly delineated standard for justifying these articles as separate from their comics counterparts. There is no deadline that needs to be met for such articles. Such articles should be incubated in draftspace until they meet this criteria and satisfy WP:GNG, including being discussed in reliable sources beyond a trivial mention. Focus on real world details such as the casting, characterization and reception of the character. Once a draft for a character seems ready for mainspace, a discussion should be held on either the draft's talkpage, the taskforce talkpage, or at Talk:Characters of the Marvel Cinematic Universe to establish consensus on the readiness of the draft, upon which the draft will be moved to mainspace by a page mover. Submitting the draft to AfC is neither necessary nor advisable, as AfC reviewers may not be aware of this task force's local consensus.

    Tagging and assessment

    edit

    Any articles that are within the scope of this project should be tagged with the relevant project banners of WikiProject Film ({{WikiProject Film}}) or WikiProject Television ({{WikiProject Television}}). You may also find {{WikiProject banner shell}} useful. To each of these banners, you should add |mcu=yes as this will automatically put the page in the appropriate categories, such as Category:Marvel Cinematic Universe task force articles.

    Nominating articles for Good Article status

    edit
    Shortcut

    As a rule of thumb, feature films can be considered for Good Article nomination six months after their initial release. When there was an MCU films Good Topic, part of the retention requirements to keep the topic at its status was that new films would need to be nominated by one month after their physical home media release.[k] Before the COVID-19 pandemic, this one month after the physical home media release equated to about six months after the U.S. theatrical release date. While there are currently no longer any featured or good topics for MCU content, and a film's release to home media is happening sooner, the six-month time frame is still a good guidance to consider.

    This time frame could also apply to any Disney+ limited series and subsequent episode articles for such series. For ongoing series, the "main" article (i.e. Loki) should wait until at least the creation of a second season article to consider nominating, given that the "main" article will likely go through restructuring and splitting of content to season-specific articles. Seasons and episodes of ongoing series (i.e. Loki season 1 and its episodes) can likely also follow the six months guidance.
