Most creqs are done to the files, as they are often entered wrong, and a lot of the time, things in AniDB change, and the file entries need to be updated because/in preparation of this. | Most creqs are done to the files, as they are often entered wrong, and a lot of the time, things in AniDB change, and the file entries need to be updated because/in preparation of this. | ||

These are usually the most easy creqs to make, as you generally do them if you have the file at hand, and notice that things are wrong/missing in the file entry. It should be enough to auto-creq files with [[Avdump]] in most cases. There are however some fields that is not handled when auto-creqing. These are specified below. | These are usually the most easy creqs to make, as you generally do them if you have the file at hand, and notice that things are wrong/missing in the file entry.

The easiest things to creq changes to in an anime entry are probably the ANN/ANFO/allcinema URLs, pics and description - all you need for those are basically search-skills and/or writing skills.

For episodes, the easiest thing to fix is probably the play length - it is not always an exact measure, as it only stores minutes, and people do not tend to round consistently, so if the info is 1 minute off, that is most likely the reason. You can easily get the play length from most files (unless they contain multiple episodes). When it comes to the different titles, you need a good source, and usually fansub-translations will not suffice! | For episodes, the easiest thing to fix is probably the play length - it is not always an exact measure, as it only stores minutes, and people do not tend to round consistently, so if the info is 1 minute off, that is most likely the reason.
