Style / Titles / Volume numbers
| Status: This is an official style guideline. |
Applies to releases that are part of a series.
When a release is one of a series and are labeled as volumes, separate the volume number from the main title by a comma like so:
- “Release title, Volume 2”
Example
- “UK Space Techno, Volume 5”
- “Café del Mar, volumen cinco”
Details
This guideline is a specification of the more general Series numbers guideline. See that page for principles and details.
Alternative names for volumes may be used, such as “Tome”, “Book”, “Part”, or their non‐English equivalents.
- Note that if the main title of a Release is just “Volume 1” or similar then this guideline should not apply!
- Also note that the guidelines for abbreviations say that you should not use abbreviations in titles. So “Vol.” should always be expanded to “Volume” (assuming the release language is English).
- Also note that the subtitle of a release of a series must be formatted according to the guidelines for subtitles.
