One thing to note, if you add a character WITHOUT the official Japanese name and WITHOUT any links whatsoever, well that's just lame and makes it quite hard to track down the character to see if that's really his name and what not, but alas, we're not as strict with characters as we are with creators. I bet we have quite a number of characters by now whose name order is wrong or who don't meet [[AniDB Definition:Romanisation|our romanisation standards]].

==Note from nwa==
{{eyecatch|Note|This section is verbatim copypasta from the bottom of {{short|post83248|The Big One}}.}}
Note from nwa: since we're all here too lazy to actually write guides and standards, I'm afraid you guys just need to check the existing examples of data for now. If there are any questions regarding the addition of characters/creators/songs/staff credits or anything else related to the new features, please ask so in the forum. Hopefully some day there will be a notes section on the add/edit pages. But for now, just remember that AniDB is meant to display the original Japanese data, character and creator names depend on how they were given in the video or on Japanese sources (family name vs given name order anyone?). Oh, and... NO spaces in Official Japanese names, and always try to provide them!
* Examples of full cast: {{a|4563|Death Note}}, {{a|584|Ginga Eiyuu Densetsu}} (the Cast tab, click on "show all" at the bottom of the table)
* Examples of full staff credits: {{a|4526|Top wo Nerae! Gekijouban}}, for something that's still ongoing - {{a|6080|Queen's Blade}} (the Staff tab, can also check Staff per episode)
* Examples of full anime OSTs (collections): [http://anidb.net/co14 Cowboy Bebop Original Soundtrack 3: Blue], [http://anidb.net/co2 Gankutsuou Original Soundtrack], and a single - [http://anidb.net/co22 Hemisphere]
* And for something completely chaotic, useless, yet somewhat awesome - [http://anidb.net/pics/graph/c-186.png warning - may crash your browser] (will certainly crash older browsers).
