Be careful with different episode orders here. For the moment the Japanese "how it was supposed to be shown" order is our standard. | Be careful with different episode orders here. For the moment the Japanese "how it was supposed to be shown" order is our standard. | ||
==="Prologue" and "Episode 0" Episodes=== | |||
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. | |||
Examples of "clear indications" for what "episode 0" entries should NOT be considered as the first episode of the regular airing sequence: | |||
* [http://anidb.net/a10569 Macross Delta] -- episode S1, ''Battlefield Prologue'', this is essentially a trailer of the first episode | |||
* [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 0" | |||
* We will explicitly indicate in the episode title that this episode is an "episode 0" | |||
** Refer to the titling policy [[Content:Titles#"Prologue"_and_"Episode_0"_Episodes_(For_English_Titles)|here]]. | |||
