Well it really depends. If it becomes a subject of front page news e.g. adapted for anime, North America license announcement, copycat criminal, banned by Tokyo governor, etc., then the chance of getting approved within 24 hours will increase significantly. If the title is very niched, with a very small fan base and virtually no media attention, then of course it might take longer to be noticed. |

The rating graph will not appear for titles that have too few votes (at the moment, fewer than 11 votes) It will also not appear for "quarantined" titles; for example Sky Blue is not anime but a Korean animation, so while it's in the Encyclopedia for historical ad-hoc reasons it does not show up in the regular listing for the letter S and does not have a rating graph. |

The Golden Rule is that a new season should always be submitted as a separate series, to prevent ginormous pages with bazillions of credits. If the episode count doesn't restart at 1 in the new season, it's not problem to have the episode list pick up where the previous season left off. So you could have episodes 1-13 in series 1 and episodes 14-26 in series 2. The Golden Exception is that if a lot of data has already accumulated in a single series for multiple seasons, then it's far more trouble to split than it's worth. Ratings, especially, are not really splittable. These series should be left as they are unless there is a strong consensus that for some specific reason we need to undertake the work of splitting them up. |

Including a great deal of information is the goal of the Encyclopedia, so minor spoilers are fine and often inevitable. People who look up detailed information about a show should understand the potential for spoilers. But major spoilers are to be avoided if possible. For example, don't reveal major plot twists in the plot summary, and don't reveal a character's secret identity in the cast list if doing so would spoil a big surprise (like "Luke I am your father").

While this information is not strictly necessary, it is part of the original credits. Also, in situations where two people have the same name but worked at different companies it's very helpful in establishing which credit belong to which person. So we encourage people to add the company name as a precision when it's specified in the original credits as above. We recommend keeping it separate from other precisions, so rather than submitting a credit with "eps 1-3; Company ABC" it's better to submit it twice, once with "eps 1-3" and once with "Company ABC". |

While the main scope of the ANN Encyclopedia is anime and manga, we sometimes include certain other types of works that are of interest to anime and manga fans, either because they are stylistically similar or because they are part of the same franchise. This includes but is not limited to: * novels (including light novels) * manhwa (Korean manga) * OEL manga * Japanese live-action (including tokusatsu) * Korean animation An Encyclopedia editor may, at his sole judgment and discretion, add such a title to the Encyclopedia if he judges it is 'of interest' to anime fans. But we don't want to turn this place into an Encyclopedia of everything and anything remotely connected to Japan. In order to preserve the focus of the Encyclopedia, these "not anime/manga but related" works are not displayed in the alphabetical listings. They can still be found when searching by name or by genre, and they are displayed in the "Related anime" section of relevant titles. But they are simply not part of the Encyclopedia's main scope, and we're keeping them out of plain view to help prevent mission creep. |
