Horror Film Wiki:Scope

Notability
The primary factor in deciding whether a film should be included in this wiki is whether or not it has been published. If the film cannot be found on shelves, is not distributed, cannot be found on IMDB, was never featured in a film festival, has never won an award, or was never popularized, then it probably does not belong here.

Films exclusively released on the internet (fan-films, featurettes, etc.) should not be included in this wiki. However, if a film's DVD release provides content related to these topics, then information regarding the short film or an external link to such a film is allowed. Viral videos should only be considered if they are released as official featurettes.

Film inclusion
This wiki focuses on horror films. Movies that are allowed and should be on this wiki must strive to elicit fear, horror, or terror from viewers. Films that fit into several genres or a single hybrid genre are allowed as well, such as horror thrillers. Films with that strongly fit into a different genre, but contain horrific elements, such as gore, should be excluded (i.e. Braveheart or war films).

Character inclusion
If a film is allowed on this wiki, then any character from that film is allowed to have its own page as well, however the significance of the character can be debated and the information may better be placed on the film's page or a character page for the film.

Director inclusion
Director pages should exist as category pages with extended descriptions. Directors should only have their own page if they have at least one movie that has been allowed for inclusion on this wiki.

Actor inclusion
Actors with multiple horror film appearances (i.e. horror icons) should have their own page with details concerning their biography and specific appearances in horror films. Additional films and trivia should be excluded, as these can be covered by other wikis (i.e. Wikipedia).

Supplemental material inclusion
Some film franchises have spawned literature, such as comics, that give additional details and new continuities. These works should not be included in this wiki as their own entity. Details from these works should be omitted, as they have no relation to the events that take place in the films. Canonical works, even official pieces, should be excluded under the same reasons.
