Expressions like "Double Feature" are not always entered in the same fashion in the database.

Sometimes, it is at the end of the title:

Profile: 014381775921


Title: Def-Con 4 / Hell Comes to Frogtown - Double Feature


Edition:


Region 1







[


or at the beginning:

Profile: 031398232520


Title: Double Feature - The Butcher's Wife/Frankie & Johnny


Edition:


Region 1










or even in the edition field.

Profile: 883929343355


Title: 3 Days of the Condor/ All the Presidents Men


Edition: Double Feature


Region A









Furthermore, there does not seem to be a standard regarding the separator between the title of  movie. From the titles above, " / ",  "/"  and "/ " are used.


How about "Double Feature: " at the beginning of the title, then a list of all movies separated by " / " like in:

Double Feature: The Butcher's Wife / Frankie & Johnny
Double Feature: 3 Days of the Condor / All the Presidents Men
Double Feature: Def-Con 4 / Hell Comes to Frogtown

These are editions, not part of the title.

Could you point precisely to the relevant part of the rules justifying such a definite position?

EDIT: I am not argumentative; I really want to understand the rationale.Take for instance:


Profile: 025192099809


Title: 4 Movie Marathon: Family Comedy Collection


Edition:


Region 1


Released: 22/03/2011









If you are right, then shouldn't '4 movie marathon' be the edition?

This is how I am doing it as well...

I also believe stuff like 4 Movie Marathon and Film Favorites belongs in the edition field.

For my local I would leave out "Double Feature" altogether, because I find it superfluous. I can see by the title that it's a double feature, so adding that to the edition field doesn't add any useful information.

That said, I'm OK with it being contributed to the online database in the edition field.
