The easiest things to creq changes to in an anime entry are probably the ANN/ANFO/Allcinema URLs, pics and description - all you need for those are basically search-skills and/or writing skills. Also, you can add new titles, categories, companies, and relations without an actual creq; however if you want to change/delete one of those, you need to make a thread about it in the [http://www.anidb.net/forum/viewforum.php?f=3 DB Change Requests forum]. | |||

For most things, websites are the best source. | |||
{{eyecatch|Note:|They should generally be in japanese!}} | |||
====Images==== | |||
For a couple of things, you may need to specify an image as a source - if the image is not already on the web, you can use one of AniDB's [[Recommended Links#Image Hosting|Recommended image hosters]] to host your picture. | |||
If you need to take a screenshot, [[How to take a screenshot|here is a guide on how to do that]]. | |||

===Titles=== | ===Titles=== | ||
| | |You can '''add titles yourself''', by just clicking the "Add/Edit: Synonym/Short Title" link at the bottom of an anime entry, and there you can just add the title quite easily; take note that if the title is bogus, you will likely be banned from AniDB. If you want to test this out, you can use the {{a|357|Test Anime}} to do it. | ||
If you want to '''change or delete''' a title, you can only do this through the[http://www.anidb.net/forum/viewforum.php?f=3 DB Change Requests forum], and you should start a thread named something like "<tt>[TITLE][DEL] Anime title</tt>". | |||

If you want to '''delete or change''' a category, if you added it yourself, you can just hit the "Del" link next to the category, and in order to change it, just add it again, with the correct value. However, you can't delete categories someone else added, so in that case you'd need to go to the [http://www.anidb.net/forum/viewforum.php?f=3 DB Change Requests forum] and request the category to be "<tt>[CATEGORY][DEL] Anime</tt>" and state which category that should be deleted. | |||

===Type=== | ===Type=== | ||
|If you want to change an anime's type, you should provide a good and valid source for your information; type-changes are not very common at all - usually the person who added the entry knew what type of anime was coming (or else he wouldn't have been allowed to add it until there was more concrete information about the anime (AniDB is '''not''' a news-site!)). Provide links! | |||

===Episodes=== | ===Episodes=== | ||
|The number of episodes for an anime can change at almost any time (even (though rarely) when it's already over; if the studio wants to continue with the same anime (rather than making a sequel)), and as such, AniDB requires the official word of the studio for this change - just because ANN and/or AnimeNFO have changed their entries does not mean AniDB will. Allcinema is a much better source, but you should still try to find the official studio's memo. Provide links! | |||

===Companies=== | ===Companies=== | ||
|Adding companies can be done directly, just click the "Add/Edit: Company" link at the bottom of the anime-entry. There you should specify what kind of connection the company has to the anime, and then the company name. A mod may at any time confront you with requiring confirmation on these matters - you should be able to provide a screenshot/photo (if you watched it on tv) of the credits, or a link to a good (japanese) listing. | |||

===URL=== | ===URL=== | ||
|If the official URL has changed, or is not entered, and you find the correct one, just enter it - these are generally Japanese. Generally, you don't need to provide source for these; the creq is its own source after all. | |||

|If the anime doesn't have an [http://www.animenewsnetwork.com/ ANN]/[http://www.animenfo.com/ AnimeNFO]/[http://www.allcinema.net Allcinema] link, search the respective website and provide the correct id/part of the link. | |||
Sometimes some of the sites (read: ANN) have more than one entry for the same anime - in this case, provide a link to the one that is most comprehensive. | |||
Note: for this, you hardly need a source, unless there are more than one entry for the same anime - in which case you should state this and your reasoning for choosing the one you chose. | |||

===Relations=== | ===Relations=== | ||
|You can '''add relations yourself''' by just clicking on the "Add/Edit: Relations" link at the bottom of the anime entry. There you then specify what kind of relation the anime has, and what other anime it has the relation to. | |||
If you want to '''delete or change''' a relation, you haveto use the [http://www.anidb.net/forum/viewforum.php?f=3 DB Change Requests forum] for that. Start a thread named something like "<tt>[RELATION][DEL] Anime</tt>" and state which relation to which anime should be deleted (or changed). | |||

===Description=== | ===Description=== | ||
|If you have seen the anime, and think the description that is currently provided sucks, you can write your own, search the internet for the anime's official description, or fix the description that is currently provided. If you get a description from somewhere besides your own mind, you should specify your source in the description, and make sure that the place you got it from doesn't mind having their descriptions used. If you write your own description after having seen the anime, you are welcome to put your own name/nick as a source in the description. Note however that just as you changed the description, so can anyone change your description after you, so you should be okay with this before submitting your "work". | |||
{{eyecatch|Note:|AnimeNFO descriptions are generally bad, so if you can remove/fix one of these, your creq will most likely be granted by default.}} | |||

|If you can find a better picture than the one currently used, you can upload it to Anidb using the [http://anidb.info/cgi-bin/picupload.pl Pic Upload function] and then enter the image name you were provided. | |||
If your picture is clearly better than the current one, your creq will most likely be granted right away - however, if there is the slightest doubt, the picture change may be voted upon in [[IRC:Anidb|#anidb]], and the picture that gets the most votes stays. If your new picture doesn't follow the rules, you will be asked to revoke your creq.<br> | |||
