Add/Edit episode: Classroom of the Elite

Hi,

Tried to Edit (technically, add missing title) to latest episode, then received error message.  Refreshed browser (https://www.tvmaze.com/shows/29180/classroom-of-the-elite/episodes) to notice latest episode (as well as future episodes) was no longer listed.

Then, tried to Add episode, to receive: "Please fix the following errors: This entry already existed in the past, so it can only be re-created by a Trusted Contributor or higher."

This happened earlier in the week with another show I follow, but thought it was a transient problem.

Please advise as to what I should do in order to get the update persisted.

Thanks.

I added it now :)

This is happening again (when trying to add latest episode): "Please fix the following errors: This entry already existed in the past, so it can only be re-created by a Trusted Contributor or higher."

Again, please advise on what I should do differently.

Thanks.

you did not make a mistake here, for some reasion someone higer than you deleted that ep before, I will recreate if for you now.

Unfortunately, this (unable to add/update episodes) is happening to a couple other anime I follow, too:

"Vermeil in Gold" (https://www.tvmaze.com/shows/62745/vermeil-in-gold/episodes)

"RWBY: Ice Queendom" (https://www.tvmaze.com/shows/62388/rwby-ice-queendom/episodes)

Could you clear these, too?

Thanks.

Just to be clear: you're not doing anything wrong. We have various system in place to prevent "edit wars", e.g. one user making an edit, another undoing that change, the original user putting it back again, ad infinitum. The error you're hitting is one of these: once an episode has been removed from the site, an episode with exactly the same properties cannot be re-added unless you have a higher access level.

If you hit this situation again in the future, you can report it in the https://www.tvmaze.com/threads/2677/edit-requests thread :)

Makes sense.

Thanks for explaining the rationale.

And, thanks for the URI.
