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.

Applying rule 3.1, this is allowed.

{{CollapseBlock|#6: Tenjou Hen: Utsu No Miko (1990) -- No Formally Credited OP/ED Songs|content=
{{anidb|a5938|Link to https://anidb.net/a5938}}
Applying rule 1.1.1, we would lookthrough the credits and find the functional OP/ED songs; the anime does not formally credit any OP/ED.

{{CollapseBlock|#7: Nichijou -- Multiple Versions Of Song Zzz, But Credits Are Non-Sepcific|content=
{{anidb|a8168|Link to https://anidb.net/a8168}}
Applying rule 1.2.2, while the credits only attribute Zzz as the ED song for multiple episodes, external reference [http://anison.info/data/program/13447.html Anison] clearly delineates Zzz, Zzz(Boss Nova Version), and Zzz(Acapella Version), therefore we credit the specific versions.

{{CollapseBlock|#8: "Things That Look Like OP/ED Should Be Treated As OP/ED"|content=
{{anidb|e118740|Link to https://anidb.net/e118740}}
The below is addressed by rule 1.1.

This is very much what I'd do.
It's maybe not as clean as making it only "credited as OP/ED", but it conveys far better what C-episode are for. It also immediately catches the older stuff and takes care of the auto-titler thing that Soulweaver mentioned.
Plus it's generally pretty clear when something is meant to be an OP/ED: the regular story is interrupted for 1-1.30 minute of unrelated music video, usually with credits. Incidentally, the story not being interrupted also matches
our sense of when it should be an S-episode instead.

{{CollapseBlock|#9: One-Off Summary ED Vs Majority Usage Summary ED|content=
In terms of summary/recap type ED, there are 2 distinct types of occurrences:
# Shows that do it very infrequently, such as the end of an arc, or the end of the entire show ({{anidb|e145266|SAO ep 25}})
# Shows that do it for every single ED ({{anidb|a10727|Ai Tenchi Muyou}}, {{anidb|a266|Detective Conan}})
Applying rule 5.2, example #1 is added as its own C ep.
Applying rule 5 and 5.1, for example #2 we do not differentiate these videos. We only create C eps that are differentiated by changes in OP/ED song.

{{CollapseBlock|#10: Weird Example Of Danganronpa Ep 1 ED -- Consider This Case an Ad-Hoc, Non-Precedent Decision|content=
# Add BD version as C ep., and use the BD date as the C ep date since that's when the BD version video first airs.
# Create an S ep for the black screen credit role, with air date of ep 1 air date. Call it "Episode 1 TV Ending" or something. Ordinarily as a black screen ED, it would fail rule 3 blocking it from C ep, so it can only be an S ep.

'''Soulweaver wrote:''' There's also another stupid case I forgot, the {{anidb|e154738|first episode ending}} of {{anidb|a9555|Danganronpa}}. The TV version had a black screen with a credits roll, the BD version had a proper ending animation – so far so good, only add a C ep for the latter. However, they also bundled the credited original ep 1 staff roll as a bonus feature on the Blu-rays for whatever reason; the unusual decision there was to add the files of that mixed in with the BD ED1 files and have them share the same C ep (with also ep 1's air date, it seems). I don't know if this was actually that good of an idea, they should probably be separate, though I don't know if the plain credit roll would be a S ep either.
'''CDB-Man wrote:''' We should make it simple and not create exceptions; just add the S ep for this if it fails the C ep check.

{{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.}}
