Changed
Creating Characters Voice Actors Staff and adding Banners are now done through the subpages of the anime and manga forms rather than a standalone submission.
The Novel sourcehttps://anilist.gitbook.io/submissionmanual/submissionform/general/typings/source has been renamed to Light Novel
Parent relation can no longer be set.
The Adaptation relationhttps://anilist.gitbook.io/submissionmanual/submissionform/relations has been changed so that it now has the opposite relation of Source to make identifying the the source material easier.
Example: Chihayafuruhttps://anilist.co/manga/43245/Chihayafuru/
Light novel to manga adaptations that previously incorrectly used the Alternative relation will now use Adaptation and Source being treated the same way as anime adaptations etc.
Example: Mushoku Tenseihttps://anilist.co/manga/85564/MushokuTenseiIsekaiIttaraHonkiDasu/
Novels and Web Novels from any accepted country of originhttps://anilist.gitbook.io/submissionmanual/submissionform/general/typings/countryoforigin are not eligible to be in the database and any existing entries that have been added over time have been or will be deleted. The only allowed novel type is Light Novelhttps://anilist.gitbook.io/submissionmanual/beforeyoubegin/writtenmediainformation/lightnovels.
Effect should be minimal as barely any users track Chinese or Korean web novels on this site as much better alternatives are available. Professionally published manhua and manhwa are still allowed.
The incorrect statement on the previous manual that extra chapters such as certain prologues epilogues and .5s are not included in the total chapter count has been removed.
Effect should be minimal as they were still being included where correct.
Recommended minimum image dimensionshttps://anilist.gitbook.io/submissionmanual/beforeyoubegin/imagedimensionsandtemplate for creating or cropping images have been changed.
The doujinshi format has now been replaced by a licensedhttps://anilist.gitbook.io/submissionmanual/submissionform/general/misc/licensed toggle to specify whether the work is doujinshihttps://anilist.gitbook.io/submissionmanual/beforeyoubegin/writtenmediainformation/doujinshi.
