AniDB used to be unable to cope well with files containing more than 1 episode. This is no longer the case, but unfortunately there are still remnants left behind from when it couldn't. Those include [[Files:Split-episode files|split-episode files]] as well as multi-episode files which we will cover here. Nowadays, we follow the [[Content:Episodes|how to add new episodes]]-guideline exclusively.
{{update}}
Add File-Episode relations. the old way to add O episodes or stick filecomments in is dead and should <b>NOT</b> be used anymore.


There were 2 ways these files were added to the DB:
===Case 1 - The release is done completely in multi-episode files===
If a group releases all episodes in multi-episode files (e.g. [http://anidb.info/a330 Future Boy Conan]), these files were added to specials O (Other Episodes)
:<tt>Episode[s] xx-yy</tt>
:*<i>where x and y can, if necessary, be followed by (Part s of t) to indicate split episodes</i>
{{h4|Examples}}
:<b>the file contains episode 1,2 and 3</b><tt>
:* O1: Episodes 1-3</tt>
:<b>3 Episodes got merged by the R1 company and then later cut by the dvd-ripper</b><tt>
:* O1: Episodes 1-3 (Part 1 of 2)
:* O2: Episodes 1-3 (Part 2 of 2)</tt>
===Case 2 - Only a few files are done in multi-episode files===
If a group released just ''some'' files that contained multiple episodes (e.g. the multi-episodes in [http://anidb.info/a56 Prince of Tennis]). These files were added to the first episode they contained and a [[Content:Filecomments|filecomment]] in this form was added:
:<tt>Joint episodes xx-yy</tt>
