Welcome!

Hello, Interzone, and welcome to the ISFDB Wiki! I hope you like the place and decide to stay. Here are some pages that you might find helpful:

• Help pages
• Field-by-field guide to entering new publications into the database
• Help:Getting Started
• What the ISFDB Wiki is for
• FAQ
• Wiki editing help - Tips on how to use the wiki-specific features when editing wiki pages.
• Wiki Conventions - How things are usually done on this wiki.
• Help:How to upload images to the ISFDB wiki

Note: Image uploading isn't entirely automated. You're uploading the files to the wiki which will then have to be linked to the database by editing the publication record.

Please be careful in editing publications that have been primary verified by other editors. See Help:How to verify data#Making changes to verified pubs. But if you have a copy of an unverified publication, verifying it can be quite helpful. See Help:How to verify data for detailed information.

I hope you enjoy editing here! Please sign your name on talk pages using four tildes (~~~~); this will insert your name and the date. If you need help, check out the community portal, or ask me on my talk page. Again, welcome! -- JLaTondre (talk) 15:24, 26 February 2023 (EST)

Piped sort numbers in page number field

Hi Interzone

I'm going to approve your edit updating Like Smoke, Like Light. I noticed that in the page number field you are appending a piped sort operator to each page number. Adding a sort to the page numbers isn't necessary if the page numbers themselves would place the contents in the correct order. It is useful when several contents items appear on the same page, or when the publication restarts numbering. Even in those cases, it only needs to be applied for items where it matters. Adding it to all page numbers will still cause the contents to be displayed in the correct order, but it makes it more difficult if we find new contents that should have been added or if the order is incorrect. In the future, it would be better if you just used the page numbers without the piped sort unless there is a specific need. Thanks and let me know if you have questions. --Ron ~ Rtrace^Talk 09:52, 15 December 2023 (EST)

IZ Digital

I'm holding three edits that would remove $0.00 from the price field of IZ Digital issues. These are available for free are they not? -- JLaTondre (talk) 08:08, 23 December 2023 (EST)
