Welcome!
Hello, AbbyBabble, 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! Mhhutchins 19:38, 16 February 2015 (UTC)
Contents
If you want your stories which are contained in publications (magazines, anthologies, ec.) to be entered into the database, you have to enter the in the publication record under the "Contents" section of the entry form. I've done that for you, but you should start doing it yourself. Also, I had to reject the submission to add records for publications which are not speculative fiction. If you have speculative fiction stories appearing in non-speculative fiction anthologies, list them here, giving the pertinent bibliographic information, and I'll enter them into the database. The stories are eligible for the database and the publications are not. Thanks. Mhhutchins 20:13, 16 February 2015 (UTC)
