Okay. Numbering. Brilliant. That will be the #1 qualifier to define individual series within a range.

I do think series should have individual pages, just as with television series. I also think box sets, should have pages, though. Let me explain: you are right, in that we don't cover series box sets separately, or use them to define the boundaries of series. But we do cover box sets, in the case of television, which are not specifically series and which are named. You can find those within category:Box sets. We even cover The Key to Time (box set), which contains all of season 16 (which has an overall "Key to Time" story arc), because it contains a name, and this a name which differs from the name of the series (which is simply season 16 in this case).

In summation, when the numbering goes from 1.x to 2.x, that is a whole series. Series X (Range) should be the standard nomenclature for series articles. I think. If a series is released under a specific name, then that name should redirect to the series page, and be included in both the lead and the infobox. On naming, though, it can easily go the other way, as well—Dark Eyes 2 instead of Series 2 (Dark Eyes) as the main title—but I'm following the precedent of Torchwood here in saying we should stick with a consistent naming structure.

As I quoted above, individual Dark Eyes box sets have been officially referred to as "series" and "seasons" by official sources, regardless of how they "feel". I'm sure the numbering follows that format, too. (Where does one find the official numbering? I'm a bit confused on that front.)

At this point, I'm starting to wonder:
 * 1) Do we need (anthology)/(audio anthology), after all, if they're all just box sets anyway? Obviously, we would make the distinction in categories either way. I think (anthology) is useful, personally.
 * 2) Should it be (audio anthology) and (audio box set)—therefore requiring (prose anthology) and (video box set)—or should they all just get (anthology) or (box set)? In this case, we would not be distinguishing by medium in the dab term.
 * 3) Where's the nearest place I can find food? God, I'm famished. I'll be back!
