== | ==Guidance for O episodes== | ||
===General Guidance=== | |||
O episodes are not intended as proper episode entries. O episodes are used as a placeholder for entries that are a chopjob, re-cut, or other combination of regular (R), special (S), Opening/Closing (C), and/or Trailer/Promo (T) episode types. | |||
# To ensure that mylist statistics work correctly, it is '''mandatory''' that all files contained in O episodes are also assigned other episodes using file-episode relations. | |||
## Use file-episode relations to mark which episode(s) the O episode covers. | |||
## Assign percentages based on how much of the target episode this file covers. For example, if an O episode covers time timestamps from 20% to 40% of episode 1, and timestamps from 65% to 90% of episode 2, add these as the percentages in the file-episode relations. | |||
# If an O episode covers multiple regular episodes, for example a single release covers episode 1, 2, and 3 of the main series, '''THIS IS NOT AN O EPISODE'''. Instead, add the file to episode 1, and create file-episode relations to episode 2 and 3. | |||
Files for a TV | === Movies subsequently redistributed in TV series format === | ||
Some anime series are distributed in both a movie and a TV series format with minimal edits between each other, except for the addition of opening and ending segments; the first airing or screening of the anime determines the anime type set on the anime entry as is usual. In case of a movie released also in an episodic format, the episodic version is to be added using a set of O (Other) episodes. | |||
Files for a TV distribution like this are expected to be added into said O episodes. However, to make mylist statistics for said anime to work correctly, it is '''mandatory''' to also assign the file to the episode entry of the relevant movie, using an additional file-episode relation; there is no difference in treatment from the general guidance. | |||
The start and end positions saved into this relation also make the part number inside the movie entry explicit; an average user usually only cares about the TV edit episode number anyway. As such, notes like "Part X of Y" are generally considered both duplication of information and an unwelcome complexity; their use is discouraged. They can be allowed if their use clearly adds clarity to the case, but always ask a mod first before adding such notes. | |||
