I have read the contribution rules and realize it is okay to include an episode anthology to the overview section.  (This could also work in the episode divider for the cast as well.)

Now, my question is, "Is there a rule on how they are listed regarding how they should or shouldn't be numbered?"

Is it okay to number the episodes as per season? For example a season one pilot episode would be "100. Pilot" Whereas a season 4 episode would be "418. Last Episode."  Is this okay, or should we just number like, "00. Pilot" and "18. Last Episode?"

I prefer to include the season as well, but would be interested in what everyone else thinks!

I'd prefer just episode number starting from 1 or 01 and no season. That's already in the profile title.

Same here... actually I asked a similar question recently with a few more options and still people put in more preferences. Variations have now come up (including my original question) add up to:

1. XXX
1 - XXX
1: XXX
1 XXX
1) XXX
01. XXX
01 - XXX
01: XXX
01 XXX
01) XXX
1.01. XXX
1.01 - XXX
1.01: XXX
1.01 XXX
1.01) XXX
101. XXX
101 - XXX
101: XXX
101 XXX
101) XXX

and probably more...

... and that was before discussions on whether a pilot is Ep 1 or Ep 0. What if there is more than one pilot? What if a pilot episode originally transmitted as one is split in two? What  if a pilot episode originally transmitted as two parts is combined into one?

Should the divider be EPISODES:, Episodes:, Episode List:, Episodes comprise, <nothing> (plus loads of variations) and whether there should be a line after the 'divider title' or not?

FWIW the general consensus seemed to be NOT to put in series number as this was more than covered by the title at the top of the screen (and not to add anything like dates of transmission) but not a lot else of agreement was reached!

FWIW, in my local i have recently started to use

Episodes:

1.nn: <title>

However, this is very much my personal preference; I think it goes beyond the concept of a "simple list" as noted in the Rules, so I don't make changes to profiles already extant in the online. As for pilots, when I get them in a box set I call them 1.01: <title>.

Thanks, yes she's mine... well she was part of the package when I asked my now wife to marry me but I was more than happy to take on both of them

She doesn't normally look that serious (more often than not just hungry or asleep!) but she does have that 'dusty/muted' colouring, it's not a trick of the light in the photo.

Madame Mole and #1 Miss Mole are at the vet at the moment with our two Siamese (the two Burmese were done earlier this morning) for their annual 10,000 purr service......I think I'm becoming clairvoyant....I foresee a large bill approaching

I'm not voting because this option wasn't up for vote.  This is the syle that I think most everyone has been using.
