TV Series without Episode Titles

Hello,

I'm attempting to correct and add content about Wonder Quest(a YouTube web-series) to IMDb. After careful viewing of the episodes, I've determined that there is no official title for each episode. The only titles on the videos themselves just say "Episode X". The current titles on IMDb were either made up or came from an unknown source. Since there are no official titles should I put the title of each episode as "Episode 1", "Episode 2", etc.?

IMDb Link: https://www.imdb.com/title/tt4700892/?ref_=tt_ov_inf

YouTube Link: https://www.youtube.com/playlist?list=PL-5rAmT-qANSMKvQsIz4WEFhoPViWLgx_

Thanks!

Thank you for your responses! John from IMDb clarified this for me for anyone who needs this in the future: 

Regarding your episode title text issue:

You will need to submit a delete request to incorrect episode title text listed. When an episode has no title text our system automatically names the episode "Episode 1.1". So correcting the title text to "Episode 1" or "Episode 1.1" is against our policy.

I'm surprised someone over there was aware of this policy and gave you a correct answer. Last year an employee named Grayson argued with me for days that title texts like "Episode 1" or "Episode 1.1" are totally fine until I finally made him read the Episode Guidelines (he had never read it until that day). It looks like there's a little progress with them.
