I did a short last year and since then, it has been redeveloped into a web series.  How do I get it to say it is a "web series" instead of a "short" so I can add multiple episodes?  I created the page last year.

Hi, Jay Reyna.

I think you need to create the series page and then merge the short as episode there, or connect the short to the series. What exactly to do depends on how actually the short went transforming into series.

MAthePA's advice is correct and since it appears you have already released the original version (https://www.imdb.com/title/tt8555256/releaseinfo) you should create a separate TV-series for the new show (and add the plot keyword "web-series").

Once the new title has been created, you can connect it to the original short via a connections submission as described on https://help.imdb.com/article/contribution/titles/movie-connections/GNUNL9W2FTZDGF4Y ... it sounds like "spin off" / "spin off from" (or maybe "follows").  For a related example, see https://www.imdb.com/title/tt7517016/movieconnections which is a web-series spin-off from The Walking Dead.
