How It's Made

This show has dozens of specials listed and I'm not even sure if all of them exist. Moreover, the few specials I was able to find were listed on US Science channel, not the show's original Discovery Channel Canada. Is it really necessary to list all of those specials that are nowhere to find? I just have no idea what to do about it and listing all the specials I can't find would take ages. The series itself hasn't been aired since March 2019.

Also, the last two episodes of Season 32 (14 and 15) are 30x3 30x4 respectively, those I can ask to delete without going down that rabbit hole.

The last two episodes I have removed, however am not entirely sure about the specials itself, so it would be useful if you could explain to me what specials need some of our attention that you may think are not tied to the show.

Specials do need to be rare indeed and the amount here seems a bit overkill. Definitely requires some attention from us.

Considering how Discovery usually generates countless episodes, I suspect that most of those "specials" are actually clip shows, compiled from several episodes on a particular topic. A user's comment on this episode confirms the suspicion https://www.tvmaze.com/episodes/1729953/how-its-made-s32-special-worlds-toughest-rope

Maybe the user, who added most of them, could explain, why there are so many specials in 2020.
@imharv, could you elaborate, please, what are those episodes? 

They are compilation episodes, but for some I just can't find any mention of them. They may have aired and then disappeared since there's no new content and they aren't listed as episodes. And it's not just 2020, there are 5 specials in 2014, 28 in 2015, 15 in 2016, 22 in 2017, 15 in 2018, 35 in 2019 and 60 in 2020. Without going further than 2014 on Science channel's website I can only see Halloween 2020 special which is a compilation episode. And I can't find anything other than regular episodes on Discovery Canada's website. It's annoying getting notifications several times a month for a special that aired once, with nothing new and no way of finding it anywhere.

I just realised nothing's happened because I didn't reply to you directly.

I'd say pretty much all of them require attention except maybe Halloween 2020 since I found it, but that one's up to you as it's a Science Channel special, not Discovery Canada which is listed as the orginal channel here. Like I listed above, there are 120 specials in total in the last 7 years. They are all compilation episodes with no new information except being put in thematic groups like "Royal baby edition" being about prams, children's ride-on cars, disposable diapers and playground spring riders all of which were featured on episodes before (Turns out you can find some of those episodes through less legal ways like youtube and such, but there's no point to it as they're all useless. Also, I think all of them are Science Channel specials).

I forgot to do it, but am on it.
