Producer field changed to Original Producer [DONE/DENIED]

Post by Ultima »

Could the Producer field for an anime be changed to say Original Producer? I have seen many animes where people have entered the US distributor companies or US licensing companies, which is just wrong imo.

It is a good idea, but would it be enough?

The type of people who are doing it wrong now will probably continue to do so with that label. What if you change the label and add a field for the Ditributor and/or Licensing Company? Then people would more likely recognize the appropriate location for that information and not put it into the Producer Field.

This is more about changing one label and the policy on how it should be used.

A more complete listing of people/companies involved was requested in Feature Requests: Credits for animes. [?]
