| ==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.

| === 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. Therefore, notes such as "Part X of Y" are generally considered both duplication of information and an unwelcome complexity. Use of these types of notes are discouraged, especially given that the average user usually only cares about the TV edit episode number in these circumstances. These notes can be allowed if their use clearly adds clarity to the case, but always ask a mod first before adding such notes.
