 + 
 +It is not easy to draw straight lines as to what should be added to the OFDb. Somewhat broadly defined, only films and TV shows are added to the database that could be shown in movie theaters or film festivals, broadcasted in TV or streamed by streaming services. 
 + 
 +That would exclude material like music videos or cut scenes in video games, for instance. In addition, adult films are also not to be added (even though they might be shown in specific cinemas or on certain video websites). However, films showing nudity or depicting unsimulated sexual acts are not banned per se. Generally speaking, films and TV shows that are considered "porn" are not added to the database, while all other material is welcome.

You simply click the link of the taxonomy where you want to add or edit content, and will see a content list and a "add term" button to add new content after the page loaded. The structure link, however, doesn't have "add ..." links.
