The structure here seems to be that you have one overall heading for this award ceremony and then a page listing each year's winners. I'm thinkin the daytime serial winners should be moved to the years in which they won.
That will make this article pretty short but maybe we can add some history of the event or other details.
There is a Writers Guild in Great Britain too and an award. Salman Rushdie won the price in the Eighties. We in Europe think of the Writers' Guild of Great Britain in the same way as of the Writers Guild in the USA and it seems to us as important as the latter one. Is this English Wikipedia a thing done by Americans for Americans? Well, this is my impression. You know, this ambiguity thing, it is not there where it belongs. I do not want to be misinterpreted, I do not think the Americans are not as important as British people ... ;) --

Does anyone have a photo of the award they can put in the Creative Commons?
Does anyone have a photo of a Writer's Guild Award or know where we can get one that they can put into the Creative Commons so it can go on the WGA Awards page?
I've already looked for one on Flickr and there isn't one in the Creative Commons. Maybe somebody knows a writer who has won a WGA award that will let us take a picture and put on Wikimedia.
I'm getting started with this. There is a few things I need to do first though which is post it to all the relevant talk pages. I'll be using
AWB for that, so it will be done semi-automatically. –MJL‐Talk‐☖18:02, 19 June 2019 (UTC)reply
@
TonyTheTiger: I'm trying to standardize our coverage of the WGA Awards. There are a few problems I could use help tackling. The to do list is up now, but I don't know where I should start tbh. –MJL‐Talk‐☖16:42, 4 July 2019 (UTC)reply

Support per
WP:COMMONNAME. I think many of the articles that primarily focus on the awards ceremonies should be moved to a plural title as that is almost always how they are referred to in the sources.

Support I think there's some merit to the argument that this is an article about the award ceremony, and the
WP:COMMONNAME for that is the plural form. But also, even if you believe the article is about the awards themselves, the article should still be pluralized per the
WP:NCPLURAL exception for articles on "groups or classes of specific things". i.e. for the same reason we have an article at
Great Lakes rather than
Great Lake. There is a fixed set of WGA awards (Best Adapted Screenplay, Best Comedy Series, etc.).

As shown
here, articles are using an inconsistent layout. The state of sourcing is abysmal, but that is going to have to be handled on a case-by-case basis. I plan on running all the articles through
WP:AWB upon the conclusion of this RFC in order to do basic fixes, but I would like to fix the formatting issues at the same time. I am proposing this RFC because this will effect 72+ pages which have remained mostly stable for a few years.
Questions
Question 1. What color should we use to represent the WGA Awards?
This golden color
This blue-gray color
This bronze color
Note: Unless there is objection, the infobox/div, templates, and tables of all pages will be matched this one color.
Question 2. (a) Should pages use a
floating div or an
infobox? (b) What information should either of these options include?
Remember this is
not a vote, and this will probably only get halfway decent results if we engage in a true discussion since there are so many options for how this can go down. –MJL‐Talk‐☖20:08, 7 December 2019 (UTC)reply

Bronze Infobox. My personal opinion is we use the bronze color because that seems to match what the award ceremony organizes are using themselves. The gold is confusingly generic, and the blue makes links hard to see. The infobox should probably display minimal information and should primarily serve as a navigational tool (since navboxes don't appear on mobile). Regardless of the choice we make, the winners should be excluded besides maybe best screenplay (even then I'm against that). The only information that really belongs there are: (1) the organizers, (2) the date of the event, (3) the site/location, (4) the ceremony before it, (5) the ceremony after it, and (6+) the event number with a link to the main awards page. {{Infobox film awards}} has a lot of parameters that I would highly discourage taking advantage of. I'll be honest and say that I am not unconvinced that the floating div wouldn't serve that purpose. The contrarian in me really likes it for being unique, but the pragmatist in me understands that it isn't machine readable and comes with too many accessibility problems. –MJL‐Talk‐☖20:08, 7 December 2019 (UTC)reply
