| ===What are they?===
| | {{update}} |
| ----
| | Add '''file episode''' relations. The old way to add O episodes or stick file comments in is dead and should '''NOT''' be used any more. |
| A multi-episode file is a file with at least 2 episodes. Those are troublesome as AniDB can only associate 1 episode to 1 file at the moment.
| |
|

|
| ===How to add them to AniDB?===
| |
| ----
| |
| * If a group releases all episodes in multi-episode files (e.g. [http://anidb.info/perl-bin/animedb.pl?show=anime&aid=330 Future Boy Conan]), these files should be added to specials
| |
| * If a group releases just ''some'' files that contain multiple episodes (e.g. the dual episodes in [http://anidb.info/perl-bin/animedb.pl?show=anime&aid=56 Prince of Tennis]), these files should be added to the first episode they contain.
| |
| In both cases, people of course still have to add generic files to their lists. That workaround can't be avoided.
| |
|
| |
| In any case, it is important to have a consistent naming scheme for titles of special episodes and file comments that is easy to understand both for humans and programs. We came up with this:
| |
| :* Naming scheme for specials: "Episode[s] X-Y: (Titles of episodes)", where X and Y can, if necessary, be followed by a letter (a,b,c,...) to indicate partial/split episodes.
| |
| ::<u>Examples:</u>
| |
| :: "Episode 1-3: [...]" (contains three eps)
| |
| :: "Episode 1-2a: [...]" (contains complete first episode, part of the second episode)
| |
| :: "Episode 2b: [...]" (contains second part of the second episode)
| |
| :* Naming scheme for file comments: "contains ep[s] X-Y" with the same rules as above

| <big>'''Why is Ebichu 24 episodes (was aired 2 episodes at a time) when Azumanga Daioh is 26 episodes? (was aired 5 episodes at a time)'''</big>
| |
|
| |
| This question can be answered pretty fast by checking their Japanese homepages.<br>
| |
| :* Ebichu is mentioned on the page as having 24 episodes. It was also released on 4 DVDs with 6 episodes per DVD. Can be seen here: [http://www.gainax.co.jp/anime/awaawa/] and more clearly here (purple box): [http://www.gainax.co.jp/soft/awadvd/index.html]
| |
| :* Azumanga Daioh is '''very''' clearly marked as 26 episodes with 5 chapters per episode. Can be seen here: [http://www.imagica.com/shop/azumanga/episode/ep_index.html]
