[edit] Adding an Episode
Episodes are added by going to the page of the season which will contain the new episode.
Once on the season page at the bottom of the episode list there is a two field form.
Simply enter the new episodes number and name and click Add Episode
One Note: There is a provision on this site for special episodes (like movies or seasonal specials). Please check out the section on Special Episodes
Once an episode has been created you have three options
- Edit the episode to have detailed information see below
- Add episode images
Notes
- If episodes were aired on different days, they should be entered as 2 separate listings.
- If episodes were aired on the same day, but have different titles or production codes they should be entered as 2 separate listings.
- If episodes were aired on the same day and have the same title or production code they should be entered as a single listing regardless of the episode length.
[edit] Editing an Episode
Episode editing is a rather straightforward affair as most of the field names are self explanatory although there are a few that need further explanation.
Episode Number
While one would think that the episode number would be a simple affair there are several different ways that someone might choose to number the episodes on this site episodes are numbered in the order they aired on TV. That being said the site does provide two alternative numbering methods.
Moving an Episode between seasons
While you can move episodes around within a season yourself, if you ever need to move an episode from one season to another please come to the Series Discussion Forum and ask a mod/admin to move it for you. Moving episodes between seasons changes the show significantly, and it's always best to discuss it before doing so as your changes are going to impact others. A request to move an episode or a group of episodes will typically be addressed within a 24 hour period. Do not try to do it yourself by duplicating the episodes in another season. To speed up your request, please provide a source which indicates the episodes should in fact be moved.
Episode Name & Overview
Both of these fields have the additional option of specifying their contents in languages other than English. Simply change the dropdown menu beneath either option to the language of your choice and you will be able to enter data in that language which can then be retrieved by the plugin of your choice.
Guest Stars, Director & Writer Fields
These fields have special requirements for multiple guest stars, directors or writers.
If there are multiple items for the fields e.g. if an episode has multiple writers then the field needs to begin with a pipe ( | ) character plus have one between each item and then end with another so the example writers would be entered as |David Weddle|Bradley Thompson|
Production Code
This is simply the studio production code often found in the closing credits of an episode.
DVD Disc ID & DVD Chapter
These fields are currently unused.
DVD Season, DVD Episode Number & Absolute Number
These fields are used for the alternate episode ordering methods see
