We create a C ep for ep 2 OP instead. However, the air date of this C episode is the air date of episode 1, since the "OP video segment" was actually first played in episode 1.

This is a non-prescriptive rule and is only stated as a suggestion; regular numbering rules still apply and can modify the numbering as appropriate. | :::: 2.5.3.1.

:: 5.1. '''Treat all summary OP/ED videos for the same song as "identical" videos''': All summary OP/ED videos for the same song are treated as "identical" videos. In the case of a split OP/ED video where a portion is summary and the remainder is the "regular OP/ED sequence" for the same song, these are also treated as "identical" videos ("rounding up" assumption). Therefore, we only create C/S eps that are differentiated by changes in OP/ED song. All the "identical" videos are added to the C/S eps based on song; optionally, at the file level a file comment can be added to specify the episode to which that C/S ep video applies. | :: 5.1.

{{CollapseBlock|This is an archive of the former guidance at [[Content:Episodes]].|content= | |||
{{eyecatch|Note|C episode guidance:<br> | |||
Do '''NOT''' add a separate episode for creditless openings/endings. Set the creditless flag in the video track of the '''file''' instead. We don't want creditless and non-creditless as separate episode entries.<br> | |||
The '''ONLY VALID''' naming template is Opening (1,2,...,n), Ending (1,2,...,n). In case if the same song is used with a significantly different video or the same video is used with a different song, append letters after the numbers e.g. Opening 1a, Opening 1b. For foreign OP/ED episodes, if they differ from the original Japanese versions, append the country name before Opening (1,2,...,n), Ending (1,2,...,n).<br> | |||
PVs (music video for the song) go under Other episodes, but only if they were released as part of the anime DVD/BD.<br> | |||
"Long/full" versions of the OP or ED should be added under Special episode unless they were actually used within a regular episode.<br> | |||
If the OP/ED song is played and credits are shown, but the video is still that of the regular episode, then it's NOT an OP/ED episode (rather common in last episodes as sort of an epilogue).<br> | |||
OP/ED episode's display name will be automatically changed to the song played in that OP/ED if the song has the appropriate OP/ED episode number relation added. It will also automatically display the episode range the OP/ED is played in if the song has those episode ranges added.<br> | |||
OP/ED episodes, like any other episode, should have the air date, which would be the air date of the episode they were first played in.}} | |||
