Item: The Secret Files of the Spy Dogs: Season 1 - "Oatz" or "The Secret File of the Appalling Apparel"
Language: en-US
Type of Problem: Incorrect_content
Extra Details: The show had 2 "sub-episodes" in each episode, so it was wrong to break it down to multiple individual episodes. Plex and other systems have also handled it wrongly. I've corrected the episodes, this one should be deleted.

Unfortunately, we need to undo all your changes.
As indicated in our rules, "For kids cartoon with two or three distinct stories (segments) per half-hour originally broadcasted on regular TV networks, each episode should be split so that each segment is an episode. For example, "Going the Extra Milo / Sunny Side Up" should be two episodes. The main reason for splitting the segments is that segments are often released individually and/or paired with a different segment in subsequent releases."
I'm going to hide your other reports, as one report is enough for all the episodes.

Too bad. I understand the internal logic, however:

This is not an issue but a rule that need to be followed. Once we have finished reverted the changes, you will have to reupload the images on the correct segment.
To take your other example, many "Paw Patrol" segments have been broadcasted paired differently than the original broadcast.

Understood, you work with a completely different logic. You want it to be true to the original broadcasting order, and nothing else matters. For me that's only a date, which holds no beneficial information, unless I'm curious about it.
I was aiming to make it usable with the API, and I indeed neglected the rule, but it seemed that in the current day and age the optimal functionality of your API is more important, to have the correct covers, descriptions, and titles appear on platforms that use it. Also, these platforms use the DVD, bluray or streaming service "release order". In other cases, channels occasionally ruin the broadcasting order, like with X-men Evolution, where the timeline is completely ruined by them, once again causing headaches for those who try to watch it in order. So once again, I was aiming to help everyone to see the correct information, rather than only change it on my platform, but I accepted your rules, and I won't generate any more extra work for you in the future.
Apologies for the inconvenience
