Applies to [[Release]]s that are part of a [[Series]].

'''When a release is one of a [[Series]] and are labeled as volumes, separate the [[Volume Number|VolumeNumber]] from the [[Main Title|MainTitle]] by a comma like so:'''

:'''"''ReleaseTitle'', Volume 2"'''

=Example=

"''UK Space Techno, Volume 5''"

"''Café del Mar, Volumen Cinco''"

=Details=

This guideline is a specification of the more general [[Series Number Style|SeriesNumberStyle]]. See that page for principles and details.

VolumeNumberStyle can be combined with [[Disc Number Style|DiscNumberStyle]] like so:

:'''"''ReleaseTitle'', Volume 3 (disc 2: ''DiscName'')"'''
:'''"''ReleaseTitle'', Volume 1: ''VolumeName'' (disc 1: ''DiscName'')"'''

Alternative names for volumes may be used, such as Tome, Book, Part, or their non-English equivalents.
* Note that if the [[Main Title|MainTitle]] of a Release is just "''Volume 1''" or similar then this guideline should not apply!
* Also note that the [[Abbreviation Style|AbbreviationStyle]] says that you should not use abbreviations in titles. So "Vol." should always be expanded to "Volume" (assuming the [[Release Language|ReleaseLanguage]] is English). (but see below for discussion)
* Also note that the [[Subtitle|SubTitle]] of a release of a series must be formatted according to [[Subtitle Style|SubTitleStyle]].
