 ===Anime titles - official titles===
-This type is meant to ONLY be used for licensed titles. Don't use it if that's not the case.
+This type is meant to ONLY be used for titles from official releases of the anime, not your own or fansubbers' translations. Use 'synonym' for unofficial versions and other variations.
-It doesn't still have to be licensed in your country to count, but once upon a time this should have been the case. This means even if there never was a DVD release this can be used if it aired on TV as someone must have owned a license for this to have happened.
+Official titles can be historical - from past discontinued releases or television airings, as well as (non-bootlegged) VHS or DVD. If there are multiple official titles from different releases, add the newest/commonest only as 'official title' and others as synonyms.
-If there are multiple official titles then the newest one counts.
 Always provide a source for this when doing a creq.
