 ===Anime Title===
-In most cases this is the romaji title.
+The Anime Title is the "main title" that AniDB associates with the anime entry. In most cases, this is the Japanese/Korean/Chinese transcription of the official original-language title.<br>
-Please also read our [[AniDB Definition:Romanisation|Romanisation]] Guideline for further assistance with this.
+Please also read our [[AniDB Definition:Romanisation|Japanese Romanisation]] Guideline for further assistance with transcribing Japanese.<br>
+Please also read our [[Content:Titles|Titling policy page]] for more rules on titling.
-''Example:''
+''General example:''
-  Official English title:          Fullmetal Alchemist
+  English official title:   [http://anidb.net/a6107 Fullmetal Alchemist: Brotherhood]
-  Official Japanese romaji title:  Hagane no Renkinjutsushi
+ Japanese official title:  鋼の錬金術師 FULLMETAL ALCHEMIST (2009)
+  Japanese romaji title:    Hagane no Renkinjutsushi (2009)
-Though there are exceptions like {{a|438|You're Under Arrest}} for which the official title is in English or some other language. In those cases the romaji title is to be added as a synonym. In case of the {{a|438|You're Under Arrest}} that would be ''Taiho Shichauzo''.
+If the same title has been previously used in the past, the newer anime generally gets the year-of-release appended to distinguish it from the older anime.
+In general, if the official Japanese title comes with a foreign language portion, generally (but not always) English, that foreign protion is included in the Official Japanese title.<br>
+However, if the foreign portion is "otherwise ignored", we would drop it from the transcription. "Otherwise ignored" refers to, but is not limited to: on websites, in the media, in the Japanese trailer.
+Please read our [[Content:Titles|Titling policy page]] for additional details and explanations regarding all titling issues.
