The encyclopedia has entries for live-action adaptations of animes and mangas listed under the anime category, at least url-wise.

For example, GTO: Great Teacher Onizuka (live-action TV) has at the end of its url "anime.php?id=3001", but is not listed under the anime category of the encyclopedia. In fact, there is no section for live-action adaptations, which makes it nigh impossible to add in live-action shows. I understand that this is Anime News Network, but with live-action shows already in the encyclopedia it should be easier to add them in. So how can I add those in?

I am mentioning this only because I would like to add the recent live-action TV adaptation of Fuma no Kojiro, which is fully listed both manga and anime-wise but has no entry for its live-action adaptation.

Thank you.

ANN staff might add non-anime titles to the Encyclopedia IF and WHEN they feel necessary, on a completely ad-hoc and arbitrary basis. Usually because the title is mentioned in the news. The non-anime titles that are currently in the Encyclopedia do not constitute a precedent in any way as to the inclusion of future titles (i.e. "since you have A, why not B?" is not a valid reason). In short, all those titles are there as a complement to the anime titles, and you should not find it too strange if they were all deleted tomorrow.
