This matter occured to me when an AonE staff member was asking about how come their own release list doesn't match the 'files released' in AniDB, the answer was that they count joints, we count joints separately under the sub group entry.
What I'm thinking, is to merge sub groups with their aprents groups, that the release list of the sub groups would be displayed on the parent groups pages.
Something like this:
<General group info page would remain the same>
- Animes Released by <parent group>:
- xx animes and xxx files released by this group.
- Animes Released by <sub group>:
- xx animes and xxx files released by this group.
- xx animes and xxx files released in total.
Like this, when going by the current layout.
I'd also want to request 2 cahnges to the DB:
- 1) Change 'subbed' to 'released' as R1's are presubbed already.
2) DON'T count CRC incorrect filenames to the total ammount of files released by a group, unless it has been set like that from the start
Well, it'd be more group friendly as AniDB is slowly, but steadily getting more involved with fansub groups and it would give a better overview of the projects the group has been involved in.
Things that I couldn't yet find a solution for: what would happen to the sub groups entries, would they remain just like they are now, or they'd need some changes as well.
I'll make the tracker entry later, unless I receive strong opposition, I've talked with EXP about it, he didn't deny it, but he was wondering if we really want it like that.
