 Titles are how you identify an anime - there are many different kinds, both official ones and common ones as well as abbreviations. No anime can have have the exact same title as another. The Official Main Title (the transcription of the original language title ) is listed at the very top of each [[animeentries|animeentryanime entry]], and at the top of the details table next to the image, the . The rest of the titles are listed as well as what kind of with language and title they aretype details. Anyone can add a title to any anime, with the restriction that if there already is an anime with that exact same title, it won't work. Please ; please use the [[search]] functionto check for overlaps. Only Anyone can request that a title be edited or removed, but it will have to be approved by a [[User:Mods|modsmod]], so state a good reason for why you wish it to be edited or removed. [[AniDB:Creq Guideline|More Info...]] To be merged into here: [[Content:Episodes#Episode Names (English)|episode titles]]. ==General Guidelines=====Capitalization===For rules on capitalization, please consult the [[Capitalisation|capitalisation]] guide. ===Foreign Language Portion of Official Japanese(/Korean/Chinese) Title, a.k.a. "Taglines"===# '''Official language title''': In general, if the official original language title, in the video or otherwise, comes with a foreign language portion, generally (but not always) English, that foreign portion is included in the Official language (Japanese, Chinese, Korean) title.## If the foreign language tagline is otherwise ignored, such as a marketing message or a narration (see the [https://anidb.net/c7432967 Symphogear example]), don't include it in the Official CJK title.## If the foreign language tagline is a '''transcription''' of the CJK title, do not add it to the CJK title; e.g. ''"{{short|a9875|キルラキル KILL la KILL}}"'' becomes just ''"キルラキル"''.## Otherwise, always add the foreign language tagline ('''translations''', a narrative snippet, a dialogue snippet, etc.) to the Official CJK title; e.g. ''{{short|a12195|纳米核心 NANOCORE}}'', ''"{{short|a9541|進撃の巨人 attack on titan}}"'', and ''"{{short|a8370|神様のメモ帳 It`s the one who added only NEET thing to do.}}"''.# '''Transcription title''': If the anime can remove titles foreign portion is "otherwise ignored", it is excluded from an the transcription. "Otherwise ignored" refers to, but is not limited to references to the anime: on websites, in the media, in the Japanese trailer. If you feel ## In the Main/Transcription title, do not transcribe the foreign language tagline if the removal foreign language tagline is simply a '''translation''' (e.g. ''"{{short|a9541|進撃の巨人 attack on titan}}"'' is transcribed only to ''"Shingeki no Kyojin"'') '''OR''' a '''transcription''' (e.g. ''"{{short|a9875|キルラキル KILL la KILL}}"'' is transcribed to only ''"Kill la Kill"'') of a the CJK title.## Otherwise, add the foreign language tagline to the Main/Transcription title; e.g. ''"{{short|a8370|神様のメモ帳 It`s the only NEET thing to do.}}"'' is transcribed to ''"Kamisama no Memo-chou: It`s the Only NEET Thing to Do."''. ===Disambiguation===Sometimes two or more anime get the exact same title. AniDB does not allow multiple anime to have the same title , though, so disambiguation is necessaryrequired. The older anime (the one that has the earlier release date) gets the original title, and the newer anime gets a disambiguation bit at the end. Then: {{eyecatch|Note|Do not '''ever, under any circumstances or for any reason,''' make up your own fake season numbering. Other sites do it, but you we don't . Season numbers are given if, and only if, they are already present in the title, such as in the cases of {{short|a12952|Overlord II}} or {{short|a10944|Shingeki no Kyojin Season 2}}. Furthermore, when season numbers are in the title, they are given '''exactly in the same way''' as presented originally, '''not''' in any other way.}} # Absolutely do not append anything to the older anime. If both anime have access the exact same release date, or it is impossible to tell, just report one of them and let the mod figure it out.# If the two anime are of '''the same type''', then '''append the year''' to thisthe newer anime, please use '''even if they're released in the same year'''. The year should be '''within parentheses'''.# If the two anime are of '''different types''', then:## If '''the release year is the same''', then '''append the type''' to the newer anime. Unlike the year, the type '''does not take parentheses'''.## If '''the release year is different''', then '''append the year''' to the [httpnewer anime. Again, it should be '''within parentheses'''. A few supplementary rules apply if you are trying to disambiguate more than two anime://anidb # If the rule tells you to take the year and it is already taken, try the type. Similarly, if the rule tells you to take the type and it is already taken, try the year. In either case, '''inform the mod of what exactly you are doing''', as there may be a better way to handle the case.# If both type and year are already taken, try both, in the "(Year, Type)" format.net/perl-bin/animedbDo not use any other formats.pl?show=forum&id=21 Change Requests forum]# In the highly unlikely event all else fails, just report the entry and a mod will figure out how to best handle the case.
