Moving episodes from one TV series to another

I appreciate any advice. Thanks

I'm sorry, but I'm not clear about exactly what steps I should take to move episodes from one series to another.

My attempt just changed the episode numbers and kept them in the parent series.

Here is my step-by-step attempt for each episode.

1) clicked "Edit page" button at the bottom of each episode page.

2) Under "Other Corrections", the options are:

  a) "Episode Title / Number"

  b) "Title Deletion"

  c) "Cast / Crew Verification"

   I selected "Episode Title / Number" and "Correct" and hit the "Continue" button

3) a) changed old Series title (in quotes with first year of series in parens) to the Series title where it belongs

    b) changed the Episode Title

    c) changed the episode number

4) provided explanation

What had happened was that three NOVA episodes that had been accepted in season 48 as episode numbers 48.2, 48.3, 48.4 (these numbers are correct for their broadcast dates) were moved to a separate series ["Beyond the Elements" (2021)]. I was attempting to move them back where they belonged.

In the explanation I provided evidence that "Beyond the Elements" (2021) {Reactions (#1.1)} was (submitted and accepted) as [ "Nova" (1974)  {Beyond the Elements: Reactions (#48.2)} ]. I provided evidence that as late as 20 Aug. 2021, Beyond the Elements: Indestructible was still under NOVA as [ "Nova" (1974) {Beyond the Elements: Indestructible (#48.3)} ]

My first reference number is #220613-140537-386000

  • "Beyond the Elements" (2021) {Reactions (#1.1)}
    • Episode Title / Number - Correct
      • Old -
        Parent: "Beyond the Elements" (2021)
        Title: Reactions
        Number: 1.1
        New -
        Parent: "Nova" (1974)
        Title: Beyond the Elements: Reactions
        Number: 48.2

My second reference number is #220613-230219-608000

"Beyond the Elements" (2021) {Indestructible (#1.2)}

  • Episode Title / Number - Correct
    • Old -
      Parent: "Beyond the Elements" (2021)
      Title: Indestructible
      Number: 1.2
      New -
      Parent: "Nova" (1974)
      Title: Beyond the Elements: Indestructible
      Number: 48.3

My third reference number is #220613-230236-517000

  • "Beyond the Elements" (2021) {Life (#1.3)}
    • Episode Title / Number - Correct
      • Old -
        Parent: "Beyond the Elements" (2021)
        Title: Life
        Number: 1.3
        New -
        Parent: "Nova" (1974)
        Title: Beyond the Elements: Life
        Number: 48.4

Looks like the episodes have now been moved. I think this kind of edit can appear to happen in stages so the title or number is changed before the episode is moved.

Yes, thank you. I had realized that it would take some time. I was just a little bit uncertain about the steps to move episodes.
