The standard is that special features for a movie go on that movie's profile. Special features that are other movies of their own, not documentaries about the feature, get their own profiles. Special features discs that cover multiple movies get their own profile.

I can name many other releases that has bonus discs which have been profiled. LotR: TFotR, Spider-Man, Apocalypse Now... These are single movies and not multiple movie box sets...!

They should be removed immediately, is all I can say. The problem is that new contributions are virtually *always* accepted - even if those profiles shouldn't exist.


Where should the bonus disc id and content be captured; under the box set profile?

There shouldn't be a box set profile if it's not a box set. You were responding to a question about single-movie releases. Special features for a movie should be on the movie's profile.

So is it different for these bonus feature film discs?

Yes, that's entirely different indeed. While a disc of bonus material for one film doesn't get it's own profile, a "Bonus Feature Film" does. "Bonus Feature Films" are specifically addressed in the contribution rules on the bottom of this page.

Actually this is self-explanatory.
However, how do we know if the examples I gave are Bonus Feature Films?
I haven't watched either of the LotR special discs, but I am assuming they are featurettes or documentaries.
Looking at the rules it seems a Bonus Feature Film is a production made like a movie or a short.
I don't think even Hearts of Darkness falls into that category, as it's "only" a documentary.

I just feel like we are splitting hairs here.
