Soap Opera continuous numbering post 2

Hello! This is a continuation of https://community-imdb.sprinklr.com/conversations/data-issues-policy-discussions/do-soap-operas-require-continuous-numbering/6a1e47cd1d7c2161cf8a6586.

I recently implement the changes discussed and submitted them but was declined and would like clarification. Thank you.

Contribution ID:

  • #260912-155801-066000
  • #260912-155923-725000
  • #260912-160052-215000
  • #260912-160251-561000

I will continue adding episodes in the old way due to the high output of episodes GH produces per year and then going back and corecting them to the new way (if that is still okay and approved) until the new way is consistently approved.

I also don’t want the series to end up partially both ways, so if this new way can’t get consistently approved across staff, please let me know and I will just revert to the old way.

Thanks!

Hi @HeartGlow30797​ -

Thank you for posting these submission examples, I've reviewed them and you're absolutely right that these corrections should have been approved. I've gone ahead and made the updates to the season and episode ordering, and they should be live on the site shortly.

I'm also flagging this with the appropriate team so we can correct why these episode corrections were being declined and make sure similar submissions are accepted going forward.

Thanks again for taking the time to document these so clearly, it's a big help.

Cheers!

@Michelle​ hello! Is there any objection to using the continuous episode number as the episode title as ABC does?? I posted proof in My original submissions.

Hi @HeartGlow30797​ -

If the episode has no title you should leave the Episode Title box blank, the title name will then default to the provided season and sequence numbers.  

I hope this helps!

@Michelle​ Hello! Due to preemptions and variable moving around, the episode is usually referred to as Episode 15001, Episode 15002, etc… is that still acceptable?

You state "I also don’t want the series to end up partially both ways"

Currently, I see there's only a season 1 (and episodes in the Unknown box) listed for this title on IMDb. If I understand correctly, you want to add episodes for a season 60 and onwards.

Wouldn't the IMDb page, in the eye of the average IMDb customer, for this title then look like it ended up partially both ways?
