[More Names request was Seperated from Internal Mod Channel] Dated Aug 2018

Currently these pages are solely just filtered lists of their content. The Addition of actual information about them would inform the user more information about the studio/publisher/etc that currently they would have to google to find out.

Basic information that should be added:

Additional Names!
The ability to have Multiple listed Names and multiple name types ~ English, Romaji, Japanese, Alternate and Past Names added which is displayed publicly on their site pages. I.e

Content Types for Mags and Publishers?
Perhaps have a type option with it as well that suggestions what it is, "Online" "Monthly" "Weekly" and Demographic Types for Publishers (Publishing Labels) and Magazines.

Country of Origin
Ther site adds studios, etc from across the world now that aren't just in Japan. The addition of location would be informative to the user.

Running/Operating Dates
The addition of dates,
  • Listing when they began operating/were created
  • Listing when they ceased operation/publication.
  • If the operating name were to change at any point, the ability to list its history of changes,
    • For anime/manga entries under those Studios/Magazines/Labels/Publishers that changed name. Allow for the name they had at that time to be listed on the page instead of the current name. With Perhaps the current name of the studio in brackets beside it.
    • Example: A manga made and released in Dragon Age Extra would list "Dragon Age Extra" despite the name having later changed to "Young Dragon Age".
  • Perhaps: The ability to list when they went on hiatus and returned if it happened.

Relations!
All things have relations, (like damn KADOKAWA and its 8million brand Companies). Each of these should be able to have relations to eachother!
  • Who owns them
  • What they own (e.g. Relevant Subsidiaries, Magazines, Publications)
  • Sister Companies/Magazines/etc (E.g. A1-Pictures and Cloverworks)
  • Staff employed under them? E.g. Directors (Dunno how to handle this for people who change company and is likely way too much work)
  • etc
Past names history
Listings of past names, when they changed it, what to, etc e.g.

Website Links?
The addition of links to;
  • Company websites, sales portals, English/Japanses sites, etc
  • Social Media accounts (E.g. Twitter, etc)

Similar Feature Requests ---
 
Alternative Proposal for more in depth publisher/label information.

Add support for language/origin for label/publisher, so that the same features can include both Japanese and other language publishers such as English, Chinese, Spanish, etc together opposed to my previous suggestion of a seperate feature/section for them. (https://www.anime-planet.com/forum/...english-publisher-information-feature.335223/)

Along with Filters for them on their respective pages to narrow down what shows up and additions of ability to add the same requested information like Publisher itself, relation to labels, other companies/publishers, etc

On entries the chosen language for each oublisher should only appear as a default for them and support being able to change the language information for that entry if needed to support publishers that release into multiple languages such as Tentai Books or Mon Ponent (both releasing into both English and Spanish despite being primarily spanish)

On entries it could look something like this

Publishers:
Kadokawa (Original) [Japanese]
J-Novel Club (English Translation)
Mon Ponent (Spanish Translation)
