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. | |||
== Adding new Companies == | |||
=== To Anime === | |||
If the credit is in English, add the nearest equivalent from the list ''that only consists of English'' - add the varieties with Japanese in brackets only if ''that exact credit is given'', in the video or from a reliable source. For generic 'Production' credits in English, use 'Financial Production', absolutely not 'Production (製作)'! Widespread copying of translated credits from certain user submitted sites (we're talking IMDb, ANN, English Wikipedia) is '''not''' a useful occupation, find something worthwhile to do instead. | |||
== | === To AniDB === | ||
==== Companies ==== | |||
Do your 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 paletted 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. | |||
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}} | |||
== Removing bad entries == | |||
=== From an Anime === | |||
If you added a bad entry yourself you can remove it. If you didn't you don't have the necessary rights to remove it. Please post the entry which should get removed here: {{ForumLink|21|Change Requests forum}} | |||
=== From AniDB === | |||
If you added a bad entry yourself you can remove it as long as no one used this entry. In that case you don't have the necessary rights to remove it. Please post the entry which should get removed here: {{ForumLink|21|Change Requests forum}} | |||

The information on this page needs to be updated to reflect the current status of AniDB.
Remove this message when done.
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.
Adding new Companies
To Anime
If the credit is in English, add the nearest equivalent from the list that only consists of English - add the varieties with Japanese in brackets only if that exact credit is given, in the video or from a reliable source. For generic 'Production' credits in English, use 'Financial Production', absolutely not 'Production (製作)'! Widespread copying of translated credits from certain user submitted sites (we're talking IMDb, ANN, English Wikipedia) is not a useful occupation, find something worthwhile to do instead.
To AniDB
Companies
Do your 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 paletted 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, add a note rather than creating a stubby entry.
Example of useful company entries: J.C.Staff, manglobe, Satelight
Individuals
As a rule, don't add entries for individuals unless it will make a link between anime not already provided by the 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 note up instead.
Example of useful person entries: Asamiya Kia, Shintani Kaoru, Wada Shinji
Removing bad entries
From an Anime
If you added a bad entry yourself you can remove it. If you didn't you don't have the necessary rights to remove it. Please post the entry which should get removed here: Change Requests forum
