Note	If you are unfamiliar with change requests, see creq first.

Anime

On the bottom of each anime-page you can find a request edit link where you can change the title, type, episode-count, release-dates, producer, URL, image and description. Explanations of the different values can be found in How to add new Anime to AniDB. Also see where to find information on release dates.

Anime-Companies

Each anime entry has a separate page for editing/adding/deleting of anime-companies. The link to this page can be found on the navibar on the bottom. Request removal and request edit work as expected.

Companies

Below the request edit link there is a section named "Add/Edit". In this section you will find a link that reads "Company"; in order to make full use of the new companies system you can use this link to add companies to an anime, please see how to add/remove: Companies. If you want to change relations for companies to the anime or remove them completely, this can only be done via a creq through the Change Requests forum. Please supply a source for these kinds of changes.

Episodes

By clicking on an episode-number, you can reach a pop-up with the episode's details and the "request edit" link. There, you can change every property of an episode. Explanations of the different values can be found in How to add new episodes to AniDB. To delete a episode, move it to a different anime or merge it with another episode, please post the reasons in the Change Requests forum.

Files

When expanding the episodes on an anime-page, you can reach a list of files assigned to each episode. Clicking on the (mostly 5-digit) file-id in front of each line opens the file-details pop-up with the usual "request edit" link. You can change all properties of a file here. Explanations of the different values can be found in Tutorial:How to Add Files for Dummies!. To edit a file, delete a file, move it to a different anime or merge it with another file, use the edit, delete, move, or report buttons on the file's details page.

Groups

Every group detail page has a "request edit" link. To reach this page, click on the group-name anywhere in AniDB, for example in the grouplist. There, you can change most properties of a group-entry. Explanations of the different values can be found in How to add new groups to AniDB. To add or remove a sub or parent group, please use the Change Requests forum.

Titles

Each anime entry has a separate page for editing/adding/deleting of titles. The link to this page can be found on the navibar on the bottom. Request removal and request edit work as expected.

You can add new categories by first showing the current categories for an anime and then selecting either Add Category or ass Add Category, depending on if you only want to add one or many categories.
