| This is an ongoing discussion. None of this should be taken at face value. |
Hierarchy: |
If a title exists, it should always be the first element.
Additional metadata for series should be arranged descending in hierarchy, separated with |[Example 1].
Season and episode naming: S#:E#:P#
If there are seasons and episodes defined by the creator, they should be formatted as S#:E#:P#. # is a placeholder for the number in the series here.
P# is optional, if a single episode is separated into multiple parts.
Zero-padding (S01) the number should follow the existing style or convention of the channel.
Season-less or episode-less
Season-less, standalone episodes should be denoted only with E#[Example 2]
Episode-less, standalone videos should be denoted with an unabbreviated Part [Example 3]
Daily shows
Shows without seasons or that are solely based on date should be formatted according to ISO8601, which is YYYY-MM-DD[Example 4]
Variations such as YYYY-DD-MM or YY-MM-DD are not allowed, since they are ambiguous.
Subtitles: –
If there a subtitle to the series or episode, it should be separated with a hyphen (-) or an en dash (–) before the hierarchy separator[Example 5].
Additional metadata: ()
If there is any additional metadata, it should be included in parentheses ((...)) at the end of the relevant part of the title, before the hierarchy separator[Example 6].
Additional metadata can be:
- Featured artists:
(ft. John Doe) - Speedrun categories or modifiers:
(any%)(blindfolded) - Other modifiers that might distinguish it from another part:
(BTS) - Year for media that might have a popular name or multiple iterations:
Call of Duty Modern Warfare (2019)
