Welcome!
Hello, Dehavenbooks, 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) 22:03, 28 July 2017 (EDT)
Doctor Who and the Auton Invasion
I had to reject your edit. You were attempting to turn a cover art record into a novel record. The way the database works, we have separate records for publications and the contents of the publication (including cover art). This is the publication record for the first printing. This is the title record for all (ISFDB known) printings of this novel. This (the record you edited) is the cover art record for all publications using the same artwork. Please check out the links in the welcome page above to get a better feel for how the database works. If you have questions, ISFDB:Help desk is a good place to ask. Thanks. -- JLaTondre (talk) 22:03, 28 July 2017 (EDT)
Thanks so much JLaTondre! So sorry, but I'll review all of those great resources you provided before contributing anything further. Really appreciate your help and friendliness.Will 22:51, 28 July 2017 (EDT)
