The information on this page is incomplete and may not be of much use.
If you can, please help by adding to it.

Intro text. Honest.

Adding new Companies

To Anime

If the credit is in English, add the nearest equivalent from the list that only consists of English - add the varieties with Japanese in brackets only if that exact credit is given, in the video or from a reliable source. For generic 'Production' credits in English, use 'Finacial Production', absolutely not 'Production (製作)'!

To AniDB

As a rule, don't add entries for individuals unless it will make a link between anime not already provided by the relations graph. If you're a big fan and willing to do the research to make a useful little entry, feel free, but don't add stubs that consist of only a name.

Removing bad entries

From an Anime

If you added a bad entry yourself you can remove it. If you didn't you don't have the neccessary rights to remove it. Please post the entry which should get removed here: DB Change Requests

From AniDB

If you added a bad entry yourself you can remove it as long as no one used this entry. In that case you don't have the neccessary rights to remove it. Please post the entry which should get removed here: DB Change Requests
