Summary0001921: Use ABBR tags for episode type abbreviations
DescriptionFor a long time I had used anidb without knowing what the "S" or any other episode prefix indicated. Trying to document Notifications on the wiki, I learned via IRC that "S" == "Special" (eg a bonus ep). From there I was able to track down a few more codes buried in the wiki.

... and then I forgot ...

Fortunately, I remembered that these codes were from the wiki and with some more digging was able to re-locate that information; however, what is missing is direct association without having to try to locate the information on the wiki.
Additional InformationGiven the codes are abbreviations (and rather than wait until I forget again), I have created a greasemonkey script to wrap the prefixes with ABBR tags using information from the wiki:

var eps = document.querySelectorAll('#eplist .eid, .episode');
for (i=eps.length;i--;) {
  var ep = eps[i];
  var type = ep.textContent.match(/([A-Z]+)?[0-9]+/);
  if (!type || type.length != 2 || !type[1]) continue;

  var abbr = document.createElement('abbr');
  switch (type[1]) {
    case "S": abbr.title = "Special"; break;
    case "C": abbr.title = "Credits/Opening (Op)/Ending (Ed)"; break;
    case "T": abbr.title = "Trailer/Promo/Ad"; break;
    case "P": abbr.title = "Parody/Fandub"; break;
    case "O": abbr.title = "Other"; break;
    case "OP": abbr.title = "Opening (Op)"; break;
    case "ED": abbr.title = "Ending (Ed)"; break;
    default: alert("Unrecognized episode type: " + type[1] + "\nUpdate the Greasemonkey Script"); continue;
  }
  abbr.textContent = type[1];

  var textnodeparent = ep;
  while (textnodeparent.childElementCount) textnodeparent = textnodeparent.children[0];
  textnodeparent.insertBefore(abbr, textnodeparent.firstChild);

  var textnode = textnodeparent.childNodes[1];
  textnode.deleteData(0, type[1].length);
}

While this is now WORKSFORME, it would be nice if this was integrated into anidb so it would continue to WORKSFORME even if I logged in elsewhere (and did not have the above greasemonkey script).
