Combine individual IMDb pages into a TV series page

I trying to figure out how exactly to fix this. If you set a series incorrectly. Instead of creating a series page and adding episodes to that, each episode was added as its own page. They need to be combined together, but I don't how to do it so the combination doesn;t get mashed together and gets broken out to each episode.

Hi kevin_hejn -

As I understand the issue, instead of being listed correctly as a series title page with episodes, the titles are listed as standalone films on the site, is that correct?

If so and the titles were initially released as episodes of a series, you will need to submit a new title listing for the series title.  Once the series is listed you will then need to submit the episodes for the series, once these are listed you can then easily request a merge of the applicable titles (merging the standalone titles into the episode titles).

Let us know if you have further questions or encounter issues with the updates!

Yes, that's essentially the issue. It was setup as 6 standalone films, and 2 TV series pages. With each entriy an episode.

So should I create a new series page, or just use one the series pages already existing?

Also, if I should create a new series entry. Should I not add credits to it, since I am merging pages into it?

Yes thank you.

https://www.imdb.com/title/tt14596688/

https://www.imdb.com/title/tt14596834/

https://www.imdb.com/title/tt14596968/

https://www.imdb.com/title/tt14597104/

https://www.imdb.com/title/tt14597428/

https://www.imdb.com/title/tt14597516/

tt14147678, tt14596492, tt14597104 seem to be set up as TV series.

tt14596688, tt14596834, tt14596968, tt14597428, tt14597516 seem to be setup as films.

But they are all episodes of the same thing.

You can see the actual episode numbers in the title. For example "AbSolved Episodic Narrative 1.7 the Audience." Except for tt14147678, which was created before the others and would be an episode 1.0.

Hi kevin_hejn -

Apologies for the delayed response.  Thanks for clarifying and providing the title links.

In this case, yes, you should submit the new series title (such as "AbSolved"), once listed you can then update the standalone title types to be listed as episodes of the series via a Title Correction, using the title format:

"Series Title" (year) {Episode Title (#episode season/number)}

For example: "AbSolved" (2021) {Episodic Narrative (#1.4)}

Let us know if you have any further questions!
