If an article does not already exist with the name of the television series, episode title, or character name for which you are trying to create an article, then simply use the name of the subject as the article title (e.g. Carnivàle, Pauline Fowler or "Cape Feare").
If an article already exists with the name of a television series that you are trying to create, use one of the following disambiguators as necessary:
Article titles for television series are properly italicized as long as {{}} is used in the article. If not, {{|string=Show Name}} or {{}} may be used. The former has the advantage of continuing to work in case the disambiguation suffix is changed or removed from the article's title.
If an article already exists with the name of an episode title or character, then the title of the article should contain the name of the episode or character followed by (SERIES NAME): Episode/Character name (SERIES NAME) (e.g. "Through the Looking Glass" (Lost) or Spike (Buffy the Vampire Slayer). In order for an article with this disambiguation to properly stylize, you must use the {{}} template.
Disambiguation for list of episodes or list of characters articles may or may not need to be used, depending on if other list articles exist. (e.g. NCIS: New Orleans and List of NCIS: New Orleans episodes; The Flash (2014 TV series) and List of The Flash episodes; Mistresses (U.S. TV series) and List of Mistresses (U.S. TV series) episodes, and Mistresses (UK TV series) and List of Mistresses (UK TV series) episodes). Once again, in order for an article with this disambiguation to properly stylize, you must use the {{}} template.
