Create MultiS and MultiPubS notes templates. The following was posted on the Community Portal on 2019-02-09:

Back in October [2018] we added two linking templates: "S" for regular/title series and "PubS" for publication series. We also discussed adding two more templates, one for multi-series titles ("MultiS") and one for multi-pubseries publications ("MultiPubS".) The discussion petered out because we couldn't decide what kinds of parameters the proposed templates should take.

Perhaps a tentative solution would involve the creation of 2 "Multi" templates without parameters. They would simply expand to something like:

MultiS: "Note that this title belongs to multiple series. Because of software limitations, only one of them currently appears in the Series field."
MultiPubS: "Note that this publication belongs to multiple publication series. Because of software limitations, only one of them currently appears in the Publication Series field."

If and when we add support for multiple series/pub. series, we should be able to search Notes for these templates and update the data. In the meantime we could use these templates in conjunction with "S" and "PubS", which support linking. Something like:

{{MultiS}} The other series is {{S|A Modern Witch}} (volume 4).

which will expand to:

Note that this title belongs to multiple series. Because of software limitations, only one of them currently appears in the Series field. The other series is A Modern Witch (volume 4).
