howto:artist db (Version 1)

In addition to storing artwork released by artists, the Danbooru system also will store notes and information, in the artist database. This is slightly different from the artist and circle type tags, and the integrated wiki. Read the artists database help to get started.

More advanced
  • Unlike the main Danbooru, Moe also has a circle type tag, which functions a little bit differently than the artist one. Normally, clicking on the "?" next to an artist type tag will bring you to the artist entry, or a page to create a new one if one does not exist. Clicking "?" for a circle without an artist entry brings you directly to the empty wiki page. To associate circles and related artists, you need to go to the artist listing and click "Add artist" at the bottom, and then enter in names in the "Members" field.
  • Creating or editing an artist or circle entry does not count as editing the wiki unless that artist or circle has something entered in the "Notes" field.
  • On an artists' entry, you will see one line with "View posts" and "edit". This will only edit the notes. The line below with the "Edit artist" link allows you to edit members, aliases and URL's.
  • In the listing, names with arrows are aliases. It points from an alias to the name an artist uses most often. The names in brackets are circles.
  • If you edit an artist entry with multiple aliases or a circle with multiple members, you need to enter commas to separate the aliases or members each time(this is currently bug).
