|The number of channels of audio for a file - 2.0 is standard stereo, and it is also the most common. Other valid options include 1.0 for mono, 4.0 for Dolby Surround, 5.1 for Surround, and there are also 6.1 and 7.1, but those are so far very rare.

====Romaji====
====Romaji====
|You should only give the romaji title for titles that already have kanji titles. If there is an official romaji title (I doubt it), that is what you should provide, otherwise you should take a look at the [[AniDB Definition:Romanisation|AniDB Romanisation Guideline]], and try to follow that as closely as possible.

====Kanji====
|For kanji-titles, you should always specify a source - especially for conflicting entries. This should definitely be a japanese site. And preferably it should be the official site for the anime.

===Play Length===
|If you have access to the episode, you can supply the length of the file for this field - if not, you can for example search for the correct length on google and provide sources from there.
{{eyecatch|Note:|The source should be Japanese, as too often the English version of the anime is cut.}}
It is suggested that you search using the kanji name of the anime and episode in order to get the best results on google.
 
In order to help you find where the number of minutes for the episode is listed, try to find the kanji character "&#20998;", meaning minute.

===Air/Release Date===
|If you cannot find a date for the episode on the official site, you can try one of the sites listed in the [[Where to find release dates for anime]] section of the wiki.
 
If this does not help (often, they only display when the first episode of the anime aired/was released), you can try the same approach as for the play length: google for the kanji titles of the anime and the episode. Hopefully you will find a site that lists all the episodes properly.

===Description===
|Most people do not read the description as it is not readily available - but in this place, you should probably describe if it is a recap of a number of episodes, or any similar details. It is advised not to bother with actual descriptions of the episode in question - but I guess noone is stopping you.

=Groups=
When it comes to groups, things can change all the time, they can move their channel, they can get a new website, they can start focusing on other aspects of fansubbing. Each of these changes should be provided with an actual source, be it in the form of a website, a forum post or an irc chat log.

===Sources===
----
{{eyecatch|Note:|For every change you propose, you should specify your source.}}
 
====Website====
Mainly, the group's own website should be used a source for most/all of your group-creqs.
 
====Forum====
In some cases, the forum may suffice.
 
====Channel====
If the group doesn't have a website or forum, logs from their irc channel may be used - but you should make sure that what is said is not meant as a joke, and that it is said by a person who actually knows what they're talking about.

===Name/ShortName===
|If the wrong name/shortname is entered for a group, change it here - and provide coroborating evidence that it isn't just another group with a similar name.
 
Note that for shortnames, sometimes the wrong name is entered because it clashes with another group's (short)name.
|-
|colspan=5 style="border-top: 1px dotted gray;"|
|-
|colspan=3 valign=top|
===URL===
|Specify the official URL of the group if it has one - if the group provides bittorrent links on their main page, that page will '''NOT''' be allowed to be entered. Try to find a page that doesn't have any torrent links on it - perhaps their news-page or forum if they have one.
|-
|colspan=5 style="border-top: 1px dotted gray;"|
|-
|colspan=3 valign=top|
===EMAIL===
|If the group has an email they want to be contacted on, provide it here - it would be preferable to have a source for this.
|-

===IRC===
|-
|colspan=5 style="border-top: 1px dotted gray;"|
|-
|
|colspan=2 valign=top|
====Server====
|Here you should provide which server the group's channel resides on - if you find old outdated (e.g. irc.mircx.com) servers listed here, try to find where the group moved on to, and list that.
|-
|colspan=5 style="border-top: 1px dotted gray;"|
|-
|
|colspan=2 valign=top|
====Channel====
|Here you should specify which channel the group has - you can usually find this info on their website or forums, or they might specify it in their released files.
|-
|colspan=5 style="border-top: 1px dotted gray;"|
|-
|
|colspan=2 valign=top|
====Password====
|If their channel has a password you need to know in order to join, you should specify it here (if you know it).
|-

|-
|colspan=3 valign=top|
===Picture===
|If the group has an official picture they want to use, use the [http://anidb.info/cgi-bin/picupload.pl Pic Upload Function] to upload the picture to AniDB, and provide the resulting picture id in the creq.
 
Note:
:* The recommended size for pictures is 300x400.
:* Don't use animated pictures.
:* There is no size limit, but the picture should stay under 100kb, if possible.

===Description===
|Enter a description of the group - this could include what kind of releases they make and if they're still alive and such - but try to keep your personal opinions out of it.
 
If you want to voice your opinions on their releases you should use the anime-group-comments function on the anime pages instead.

===Parent/Child Groups===
|If a group is a parent or child group of another group, unless you added the actual entry yourself you cannot fix this outside of the [http://www.anidb.net/forum/viewforum.php?f=3 DB Change Requests forum]. You should start a thread named something like "<tt>[GROUP][PARENT] Groupname</tt>" and specify which group is parent to which group in the post.
|-
|colspan=5 style="border-top: 1px dotted gray;"|
|-
|colspan=3 valign=top|
===Group-anime-status===
|You can request to set the status of an anime for a group to "dropped", but not any of the other states - they are all automatic.
''[[Groupentries:Status|further information]]''
 
If you want to set a group's status to dropped, use the [http://www.anidb.net/forum/viewforum.php?f=3 DB Change Requests forum] and specifically the thread: [http://www.anidb.net/forum/viewtopic.php?t=4024 <nowiki>[Status][Dropped] releases by groups</nowiki>].
