So for example, instead of having a link that looks like this: | ||
http://anidb.info/perl-bin/animedb.pl?show=animelist&adb.search=Hachimitsu&do.search=search | |||
which might not even work correctly if, say, the anime gets a sequel; in which case that link would lead to a search page listing both those anime. What you rather should do instead is link to the actual anime page for the anime. Such a link always contains an <tt>'''aid'''</tt>, or an '''a'''nime '''id'''. For ''Hachimitsu to Clover'' that <tt>aid</tt> is '''2835''', and the link would look like this: | |||
http://anidb.info/perl-bin/animedb.pl?show=anime&aid=2835 | |||
Now, if you use '''short links''' the link is even more convenient: | |||
http://anidb.info/a2835 | |||
Let's review. We have the search-link, the anime link, and the short link:<tt> | |||

You can use whichever you like, but for convenience, isn't the short link easier to use and remember (as long as you remember the aid)? | You can use whichever you like, but for convenience, isn't the short link easier to use and remember (as long as you remember the aid)? | ||

Now, it isn't only to anime pages that AniDB sports short links, most things you can think of also have short links: | |||
; Anime : <tt><nowiki>http://anidb.info/</nowiki>'''a<aid>'''</tt> - link to the anime details of an anime. | ; Anime : <tt><nowiki>http://anidb.info/</nowiki>'''a<aid>'''</tt> - link to the anime details of an anime. | ||
