Information related to the actual ''release'' of the file: ''group'', ''release date'', ''CRC status'' and ''version''.

If the origin of a file is unknown, i.e. ''no group'', then most of these fields have no meaning and should therefore not be set. Release date can be set for no group files, but only when it can be reliably determined. | ||

====Release date==== | ====Release date==== | ||
The date when the group released the file. Usually provided on the group's homepage or on | The date when the group released the file. Usually provided on the group's homepage or on the relevant torrent tracker page. Release dates should be added according to the time of release in the UTC time zone, so sources whose timezone is known are preferred over ones displaying dates in unknown timezones. | ||
====CRC status==== | ====CRC/hash status==== | ||
Indicates whether the file entry in AniDB represents a perfect copy of the original file or not. You may request a change of this status if it hasn't been checked yet. Read more about [[Wikipedia:File verification|file verification]] if you are unfamiliar with this subject. | |||
{{eyecatch|Note|Not all groups provide checksums for their files. This means that this status has no meaning and will have the value "not checked against official CRC/Hash".}} | |||
=====Allowed sources for official hash===== | |||
* Official .sfv (CRC checksum) or .md5 (MD5 checksum) files (good source) | |||
* CRC listing on official page or in the topic of the group's IRC channel (good source) | |||
* CRC tag in the filename: | |||
** If the file is from the fansub group's official torrent or DDL, then the file name is acceptable. (good source) | |||
** CRC tags added afterwards by third parties should not be considered a valid source. | |||
** It should be noted that you should also check the actual calculated CRC of your file and compare it to the CRC in the filename to ensure that you don't yourself have a corrupted file. | |||
=====No-lookthrough rule for CRC/hash verification===== | |||
CRCs and other hashsums are only considered valid for verification if they are calculated '''directly''' from the target file in its entirety. This means that indirect checksums like the following ones are not to be considered: | |||
* Checksums of a ZIP/RAR/etc. archive (or set of archives) containing the file in question, even if the archive only contains one file | |||
* The inherent block-level checksums used by the BitTorrent protocol | |||

====Censored==== | ====Censored==== | ||
Only used and available for files with pornographic content. In rare borderline anime entries not classified as 18 Restricted, both uncensored and censored versions may still be available; in this case, include "Censored" or "Uncensored" in the file description field instead. | |||

===Statistics=== | ===Statistics=== | ||
This section provides some basic insight on how many users claim to have had this file and what kind of media they currently have it on. The following statistics are given: | |||
* ''internal'': The number of users who currently have the file on their hard disk. | |||
* ''external'': The number of users who have stored this file on an external storage, such as a NAS or a burned DVD. | |||
* ''deleted'': The number of users who formerly had this file but don't have it anymore. | |||
* ''unknown'': The number of users who haven't specified the location of this file on their mylist. | |||
* ''total'': The total number of users with this file on their mylist. Clicking on this link opens a detailed list of those users. | |||
Do note that not all users share the storage status of their files publicly, or in some cases don't even allow to see you on the user list, and in this case the first four numbers may not sum up to the total number of users. | |||
