Hi Phil,

You can add an order number and a release date to the existing episodes on the series page by going to the episode page, hit edit page, select Episode Title / Number and Release Date, continue and add the number and the relevant release date. Please see this guide for more details on episode ordering.

Regards,
Will

Is there a way to convert a title that exists as a separate entity into an episode of a series, or does all the information on such a title need to be resubmitted when converted to an episode of a series?

Yes, there is a way to change a non-episode into an episode of a series. The destination mnemonic identifier has the form:
"Title of the Series" (Year) {Title of the Episode (#SN.EN)}
...where Year is the calendar year of the release of the series, SN is the sequential number of the season to which the episode belongs, and EN is the sequential number of the episode counting from the first episode of the season to which it belongs. The title of the series is enclosed within double-quotation marks, whereas the title of the episode is not.

Hi Phil,

No you can convert it to an episode by doing a title correct on the standalone title, however the format needs to be exactly right for it to work. For example, you need to edit the title for Civil War Combat: The Battle of Chickamauga (2003) (TV) to "Civil War Combat: America's Bloodiest Battles" (1999) {Civil War Combat: The Battle of Chickamauga (#2.1)} if you wanted to change it to season 2 episode 1.

Are you sure that these titles were first released as episodes of a tv series? Sometimes standalone TV movies can originally air as separate entities but then can be later repackaged into a series. See for example, Sharpe and Prime Suspect.

Will

Thanks for the help, everyone!  It took me some trial-and-error missteps, but the correction is now complete.  Thanks, again1
