I think the distinction between series, box set, and anthology is splitting hairs. What are the actual differences between UNIT: Extinction, Epoch, and The Worlds of Doctor Who that would make them have different dab terms? We should just have one unified approach for "audio releases with more than one story" that doesn't depend on how Big Finish marketed a particular release or whether the stories contained therein are narratively linked.
I think volumes, boxsets, and series should all get pages. If it has an individual title, like UNIT Extinction or Gallifrey IV, use that. If it's labelled a series or volume with no banner title, it should be the name of the range followed by Volume X or Series X, whichever is listed on the packaging or website. Alternatively, series could follow the naming convention we use for TV, like "Series 4 (Gallifrey)", for example. There should be series pages whether the series was across individual releases or a single boxset.
As for the dab term, I think "audio anthology" can stay, or maybe "audio collection". "Boxset" isn't backwards compatible.
