AniDB is kind of split into two parts: The public side where you add the files visible for everyone and the private side (your [[mylist]]) where you can keep track of the files you have. If you want to [[How_to_add_files_to_your_mylist|add a file to your mylist]], you have to publicly add it to AniDB first.<br>

==Removing bad entries==
If you added a bad entry yourself you can remove it as long as no one put that file to his [[mylist]]. In that case you don't have the neccessary rights to remove it. Please post the entry which should get removed here: [http://www.anidb.net/forum/viewforum.php?f=3 DB Change Requests]
