No, it doesn't mean nothing; it just doesn't really mean "prequel." They don't apply it to anything; they apply the term to short stories set and released prior to an episode (occasionally released afterwards). So, if they call SS, HS a prequel, then they're calling it a "BBC prequel," which is narrative.

All I'm saying it that I get that it doesn't seem to have much of a plot, but it was clearly intended to be narrative, and we should at least take that into consideration. I get all your objections, and agree with most of them, except your claim that it was simply intended to be a trailer.
