Making a Show

On the Wiki Channel Wiki, you can make a show to join the channel's line up. Making a show is a very long process as shows are very valuable to the channel and we want to make sure only the best of the best get approve. But that doesn't mean we don't want to hear your ideas! The procedure below tells how shows are picked up.

Pitching the show.
First to pitch your show, you go to the Pitches board and you pitch the show. Please give the following details:
 * A summary of the show
 * A explain a few characters who will be in it
 * Describe how the show will be (in terms of it's format, situations, etc.)

Anyone can reply to the thread and say what they think about the show. The entire community discusses it, tweaks it if we need to, and we eventually come to a final plot for the show. On the same thread, we hold a voting to see if we should continue with the show and make it a pilot. We should come to a final conclusion about whether this show has potential or not. If not, the show does not continue. If so, we take it on to the next step! The admins ultimately have the very final say on where the show goes but they must take into consideration what was discussed, not their own opinion.

Making the pilot
For the next step, we order a pilot for the show! A press release should be made about the pilot order. Who created the show should start the pilot process. Here is how the pilot process goes: Once we have the cast and the pilot episode ideas, we discuss whether or not we really should continue with this show. We could discuss changes we could make to it, additions, things like that. Then we make a final decision about it. If we decide to scrap it, we cancel the pilot. If we decide to continue, we move onto the next step! Again, admins make the absolute final say, taking into account the discussion, not their own opinions.
 * First you can make a page for show. Please follow the format of the other show pages. See an example here (do not make episodes for it).
 * Next, make a casting call for the characters on the Casting board.
 * After the show is completely, or mostly, casted, you can pitch a few ideas for the pilot episode (first episode) on the Pitches board.

Picking it up to series
Most likely, if your pilot was picked up, then it most likely will be approved for a series. A press release should be made about the new series as soon as possible. The press release acts as an official statement that the series is happening. But, before this press release is made, we need to make sure all of these things are thought out: And that's it! You can develop the page of the show and start making episodes for it!
 * The show should be completely casted.
 * Details of the show should be decided.
 * The show's pilot plot should be decided on.
