Welcome!
Hello, Boboratory, 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

- 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.

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! Stonecreek 02:57, 25 June 2018 (EDT)
The Healer's Legacy
Thanks for adding this! There had to be some alterations to fit our standards, and the link to the cover image had to be replaced as we don't have allowance to link to the submitted site. Thanks again, Stonecreek 02:59, 25 June 2018 (EDT)
Thank you Stonecreek for the tip sheet and the guidance. I appreciate the welcome! Boboratory 00:30, 26 June 2018 (EDT)
Knights of Virtue
I approved your edit to Knights of Virtue. However, I needed to change one thing. You had added the book to a publication series. After looking at it, I think that the series is more properly a title series, which goes on the title record. There is a help page, but I find the easiest way to understand is by asking the question: If there was another edition of the book published by a different publisher, would it still be part of the series? This was a little trickier given that we already have several title series with the name "The Guardian". Happily, the publisher's website had a longer title for the series, "The Guardians, Keepers of the Magic" which I used. Please let me know if there if I can help explain further. Thanks. --Ron ~ RtraceTalk 06:51, 29 June 2018 (EDT)
The Exile’s Gift
Hello,
I had to do a few changes to the record to bring it to policy:
- Not sure where the date of 2019-08-08 comes from. The site does not have a date Amazon.com has 2019-08-05, Goodreads has 2019-08-06. I've used Amazon's date for now - can you clarify? The ebook has the date 2019-08-08 so maybe this is where the confusion came from?
- "pb" is used for the standard mass market paperback books - this one is 5.5x8.5 inches which makes it a "tp"
- As we are an international DB, we need all prices to have a currency symbol.
- We are not authorized to deep link to this site for the cover so I replaced the link with one to Amazon. Feel free to provide a better cover.
- Based on how the Copyright page, I changed slightly how the cover artist is credited.
- Shortened the synopsis and added a source for it. Accolades and excerpts are really not what this field is about.
The result is here. Thanks for adding the book and let me know if you have any questions. Annie 11:20, 7 March 2022 (EST)
Thank you, Annie. Looks good. --Boboratory (talk) 18:13, 27 November 2022 (EST)
