Short Trailers for TV shows

Do we add short trailers for TV shows (I am working on an entry for a web series that has four trailers from YouTube, ranging from 33 secs to 58 secs- one for each season, and one for the series as a whole) on TMDB under "Type: teaser"? Or do we still add them as "Type: trailer" (no matter how short or long they are)?
If we add them as "type: teaser", should we title the as "Teaser Trailer" or "Trailer" or "Teaser"?

The titles are auto generates. I would add them as teasers.

Yeah, but aren't you supposed to edit the auto-generated titles? Or is that only for movies? https://www.themoviedb.org/bible/movie/59f3b16d9251414f2000000a
Really? What would you title them as (if I'm correct that we're supposed to edit the auto-generated titles).

The auto generated titles is a pretty new addition. Good catch! We should update the bible about it!

So what am I supposed to title the trailers for the web series I'm adding?

Are you saying all videos added to TMDB should be left with their auto-generated titles? (We should never edit the auto-generated titles?)
