Appearance
Episodes v Specials
Can someone please explain how a "special" differs from an "episode" and how how these specials are indicated.
As of this writing the episode list says there have been 9 specials.
Here's the source of of the 9 specials, the num_episodes fields from the television season Infobox:
- 2015 | num_episodes = 62
- 2106 | num_episodes = 203 (and 1 special)
- 2017 | num_episodes = 197 (and 1 special)
- 2018 | num_episodes = 205 (and 1 special)
- 2019 | num_episodes = 187
- 2020 | num_episodes = 164 (and 3 specials)
- 2021 | num_episodes = 75 (and 3 specials)
Here are the snippets from each of the seven Infoboxes (from each of the episode years) in which you can see the number of episodes and specials.
