Is it possible to change the 'Source:' entry when submitting error information? Clicking the 'I' brings up two links: "error | source", and clicking on the 'source' link just populates a field with "watching the anime" already filled in (note I've only ever submitted errors for anime pages, so I don't know about what populates on other classification pages such as manga).

Clicking on the 'error' link just calls up a page with the format at the top as:

Anime: [name of series]
Episode titles:
#. [name of episodes]
Sources: watching the anime

The 'Sources:' section is already filled in with the same 'watching the anime' entry.

Can this be changed by the error submitter somehow? Or is it in the works, or something else?

Thanks.

Why would you want to change the source?

If the information is erroneous, submit an error report and include a link to your source for the correct information. If it's right, just leave it alone.

The only reason I can think of to change the source would be because the information is correct, but you want to update the source to something more valid (like a URL to an official website or something). Is this correct ?

If you have a better source than the one already there but the information itself is correct, just submit it as an endorsement.

Just tho't to ask. In perusing the database, from time to time an error comes up that's obvious even tho' I've not seen the anime in question. Spelling errors, plot summary corrections or rewrites needed due to transliteration issues, etc. etc.

Not important enough to add more code, I guess. Cool
