Style guide

This is only a draft and should not be considered policy.

The Twilight Zone is an American show and therefore all the pages related to the show should use American spelling.

Italicize when referring to TV shows such as The Twilight Zone and use quotes when referring to a single episode. For example, "The Monsters Are Due on Maple Street" is the an episode of The Twilight Zone.

Using the template Template:Infobox television episode creates this infobox:

Quick Facts "WikiProject Television/The Twilight Zone task force" ...

After creating the box, the following parameters (or information) may be inserted into the infobox so that it will appear during editing as:
