This page is the comprehensive guide to adding new data to AniDB. It is very important that our users provide as complete data as possible when adding new data. If incomplete data is added additional workload on other users and our staff is generated, to prevent that there are some very easy ways which are listed below. Some of the adding functions mentioned below actually generate so called 'Change Requests' (short: CReq) when used by regular users. This means that your additions will have to be reviewed by the AniDB moderators or users who have special access rights.

* If an anime entry already exists with exactly the same [http://wiki.anidb.net/w/How-to:_Naming_Convention official name], then the year of the new anime's airing date is suffixed in brackets. [http://anidb.net/a9568 Kakumeiki Valvrave], and [http://anidb.net/a9949 Kakumeiki Valvrave (2013)] are examples of this convention.

===Collection-Song Relations===
There are two ways to add Collections
* A the [http://anidb.net/perl-bin/animedb.pl?show=addcollection direct] approach
* B the [http://anidb.net/perl-bin/animedb.pl?show=collectionlist collection list]'s bottom
[[Image:Add collection template.png|thumb]]
Both will lead you to the same template, shown on the right.


==Songs==
Adding a collection is not hard and also doesn't take much time. The fields are mostly self-explanatory, but some may have their troubles with it.<br>
There are various approaches on how to reach the template to add a new song:
Type: Album and Single --> Is the collection I'm adding a Single or an Album?<br>
* a) the [http://anidb.net/perl-bin/animedb.pl?show=addsong direct] approach
"Entity should be shown on the anime page if possible": Check this Box if you want the collection to show up on the Animepage's Collection Tab, which it's "related" with.<br>
* b) the [http://anidb.net/perl-bin/animedb.pl?show=songlist Songlist]'s bottom
Tracks: How many tracks are on the complete collection? That includes all tracks from all discs, if there are more than one.<br>
* c) Anime page - Tab: Songs - add/edit songs - Add New Song
Released: When has the collection been released to the japanese market?<br>
or
Anison URL: Copy the Anison URL into this field.<br>
* d) via Collections
Catalog No: Every release has a unique Number with which you can find it, the so-called Catalog No.<br>
Picture ID: Use the [http://anidb.net/cgi-bin/picupload.pl AniDB Picture Uploader] to upload a picture of the Cover and insert the ID in this field.


The first two ways (a and b) are in fact the same. Here you will create a "floating" Song, that has no relation to anything whatsoever.
You are not forced to add a Description but if you feel like it, you can add one.  
Way c results in a different template with additional fields.
Way d will result in yet another template that differs again from the other 2.
 
'''''Template A and B'''''
[[Image:Add_song_template_a.png‎|thumb]]
This is the most spartanic template. With this you will create "floating" songs - songs that have no relations whatsoever. The fields are - hopefully - self explanatory.
 
'''''Template C'''''
[[Image:Add song template c.png|thumb]]
Template C has 3 new fields: Relation Type, Version and Episode Restriction.<br>
You reached this template via the Anime page thus you won't create a "floating " song, but one that is directly related to an anime.
* Relation types are: theme song, opening, insert song, ending and image song.
Important: Here you set the relation from the song to the Anime!
If the song has been played as an Opening, set the relation to opening; has the song been played as an Ending, set the relation to ending and so on.
 
* Versions are: normal and instrumental only/karaoke.
This is very important: a song, that is for example played as BGM (BackGround Music) has the relation normal, even though it's instrumental only. This version is reserved for songs that are usually with voice, but played as instrumental only/karaoke in the anime. So the version type is usually normal.
 
'''''Template D'''''
[[Image:Add song template d.png|thumb]]
In comparison to template A+B and C, template D has 2 new fields: Medium No and Track No; as well as the already known field Relation Type (but with new types).<br>
* Relation Types are: tv version (alternative), normal, tv version and instrumental only/karaoke.
Important: Here you set the relation from the song to the collection!
Medium No: this field is for numbers only, usually it's a simple "1" when the collection is a 1-Disc release. If there's a second disc and you add a song from the 2nd disc, then you have to add a "2". --> Which CD is the song on?
Track No: numbers only --> Which number has the song on the album/single?

===Collection-Song Relations===
or: How to add songs to a Collection


After you finished adding the collection, it's empty. There are 3 ways to add songs:
* A Add Relation
* B Massadd New Songs
* C Add New Song
[[Image:add song relation.png|thumb]]
====Tab Add Relation====
This is only for songs that are already present in the DB.<br>
Song: Enter the song's name<br>
Type: Chose between the relation types: tv version (alternative), normal, tv version and instrumental only/karaoke<br>
Medium No: Usually 1, but if the Collection has more than one Discs, you add the Disc No<br>
Track No: Add the number, the song represents on the collection<br>


Click 'Search' and chose the song, you want to add to the collection.


====Tab Massadd New Songs====
Massadd allows you to add more than one song at once with the same amount of data as a normal template.


[[Main Page]]
There are 5 different ways to massadd, which are all quite self explanatory:

Of course we want you to add as complete data as possible. If you - for example - don't have a length, you can just leave the field empty. For example 3, method 3 would look like this: 1;*Asterisk;*~アスタリスク~;;http://anison.info/data/song/31834.html
That of course means, that we want you to add all tracks to the collection you added. If you list 89 songs to be part of "your" collection, we expect to find 89 songs there. So don't be lazy!
===Collection-Anime Relations===
To have a collection shown on the Discography Tab on the Anime page, it simply needs one song from the collection to be "related" to the anime.<br>
Adding a direct Collection-Anime Relation is not possible.
[[Image:Add anime relation.png|thumb]]
====Tab Add Related Anime====
When being on a song's page you can find the 'Add Related Anime' tab. The template you reach is shown on the right.
These four fields are self explanatory:
Anime: Which anime does the song "belong" to?
Relation: Choose from theme song, opening, insert song, ending and image song
Version: Choose from normal and instrumental only/karaoke
Eprange: In which episode has the song been played. If it appeared in more than one Episode either use "-" or "," as separator.
