Apart from chapter 11-12, it has a chapter 20 (No choice in duty)

There are 20 episodes only if 11 and 12 are split, which shouldn't be the case.

Otherwise, there are only 19 episodes ("No choice in duty" being episode 19 as visible here).

If you treat 11 and 12 as the same episode, the rest need to be renumbered and 12 missed out. Episodes are mislabelled when using the data within Jellyfin.

As visible on this archived page, this season was originally broadcasted as only 19 episodes, numbered from 1 to 19. 12 wasn't left out.

There is another example at the start of Season 4 where there is a "feature length" double episode that is now treated as 2 separate episodes back to back despite being broadcast as 1 episode, this causes no issues with the metadata of the rest of the season. In this case, the "2nd" episode number was skipped at the time, but now exists as 2 episodes.

Consistency is all that is being asked for.

The start of the 4th season has been fixed.

Does it take time for the changes to propagate? Episode 2 is still missed out and called episode 3.

It should be episode 3 as it was called by the network.

So in Season 3 why isn't the episode after 11 Siege Protocol, 13 Fog of war? Again, the lack of consistency is the problem.

Because it is numbered as episode 12 by the broadcaster.

Again, the lack of consistency is the problem.

We are consistent with what was done by the original broadcaster.

Yes, and now it is labelled as episode 12 because that is how the episode is now being consumed.

Why must it be consistent with how it was, when that is no longer relevant to how it is currently being consumed.

If someone wants to look something up concerning this particular episode whilst watching it (or the rest of season 3), they are being shown incorrect information that will just confuse them...

Information about quirks of the original broadcast should be stored in separate fields or addendums.

All our listings are and should be based on the way the series were originally broadcasted. This is the basic rule of this site. I quote : "Episodes should be added exactly as they first aired on the original network (title, date, order, season). "

So a historical record is more important that actual, useful information? Got it.
