For example (for you, eschwartz) if we added "Files" onto that list, the series "The Dresden Files" would be shortened to "Dresden" instead of "DF". So if the series name is "The Home Series" (as in, that is the metadata that downloads, complete with "Series" at the end) it would be shortened to "Home" rather than "HS." "The Impulse Trilogy" would be "Impulse" instead of "IT".

I decided we can do this after all.

We will edit the #stripped_series field, which is already removing the leading (A|The|An) and the full scan will look like this:

(^(A|The|An)\s+|\s+(Files|Series|Trilogy)$)

So instead of:

Name: #stripped_series. Template: {series:re(^(A|The|An)\s+,)||}

We will use:

Name: #stripped_series. Template: {series:re((^(A|The|An)\s+|\s+(Files|Series|Trilogy)$),)||}
