This template is maintained by Wikipedia:WikiProject Anime and manga. It is designed to handle anime, manga, their associated movies, and OVAs, in a single modular infobox. Therefore it consists of a header and footer:
with modular components:
A basic version of the header is also available that has no content.
Usage
This infobox should be constructed by sandwiching one or more modules in between a header and a footer. (It is, of course, technically possible to leave out the middle completely.) The placement of components within the infobox is left to the judgement of the users. For consistency, it is recommended that placement follows the order of release.
Fields should reflect original Japanese dates and editions, as multiple countries/languages leads to clutter.
For consistency, the infobox should remain within the scope of its host article. If, for example, separate pages exist for an anime and its associated movie, the movie component should not appear on the anime page, and vice versa. The "Other" component may be used to provide links to such closely related works.
The title field in each module is optional, and should be used when the title of the specific anime/manga/etc. differs from the one at the top of the infobox.
The other fields should be self explanatory, and examples follow in the next section.
