Guidelines[edit]
- Use only one category as the categories will be linked as subcategories.
- DO NOT add a film where the book was written AFTER the film was made; those should go inFilm spin-offs.
To do[edit]
1. See theWorklistfor links to film articles which need to be checked:
- Is it really based on written material, and is that material mentioned in the text or links?
- Are the film and source material articles separate, or does the article need splitting?
- Does it have the appropriate category/ies?
- Is it listed on the appropriate source list (see below)?
- Remove the article's link from theWorklistwhen you have finished with it.
2. Update various lists in theLists of films by sourcecategory.
Categories[edit]
- Category:Films based on books- All films based on a book would have this category.
- Category:Films based on works by writer
