| That'd be a cool feature. |
  |
| there was a feature like that here https://myanimelist.net/profile/deg/contributions but now it says "Only moderators can view this page." |
| It would be super nice to have that, I add a lot of character descriptions and stuff, so it'd be cool to see if/when they're approved. |
 Even if helping people is easy, asking for help is a hurdle of it's own. Kaoru Gojou |
| They used to have that but they got rid of it. I really am trying to see if my Beyblade contributions got added as a lot of characters were missing images and bios as well as their nicknames and alternate language names |
This post is brought to you by your local transfem gamer goblin. Will not tolerate bigotry and will fight against "anti-woke" sentiment to make the anime community a safer place.  |
| +1 I wish they'd bring it back. |
 |
| I agree, that would be cool. Is there any known reason why the feature was restricted to mods? https://myanimelist.net/profile/St0rmblade/contributions |

| You can also check this thread: Improvements to adding things to the Database. A m0d replied there, they mentioned something about the code being "not ready for public release" if I remember correctly (like what's written in the m0d edit in the thread shared by Kwan above), but they deleted their comment. LOL. I should've used Quote and saved the page to the Wayback Machine. Haha. From the [In Progress] Improved Viewing of Pending Database Entries thread: "Many years ago, a system like the one you are describing was started. It is not complete and the code surrounding it has not been developed further. Since there are many bugs in the system (example: 'Denied' actually being 'Accepted'), the system is not public. Please do not share information on how to access it as this will only cause misunderstandings between users and moderators. To keep this thread from being bumped by users asking how to access it, I will lock the thread. We too hope to have some kind of system like this for improved user-moderator communications in the future." I doubt they will let the contributions page be viewable by users again (not even our respective contributions page) unless the devs work on it. Their stance on improving the submission forms are kinda the same (See: Add a section for sources when making a submission.) which is a bummer. In AniList, users can view the status of their submissions thru the Submissions tab in their profile (https://anilist.co/user/USERNAME/submissions). They have different tabs on the sidebar of that page for Anime, Manga, Characters and Staff submissions too. So it's organized and not cluttered unlike the notifs we receive in our inbox here. I have to go over multiple pages and use Ctrl+F to find stuff in my inbox most of the time. They have nicer submission forms too (example: https://anilist.co/edit/anime/140960). You can add general info, images, characters, staff, studios, relations, external links, sources, etc. all in the same form as the Data Fields on the sidebar has all these: General Images Characters Staff Studios Relations External Links Revision History Entry Page Submission sources & notes They even have their submission manual linked on the submission forms for convenience. Probably, the only thing I don't like is they only add one PV per entry. So how about entries which have various PVs and whatnot? The PVs get overwritten with whatever they approve then. Anyhow, you don't have to open different forms just to make a submission or edit. Related: Is there a way to check the status of my submissions/edits? Streamlining character submissions. P.S. I feel like they might lock this thread later on as well. 😅 |

| @St0rmblade I'm not saying I like AL's UI in particular or their site in general. It's just that I haven't submitted anything in other DBs beside MAL and AL so I've no other comparison. I'm just sharing that they have more organized submission forms as well as viewable submissions page on user profiles which MAL has to improve on. |

| @St0rmblade aka, it's not being developed. I really hope I'm wrong, but this should be a standard feature for any website that relies on user contributions. It doesn't need to be anything fancy initially either, just log the edits on a new page, add notifications for more activities, and route them all here instead of your inbox. This will motivate more people to contribute, increase transparency between users and mods on what is/isn't pending, and let us clean up our inboxes. I'm pretty sure the whole queue/submission system needs an overhaul though, as I've been told the moderator tools on the backend are a bit of a mess. However, I guess this isn't a priority, since it's not really a flashy update. As long as you can access the site and log/talk about whatever's popular, that keeps most people happy. |

| Hopefully they let us see again soon. I've done a lot of contributions for some of my favorite manga :p |
| Most of the corrections I submitted forever ago have not been implemented. I wonder why? |

| @Lucifrost most likely they just got forgotten somewhere in the queue. Maybe we should try to change the system from within... :) |
