==Text credit character entries== | |||
Text credits are used for character appearances when either: | |||
# There is insufficient data is available to create a full character entry (missing full name, character image, episode appearance data, etc). | |||
# A character is clearly a superficial and/or inconsequential background character. As a general rule of thumb, only create full character entries for "true" characters, and not "background" characters. | |||
## Common examples include "Boy A", "Woman C", "Nurse #1", "Student C", "Goddess B", "Old Lady", "Gentleman", "Witch", "Shopkeeper". | |||
## An exception may apply if the background character is consistently recurring, suggesting their importance is more than superficial and/or inconsequential. | |||
When adding text credits, the preferred format is "English (Kanji (Romaji))", if you know all 3, "Romaji (Kanji)" if you aren't sure of the translation and "Kanji" if you're unsure even about the reading. | |||
