I haven't seen any guidelines for the recently added "background" section on anime & manga pages (Aside from the brief description given when you click the "edit" button for it).

I also haven't been able to find any pages with this section filled out yet, to use as an example for how to format this section or what exactly the best practices would be.
Does anybody know of any that have been filled out yet?

Yet again another feature to clog up the main page gets added and this time it'll be useless for a long time since I doubt they are able to rip this information from ANN or Wikipedia like they did for episodes.

This an open-ended field for now. We will likely make adjustments later to determine what sort of information is appropriate here.

In the meantime, I have written up an example in the entry for Dimension W.

Most of manga right now have background infos like Shingeki no Kyojin :)
