-Feel free to link to the AniDB mainpage or directly to any AniDB entry. However, please do not link to any images hosted on AniDB (i.e. anime images).
+Feel free to link to the AniDB mainpage or directly to any AniDB entry. However, please do not link to any images hosted on AniDB (i.e. anime images) - it's easy to take the image and upload it to a [[#Image Hosting|free image hosting]] site.
-There is currently no official AniDB banner/button, but you could use one of these inofficial ones:
+There are some handy shortcuts for linking the main entries, like anime, in neat short urls. Rather than linking the perl script with the relevant parameters:
+:http://anidb.info/perl-bin/animedb.pl?show=anime&aid=275
-http://www.anidb.net/pics/banner/anidb_inofficial_banner1.gif http://www.anidb.net/pics/banner/anidb_inofficial_banner2.gif http://www.anidb.net/pics/banner/anidb_inofficial_banner3.gif
+Or even worse a link that goes through the search:
+:http://anidb.info/perl-bin/animedb.pl?show=animelist&adb.search=nausicaa&do.search=search
-{{eyecatch|!|Please don't link to these images, copy them to your webspace first!}}
+You can take the entry ID and make a neat little link:
+:http://anidb.info/a275
+This works for anime entries - anidb.info/a{anime id}, episodes anidb.info/e{episode id}, files anidb.info/f{file id}, groups anidb.info/g{group id}, and users anidb.info/u{user id}.
