{{eyecatchLight|1|Note|The text between '''<''' and '''>''' is a just a placeholder!}} | |||
====Based on - misc info==== | |||
If you have information on what the anime was '''based on''' (e.g. manga or game), then add a line at the top of the description by prefixing it with the '''*''' (asterisk) character. See ''D.N. Angel'' as an example: | |||
* Based on a shoujo manga series by Sugisaki Yukiru serialised in Monthly Asuka. | |||
{{eyecatchLight|1|Note|This is also a good place to mention other misc information, i.e. special versions of the anime available, release dates (only if pertinent), etc.}} | |||
====Anime spoiler-free description text==== | |||
Try to write a concise "appetizer" for the animation, that describes the story without giving away spoiler-related content. There are several sources for such descriptions: Use the official R1 DVD descriptions (preferred on AniDB), or you could write one yourself, or you could simply copy 'n' paste an existing description from one of many anime sites, or from Wikipedia. | |||
{{eyecatchLight|1|Important|When copying content always credit the source, and also make doubly sure that you are actually allowed to copy the content! For the English Wikipedia this is usually OK.}} | |||
{{eyecatch|Note|In case someone finds a '''better''' description, any previous description | ====Crediting the source of the description==== | ||
As mentioned there are several sources for an anime description. Here is how to credit them: | |||
* The best way is to use the '''official R1 DVD''' descriptions in which case you do not need to give credits. | |||
* On the other hand, if you have '''translated''' the description from a R2 DVD or have '''written one yourself''', you can credit yourself like this: | |||
[i]- written by <your_nick>[i] | |||
:For example: ''- written by fooBar'' (use the [i][/i] tags for italics). | |||
{{eyecatchLight|1|Why credit yourself?|This is mostly to prevent situations like the following: One of our users writes a description, the description is copy/pasted to ''AnimeNfo'', someone from ''AnimeNfo'' comes and complains about taking their description and not crediting them, a mod adds a ''Source: AnimeNfo'' to the description, later the user who wrote the description notifies that he, in fact, wrote it, a mod removes the ''Source: AnimeNfo'' again.}} | |||
* When you '''copy''' the description from a site that has written/translated the description itself (e.g. ''AnimeNfo'', ''ANN'', ''Anime-Planet'', etc.), then please '''credit the site''' you copied it from using the following scheme: | |||
[i]Source: <site>[/i] | |||
:For example: ''Source: ANN'' (use the [i][/i] tags for italics). | |||
{{eyecatch|Note|In case someone finds a '''better''' description, any previous description may well be replaced.}} | |||
