Line 1: Line 1:
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 atm. Add the episodes like described in the [[Content:Episodes|How to add new episodes]]-guideline, but with with the following episode titles.
{{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.


There are 2 cases we have to consider for this. In both people of course still have to add [[Files:Generic_files|generic files]] to their lists. That workaround can't be avoided.
==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 should be added to specials O (Other Episodes)
*Episode[s] X-Y
:<i>where X and Y can, if necessary, be followed by a letter (a,b,c,...) to indicate partial/split episodes</i>
{{h4|Examples}}
:<b>the file contains episode 1,2 and 3</b><tt>
:* O1: Episodes 1-3</tt>
:<b>file 1 contains episode 1 and parts of episode 2. file 2 contains the second part of episode 2</b><tt>
:* O1: Episodes 1-2a
:* O2: Episode 2b</tt>
==Case 2 - Only a few files are done in multi-episode files==
* If a group releases just ''some'' files that contain multiple episodes (e.g. the multi-episodes in [http://anidb.info/a56 Prince of Tennis]). These files should be added to the first episode they contain and a [[Content:Filecomments|filecomment]] in this form should be added:
:<tt>Joint episodes xx-yy</tt>
==Additional note to reduce confusion==
{{h4|Why is Ebichu 24 episodes when Azumanga Daioh is 26 episodes? }}<br>
<i><small>Ebichu was aired 2 episodes at a time; Azumanga Daioh was aired 5 episodes at a time</small></i>
This question can be answered pretty fast by checking their Japanese homepages.
:* 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]
