Welcome to the '''Films based on books''' department of [[Wikipedia:WikiProject Film|WikiProject Film]]. The department coordinator is '''[[User:Pegship|Her Pegship]]'''.

==Guidelines==
# Use only one category as the categories will be linked as subcategories.
# DO NOT add a film where the book was written AFTER the film was made; those should go in [[:Category:Film spin-offs|Film spin-offs]].

==To do==
1. See the [[/Worklist|Worklist]] for links to film articles which need to be checked:
:*Is it really based on written material, and is that material mentioned in the text or links?
:*Are the film and source material articles separate, or does the article need splitting?
:*Does it have the appropriate category/ies?
:*Is it listed on the appropriate source list (see below)?
:Remove the article's link from the [[/Worklist|Worklist]] when you have finished with it.

2. Update various lists in the [[:Category:Lists of films by source|Lists of films by source]] category.

==Categories==
* [[:Category:Films based on books]] - All films based on a book would have this category.
**[[:Category:Films based on works by writer]]
***[[:Category:Films based on works by Jane Austen]]
***[[:Category:Films based on works by Michael Crichton]]. etc.
