This is a very cool button but it's seldom that you actually find an anime with any info filled out

I feel like we need a massive cleanup like what we did with series synopses for episodes synopses as well

after all, if someone looks for episode information from now on, it lures people away from wiki sites, which brings more traffic to this site, which helps Xinil make more money
we can all help to fill Xinil's wallet!

You and others can fill it up.
But it's the Anime Moderator's job to approve it.
So you can't do anything but to wait for it to be approved.

A lot of the info that does exist is either wrong (errors in episode titles) or has terrible grammar. I understand not always picking up on Romaji/translation errors, considering not everyone speaks Japanese, but you'd think they'd make an effort to get the grammar correct.

Then again, the amount of incorrect grammar in the descriptions themselves is laughable. I'm currently going through entries and finding titles that need fixes, and I was going to edit descriptions as well so that they're grammatically correct, but that would've taken me for fucking ever.

With user-submitted information it really should be carefully checked. If MAL's trying to be a legit site, which it is, then correct grammar (and correct info to begin with!) should be one of the top priorities for an entry's description, in my opinion.
