Support for credits is still in quite an embryonic state in AniDB, however use the new system in preference to the old text field in anime entries, just make sure you understand the guidelines below. | |||

For generic 'Production' credits in English, use 'Financial Production', absolutely not 'Production (製作)'! Widespread copying of translated credits from certain user sumbitted sites (we're talking IMDB, ANN, en.wikip) is '''not''' a useful occupation, find something worthwhile to do instead. | ||

==== Companies ==== | |||
==Removing bad entries== | Do you best to find some info on the company - just putting the name into a search engine is generally enough to find some information. Logos should be in palletted png form, 150x150 pixels, though in case of wide logos, feel free to use a wider image, 200x150 or 250x150. Other stuff to look out for from official sites is what the company actually *does*, foundation date (give in yyyy.mm[.dd] form), and if they are related to any other companies. If you can't find any info on them and it seems unlikely that they'll be credited for anything else, [[Content:Companies/Notes|add a note]] rather than creating a stubby entry. | ||
===From an Anime=== | |||
Example of useful company entries: {{Producer1l|3|J.C.Staff}}, {{Producer1l|271|manglobe}}, {{Producer1l|331|Satelight}} | |||
==== Individuals ==== | |||
As a rule, don't add entries for individuals unless it will make a link between anime not already provided by the [[Content:Relations|relations]] graph. If you're a big fan and willing to do the research to make a useful little entry, feel free, but don't add stubs that consist of only a name, stick a [[Content:Companies/Notes|note]] up instead. | |||
Example of useful person entries: {{Producer1l|306|Asamiya Kia}}, {{Producer1l|295|Shintani Kaoru}}, {{Producer1l|362|Wada Shinji}} | |||

TMS ([http://www.tms-e.com/ Homepage]) seem to permanantly using different names for themselves, and though there should be a clear division between the production and the animation division, this is not entirely clear in the credits.
