:TITLE:Adding/Editing a Producer
:INC:index


:SUB:When to add a producer
<p>
 A producer entry should be created when adding a release of a visual novel made by a
 producer not yet listed in the database. Producers that don't have any releases listed
 in the database may be deleted after a while, so only create an entry if you're going to
 link it to a release. For a producer to be listed, they're required to have at least
 released one completed product. Which means that for translation projects, only add the
 group as a producer when they've actually finished a project.
</p>

:SUB:Relations
These relations provide information about which producers are related to each
other, and how they are related. Choosing the correct relation may be a bit
confusing, check the relation graph of the producer entry in case of doubt.
The following relations are defined:
<dl>
 <dt>Formerly</dt><dd>
  The current producer was earlier known as the selected producer. This can be
  because of a name change, or when the earlier producer disbanded and the same
  people started again under a different name.
