Help:P1113

Help page for number of episodes (P1113) . This help page will be included in Property talk:P1113. Please be careful editing it not to break the included page.

This property shows the number of episodes a television or radio series has had. It should always be a numerical value, without other symbols or indications. It's possible to add qualifiers, such as point in time, or references.

Programs in production

If the program is still in production, ideally you should not update the property until the broadcast premiere of a new episode.

The number of episode should be qualified:

• with point in time (P585) to indicate when a given number is correct.
• with criterion used (P1013) to indicate what this refers to. Values can be:
  • number of episodes aired (Q39242248)
  • number of episodes at the end of the current season or of the last season aired (Q39239591)
  • number of episodes produced (Q39242358)

The date for number of episodes aired (Q39242248) shouldn't be in the future.

Using number of episodes at the end of the current season or of the last season aired (Q39239591) has the advantage that updates need be done only once per season.

If there are several values for the same criterion used (P1013), the most recent one should get preferred rank.

Programs that ended

In general, only the total number of episodes is stored.

If there are several ways of counting this, in rare cases, there may be multiple values. Add a qualifier to indicate how it is determined.

In general, attempt to follow the way the producer counts the number of episodes. Bear in mind the difference between two-part episode (Q21664088) and segment of a television episode (Q29555881).
