[bug]producers disappeared
After I've made a creq to change anime description and it was approved, the producers field somehow became clear. Might be a mistake by the mod, but it can also be a bug connected to the new year system of AniDB, because that field has also been marked as changed.

Thanks for clarifying.
Does that happen automatically with any edit?
I think it's not right to just destroy that information, some of it is very old and rare, and not easily recoverable.
Maybe you can add some notification to the mod to convert the old format data, and not just purge it into oblivion with any little typo correction?
As for the creq I mentioned, those companies and original creator are not in the anidb producers list, so I can't add them(at least not in the easy way).

because the data in the old field is manually entered and could contain hell knows what. it's generally not trsutworthy. anyway i migrated most of the useful data long agoPetriW wrote:I think the problem he's trying to point out is that the referenced anime no longer has any producers at all and thus he wonders why we've erased old useful information. (Aka, not migrated it.)
