-'''Basic Requirements'''
+{{resize|150%|'''Basic requirements'''}}
-* First comes the infobox ([[Template:Infobox Comic|template for comic strips containing a Doctor]] and [[Template:Infobox Other Comics| template for comic strips not containing a Doctor]] (both these articles contain usage information see them for more information).
+Before writing an article you should consider what information is available, as you may not have enough information to write a '''valid''' article.
-* The infobox contains basic information such as Series the Comic story is part of, Doctor, Companions, Setting, Published In, Publication title, Publication date and information on colourist, lettering, writer, artist and editor.
+At the very least, a '''valid''' article should have a Summary, Character list, the correct infobox and information to fill out a majority of the fields of the infobox (see below). It should also have the correct layout for a comic story as detailed below.
+Please do not attempt to write a comic story article if you are unable to provide these.
+Please also, if you do not have the necessary information or time to complete any of the other headings or sub-headings listed below, please include them and add <nowiki>''to be added''</nowiki> below the sub-headings so that other editors may add to them when more information becomes available.
+By the very nature of a wiki all the other information will eventually be completed. No one here is expected to go it alone.
+* First onto the article is the the infobox; [[Template:Infobox Comic|infobox for comic strips containing a Doctor]] and [[Template:Infobox Other Comics|infobox for comic strips not containing a Doctor]]. Follow the links for a copyable version of the infobox, the page also has an explanation of all the fields in the infobox.
+* The infobox contains basic information such as; Series the Comic story is part of, Doctor, Companions, Setting, Published In, Publication title, Publication date and information on colourist, lettering, writer, artist and editor.
