- Article content can be merged back to source material, where it exists, or to the articles of the primary filmmakers. If the film reaches production, the redirect can be easily reverted.
- If the film is part of a series, an article on the whole film series can be created, and the content of the future film can be merged into it.
- If the film fails to meet basic community-wide standards such as speedy deleted, as appropriate.
- Editors are also welcome and encouraged to work on developing future film articles in their userspace. The content can be copied or moved later when production commences.

Articles may also exist which do not describe production as underway, even if it has already commenced.
