It would be tremendously inconsistent if not, I'm still waiting. Similar cases got a separate entry.
Stop the sequels high-ranking stupidity.
Group franchises in Top Anime page.
Because Gintama is just "one" anime and not 5.

No, movies can have episodes too. See Memories: https://myanimelist.net/anime/1462/Memories
Doesn't need a separate entry if there's no new footage, just modify the existing entry to split it into episodes.

So the movie is just a series of 5 episodes, or what?

That's how I've understood it, it's kinda weird that you can still only put 1/1 on the watchlist thing though.
uh oh!

This. It should be done so people can mark their progress if they only watched part of it yet. People that watched the movie version can just mark 4/4.
Also so that people who watched just one episode by chance know that there are more and look for them, instead of assuming they watched all there is and it was meant to be crappy and unfinished like that.

Though seeing how much time has passed and it was not done, I guess it won't happen. Weird how I see in MAL UI ways to edit all other stuff but not episode count...

This entry originally was released as a Movie, then split into 4 Episodes for TV broadcast, and MAL always register the first official and professionnal release of the entry. That's the same reason as to why the Mangas follow the first Japanese edition, and that the extra chapters are included in the chapter count.
