* When they appear standalone as the only thing in the episode title, use the default "Episode XX" or "Volume XX" naming convention instead.

==="Prologue" and "00" Episodes (For English Titles)===
==="Prologue" and "Episode 0" Episodes (For English Titles)===
When it comes to episodes that are numbered as "Prologue" or "00", unless there is a "clear indication" that an "episode 0" should NOT be considered as the first episode of the regular airing sequence, an episode 0 will be considered episode 1 on AniDB, as it is the first aired episode.
{{main|Content:Episodes#"Prologue"_and_"Episode 0"_Episodes}}
 
{{#lsth:Content:Episodes|"Prologue" and "Episode 0" Episodes}}
Examples of "clear indications" for what "episode 0" entries should NOT be considered as the first episode of the regular airing sequence:
====Episode titling policy for exceptions where an "episode 0" considered as episode 1 on AniDB====
* [http://anidb.net/a10569 Macross Delta] -- episode S1, ''Battlefield Prologue'', this is essentially a trailer of the first episode
We will apply the following episode title naming convention, to make it explicit that it is an "episode 0" within the regular airing sequence:
* [http://anidb.net/a11166 Chaos;Child] -- episode S1, ''Chaos;Head'', this is a recap episode of the prequel series
 
For reference, the original discussion on AniDB's moderator IRC channel can be found [http://anidb.net/perl-bin/animedb.pl?show=creq&creq.show=1&creq.id=8033071#msg16237416 here], along with follow-up comments [http://anidb.net/c8470932 here].
 
====In Summary: when an "episode 0" is considered as episode 1 on AniDB====
* An episode note should be added to provide a brief description.  For example: "Listed as Episode 00"
* We will apply the following episode title naming convention, to make it explicit that it is an "episode 0":
<pre>-- "Episode 0: xxxxx: yyyyy - zzzzz",
<pre>-- "Episode 0: xxxxx: yyyyy - zzzzz",
-- "Episode 00: xxxxx: yyyyy - zzzzz",
-- "Episode 00: xxxxx: yyyyy - zzzzz",

* If a Japanese title is given, transcribe it '''in full'''.

* For the English title, the general naming convention is as follows: <<Type>> <<#>> (<<Length>>): <<Description>> - <<Sub-description>>
* For the English title, the general naming convention is as follows: <<Type>> <<#>> (<<Length>>): <<Description>> - <<Sub-description>>
** Type: type of T episode, e.g. PV, CM, trailer, web PV, BD/DVD CM, etc. (non-exhaustive list). More descriptive terms are preferred, but terms should still be kept as short as practicable (e.g. do not expand "BD/DVD CM" to "blu-ray and DVD commercial").

*** Do not include the T episode's distribution method in the T episode type. For example: ''Web PV'', ''Twitter PV'', and ''YouTube PV'' should not be considered types.
*** The type ''BD/DVD CM'' refers to a T episode that advertises a BD/DVD release and therefore allowed; it is not a reference to "a T episode released via BD/DVD", as by definition an advertisement / T episode would not typically have a BD/DVD as its first distribution method.
** #: number the various T episodes based on airing order, for each type.  For example, if the anime has 3 PV and 4 CM, number them PV 1, PV 2, PV 3, CM 1, CM 2, CM 3, CM 4.

** Length: provide the length in (m:ss) format. For example (1:36), (12:35). Given that most T episodes do not have formal titles, the exact length helps to track the T episodes, as it is otherwise very difficult to tell the T episodes apart.
