- Make sure the work, character, actor, or staff isn’t already in the database.
{% hint style="info" %} You can check by running English, native language, and romaji titles through the search and browse sections, as well as going through the credits of relevant staff and characters. {% endhint %}
- Always include as much detail as possible, as well as link to as many sources as possible in the sources panel (even if it is in a language you can’t read).
- If you find a duplicate entry, contact a moderator.
- The nationality of a creator does not matter if their work is first professionally published by a reputable Japanese, Chinese, Korean, or Taiwanese publisher for their respective markets (See Country Of Origin). Example:
Thiago Furukawa Lucas (author of No Game, No Life) is Brazilian-Japanese, but the work was initially published with Kodansha in Japanese, so his work is considered a light novel.
{% hint style="info" %} If you’re unsure about anything, contact a moderator and they'll be happy to offer advice or help.
However, please do not expect that you can hand a moderator a link and have them do all the work for you. {% endhint %}
