People

For actors, writers, characters, and the like, the following infobox templates may apply:

• {{Infobox character}} should be used for a fictional character.

List article templates

For episode list articles, use the following:

• {{Series overview}} creates the series overview table. Should be used if there are 2 or more seasons.
• {{Episode table}} creates the table and table headings for a list article.
• {{Episode list}} creates the individual items/rows in an episode table (this is a submodule when {{Episode table}} is used).
