** Type: type of T episode, e.g. PV, CM, | ** Type: type of T episode, e.g. PV, CM, Trailer, 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. | |||

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. | ** #: number the various T episodes based on airing order, for each type.
