Note: This policy currently has a pending overhaul. There are many Story Arcs in Epithet Erased.
Future Plans[]
Although with the Season 1 adaptions (EP 1-4 Novelization & EP 5-7 Novelization) of these arcs there will be two pieces of media sharing a story. So once official names for the adaptions are released that will be the Arc Titles. It should also be noted that Season 2 will use the Prison of Plastic and Sweet Escape story arcs but due to this and future seasons likely to never be made, these should just be treated as the arcs and all official arc names for these stories will redirect to their pages. If these seasons are made we will of course treat them like Season 1.
Why we need Story Arcs[]
Story Arcs allow for easily referring to a specific story instead of saying something like, Epithet Erased Ep 1-4/EP 1-4 Novelization. Instead we can just say "Museum Arc". And once the name for the Novelization is announced a page will be created with the correct Arc name. In short, arc names are needed when an arc covers multiple pieces of media.
When & How to use Arc Names[]
You should use the Arc name whenever you are referring to a specific story, and that it is true in both versions of the Arc.
Currently you should when referring to the following two arcs do it like so,
