It's all relative, after all. + </dd><dt>External links</dt><dd> + Links to external resources about this visual novel. To get the URLs, go to the + sites (<a href="http://en.wikipedia.org/">Wikipedia</a>, <a href="http://visual-novels.net/"> + Visual-novels.net</a> and <a href="http://cisvisual.net/">CISVisual.net</a>), + search for a page about the game, and determine the ID or name of that page to fill + out in the text boxes. Do not specify the full URL, we only need a small part of + it! + </dd><dt>Related anime</dt><dd> + Some visual novels (e.g. <a href="/v4">Clannad</a> and <a href="/v3">Utawarerumono</a>) + have anime adaptions, and some visual novels were adapted from an anime series. Use + this field to specify these related anime for the visual novel.<br /> + Anime should be specified using <a href="http://anidb.net/">AniDB</a> IDs. To add an + anime, just search for it on AniDB and add the numeric ID of the entry (found in the + <i>aid=xxx</i> part of the URL) to the edit field. Multiple IDs should be seperated + with a whitespace.<br /> + If the visual novel already has a relation with an other visual novel, and both games + have an anime adaption, the same anime does not have to be added to both games. For + example, <a href="/v264">Da Capo</a> has two anime adaptions + (<a href="http://anidb.net/a837">837</a>, <a href="http://anidb.net/a2832">2832</a>), + and <a href="/v266">Da Capo II</a> as well. (<a href="http://anidb.net/a5419">5419</a>, + <a href="http://anidb.net/a5652">5652</a>) But the relations for Da Capo II do not + have to be added to Da Capo and vice versa - the internal visual novel relations will + take care of that.<br /> + After submitting a new AniDB ID, VNDB will automatically fetch information about the + anime and will present that on the site. This action can take a few minuts to - in the + worst case - hours. In that time you will see the ID of the anime, but not the title + and links to AnimeNFO and Anime News Network. It is not possible to manually add this + information, this will be fetched automatically! + </dd> +</dl> + + +:SUB:Categories +<p> + It is possible to select relevant categories for visual novels, where the relevance + can be ranked using a number from 0 to 3, where 0 indicates the category does not + apply at all, and 3 means that the category is very dominant in the game.<br /> + See <a href="/d1">Categories</a> for descriptions about each category.<br /> + Just as with the <i>Length</i> field, this information is very subjective.
