Now to discuss what the contents mean:
 * Title: Pretty self explanatory. Enter the name of the TV, Video Game or Film Series. It is better to highlight a series wiki page or the show with a link to keep your readers interest, as a long description in this section will disinterest them or overwhelm them. (EX. using the Kamen Rider Series wiki page instead of listing them all)
 * Original Network: Exclusive to the TV Templates, you must enter the name of the broadcaster that originally aired the show and other networks that aired it if its a long running franchise or had a different broadcaster during its run in other countries. (EX. Casshern Sins: Adult Swim and Toonami /TV Aichi in Japan)
 * Similar_____: Any media in existence is, at times, bound to have another work with similar characteristics: writing style, concepts or just in the same genre with similar visual aesthetics. For this category, we try to look for its closest counterparts in media and jot them down. (EX. Gekko Kamen: Batman, Guyver: Blue Beetle, Cutie Honey: Power Girl or Wonder Woman, Ultraman: Green Lantern)
 * Main Characters/Notable Characters: This category, for me, is interchangeable. Depending on what you are dealing with, you need to be flexible. If its a long running franchise, listing off all the characters would be very time consuming and make a simple page much larger than it needs to be. If the series has major recurring characters in the franchise, you are better off listing those and linking them to capture your readers interest and let curiosity take it from there. If its a standalone, you list off all the important main and secondary characters integral to the plot of the show.
 * Availability: This one is simply to inform whether or not the media can be purchased online or in stores. In the case of Tokusatsu, this is mostly unobtainable in certain countries unless you enter grey market areas (something we should not encourage), with Ultraman, Kikaider, Godzilla and a few select shows being the exception.
 * Length:The time it takes to finish the material in question. With franchises, you list the run time and number of episodes or film entries if its TV or film. An estimate of Hours it take to finish playing the games if its Video Games. For reading material, list the number of Books or Comics/Manga issues or volumes and then number of pages in each one.
 * Description:This is an IMPORTANT one and is not to be left blank. Describing in a summary, you must tell your readers what the media is, little tidbits of its history, and its story. For large franchises, describe the concept and or history of it.
