+:SUB:General info
+<dl>
+ <dt>*Title</dt><dd>
+ The title of the visual novel as it is known to the English speaking audience. If
+ there is no English version of the game available, you should either specify the
+ romanized (recommended) or translated (not recommended) version of the original
+ title.
+ </dd><dt>Aliases</dt><dd>
+ Visual novels can be known under several names, use this field to add any aliases
+ and acronyms used around the net. Official titles of releases should not be added
+ here, as these are already listed in the releases.
+ </dd><dt>*Description</dt><dd>
+ Short description of the main story.
+ </dd><dt>Length</dt><dd>
+ Very rough estimate of the time required to finish all endings of the visual novel.
+ To determine the length of a game, it's often better to ignore this time indication
+ and instead compare it with other games you've played. 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. Just
+ use the category descriptions and common sense to determine which categories to
+ select and what relevance to apply.
