====Episode titling policy for exceptions where an "episode 0" considered as episode 1 on AniDB==== | |||
We will apply the following episode title naming convention, to make it explicit that it is an "episode 0" within the regular airing sequence: | |||
==== | |||
<pre>-- "Episode 0: xxxxx: yyyyy - zzzzz", | <pre>-- "Episode 0: xxxxx: yyyyy - zzzzz", | ||

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

** Length: provide the length in (m:ss) format. For example (1:36), (12:35). Given that most T episodes do not have formal titles, the exact length helps to track the T episodes, as it is otherwise very difficult to tell the T episodes apart. | ** Length: provide the length in (m:ss) format.
