- TODO: Something about quoting sources in descriptions here
+ It is possible to add a description or notes to visual novel, producer and release entries
+ in the database. While original descriptions are preferred, using descriptions from external
+ resources is allowed, provided the source is properly credited. The preferred form to credit
+ external resources is by adding the following template to the bottom of the description:
+ [From [url=URL]title or author[/url]]
+ This would result in, for example, '[From Wikipedia]'
+ for descriptions taken from Wikipedia. If the description is not literally taken from the
+ source but has some modifications, the 'From' should be replaced with something similar,
+ indicating that it's modified, e.g. 'Edited from', 'Based on'.
+ As it is not allowed to provide links to websites providing or promoting illigal downloads,
+ the URL part should be left out for such descriptions.
