Separating (or extracting) an episode from a series

How do I extract an episode from a series and designate it as a standalone production? We have a series in production, and all of the current and upcoming episodes are listed on IMDb. However, two of those episodes are being spun away from the series as standalones. They will have no association with the series. The work to input them on IMDb has been done, so it seems inefficient to delete the episodes and input them again. Any advice or information will be greatly appreciated. Thanks.

- Click Edit button on the episode page.

- Select "Correct" for "Episode Title / Number" under "Other Corrections" and click "Continue"

- Make the "Episode Title" and "Number" boxes empty (this is important)

- And put the new title format to the "Series" box. For example: My Standalone Title (2023)

(if it will be a TV movie, then My Standalone Title (2023) (TV) would be correct formatting)

In the end it should be something like this:

Lastly, press "Re-check" button, then "Warning understood, go ahead anyway." button and then Submit button.
