Writers[edit]
Hi. A question has arisen regarding which writers should be in which category in the infobox. Obviously, story writers go under story and screenwriters go under screenplay. The question arises when there is something like "dialogue". My opinion is that dialogue is a part of the screenplay, and not the story, therefore those credits belong on the screenplay line, rather than the writer line. Thoughts?

- From the doc for Template:Infobox film:
I see no support there for putting names in the "screenplay" field except for those writers who are actually credited with writing the screenplay. Those credited with writing the screenplay go into the "screenplay" field, those credited with writing the story go into the "story" field, all other writers (except "based on") go into the "writer" field. Seems very clear to me. BMK (talk) 23:28, 23 January 2016 (UTC)writer - Insert the name(s) of the writer(s). This field is primarily used for films where the writer(s) are credited under "Written by". Separate multiple entries using {{Plainlist}}. In addition, link each writer to his/her appropriate article if possible.
screenplay – Insert the name(s) of the screenplay writer(s). Separate multiple entries using {{Plainlist}}. Use this field instead of the normal writer field if films divide writing credits between screenplay and story writers. In addition, link each writer to his/her appropriate article if possible.
