Script

In addition to the general credit formatting rules, the following apply specifically to the script field.

Required for Comic Story sequences, Optional on all other types of sequences.
This field includes writer, plotter, scripter, adapter, translator and any similar function. If included without notes it assumes plot and script contribution.
For "Cover" sequences:
- When the cover includes scripted material that would otherwise qualify for indexing as a comics story or cartoon if it was not located on the cover, the scripter of such sequence shall be credited if known or designated by a question mark if unknown. Such credit shall be given even when it is determined that the scripter of this material is an editor of the book.
- For all other cases, this field will be left empty and the "No Script" field checked.
- Examples:
  - The editor will be credited for the script: https://www.comics.org/issue/17887/cover/4/
  - The script field will get a question mark (until such time as the scripter is determined): https://www.comics.org/issue/212710/cover/4/
  - This will get "no script": https://www.comics.org/issue/2447459/
