Groupentries:Status
The Groupstatus displays information about the current state of a release. Group release comments, such as sources for subtitles and raws, are also stored here.
This information is displayed in the groupinfobox on every anime entry and in the Groups page for every listed group in AniDB.
| Note | This feature doesn't have to be 100% correct as its data is generated by AniDB automatically for most parts and is very dependent on the users. This means if users didn't add all files a group released it won't show the "true" status. Please note that the states are not updated in real time. See: Routine maintenance |
Animegroup Release Note Comments
To be completed...
Possible States
(assuming all files released by the group got added to AniDB)
- complete
- The group released for every episode for a specific anime in AniDB at least 1 file.
- finished
- The group released at least a file for the last episode of an anime.
- ongoing
- The group hasn't finished/completed this series yet. The release is still ongoing.
- stalled
- The group hasn't released a file for this series for at least 2 months.
- specials only
- The group released only special Episodes, but none of the regular episodes.
- dropped
- The group has officially abandoned this project or the group does not exist any more.
- THIS IS THE ONLY STATE SET MANUALLY BY MODS.
- N/A / unknown
- The state of this release is currently unknown. This should generally be changed automatically to one of the other states within 24h.
| Note | Ongoing, stalled, finished, specials only and complete are automatically generated states! They're usually not set manually by a mod. |
| Note | For movies where there are releases recorded as multi-part episode entries (such as Princess Mononoke or Hanamonogatari), state "complete" will be indicated as long as a group has released at least 1 file, regardless of if that file is a "part x" file or the "complete" file. This is NOT a bug, and this will not be changed. |
How it works
ongoing to stalled
AniDB only check for the highest added file for an episode by a group to set states. A timestamp gets set for this episode and if a higher episode doesn't get released in a defined timeframe it gets set stalled. Adding lower episodes won't change the timestamp.
ongoing/stalled to finished/completed
A release will get considered complete/finished by AniDB if at least a file for the last ep gets added. AniDB compares the highest file with the total ep count set for the anime. If those match it's finished. If a group even released a file for every episode of this anime it's complete
dropped/stalled to ongoing
This is identical to ongoing/stalled to finished/completed. Once an episode with a higher number than the one with the timestamp gets added it gets updated to another state.
ongoing/stalled to dropped
This process is manual! Set accordingly on the anime or groupages
