This one is similar to the search results from 曲 (Kiyoku). The only change is that it doesn't show information on other songs that have the same string as a part of the name, but only for this one song. This specific page here tells you that the song Asterisk has been used for the TV Bleach as an Opening (Opening 1 to be specific) and for the Game Bleach: Hit the Soul as an Opening. This table will also inform you, if a song wasn't in an Anime at all. This would look like: | This one is similar to the search results from 曲 (Kiyoku).

This page is the most important page for people that want to add whole collections.<br> | |||
The page lists at first the collection's name, though it's not always being used as a whole! | |||
{{Eyecatch|1|Hint 7|Anison likes to list "Collection Name/Performer" - like in this case "Asterisk / Orange Range", of course only the first part is needed when adding collections to AniDB.}} | |||
What follows is a one-line-table. The reddish fields are the contents, the yellow ones the information. In our example it's like this: | |||
* メディア --> マキシシングル (Medium: Maxi Single) | |||
* '''型番 --> SRCL-5885''' (Catalog Number: SRCL-5885) | |||
* '''発売日 --> 2005年02月23日''' (Release Date: 23.02.2005 (dd.mm.yyyy!)) | |||
* 価格(税抜) --> 1165 (Price (without tax): 1165 (yen)) | |||
Two of these are only important for AniDB adding. | |||
The last table shows you the content of the collection, ''''that Anison is listing''''. | |||
{{Eyecatch|1|Hint 8|This doesn't automatically mean that the Disc only has 3 Tracks, as it's in our case.}} | |||
The other table's contents are: | |||
* 収録トラック (Track number) | |||
* 曲名 (Name) | |||
* 歌手, 作詞, 作曲, 編曲 (Staff information) | |||
* 演奏時間 (Length) | |||
As an extra Anison links to the Amazon.jp website's specific collection entry. Here you can find for example a better picture for the upload and the complete tracklist (in 99% of the cases).<br> | |||
For our case it shows you that there's indeed a 4th track, that's not listed on Anison: <br> | |||
4. *~アスタリスク~(ロマンティックVer.) --> Asterisk (Romantic Version). So never trust Anison that it lists all songs and better check other (valid!!) sources, as we of course want only complete collections added. | |||
====People/Band/Performer Pages==== | ====People/Band/Performer Pages==== | ||
[[Image:Anison performer page (orange range).png]] | [[Image:Anison performer page (orange range).png]]<br> | ||
This page is important for "virtual Bands" such as [http://anidb.net/cr5012 Momotsuki Gakuen 1 Nen C Gumi] or [http://anidb.net/cr4782 Zetsubou Shoujo-tachi] that consists of characters. It will show you who's part of the group and who's behind it.<be> | |||
For normal bands it shows you at first the members in the 固有情報 (Specific Information) Box with their function in the band. | |||
The contents of the table are: | |||
* 担当 ("in charge of: / responsible for:") | |||
* 曲名 (name of the piece of music) | |||
* ジャンル (Genre) | |||
* 作品名 (name of the work it appears in) | |||
* OP/ED | |||
That means - for the first row: Orange Range were the Performers (担当) of Asterisk (曲名) for the TV (ジャンル) (Anime) Bleach (作品名), which has been used as Opening 1 (OP/ED). | |||
So this page can take you either to the song's or the Anime's page. | |||
==Help! The link in the Linkbar always stays the same?!== | |||
Yes it does, but to get the specific link there are three "tricks": | |||
* You right-click on the link you need and choose "Copy Link Location" | |||
* You click on the link, hold it and put it into the destination field vie drag and drop | |||
* You simply open the link in a new tab via 'middle click' or 'Open Link in New Tab" at the earliest possible time (for example after the search results). From here on the linkbar will always change according to the page you are on. | |||
