Welcome!
Hello, Guybrush42, 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) 18:15, 22 May 2022 (EDT)
Igualtat De Ritus
Regarding this submission: Please use "Add New Novel" on the left menu of the database and add the publication. Once the publication is accepted, that will create a new record which will need to be varianted to the English original. Creating a variant first results in an empty record that will eventually get deleted. Also, the Transliterated is for transliterations (conversions from non-Latin alphabet to Latin alphabet) not translations (conversions from one language to another). ISFDB has some conventions that need learning so please check out the help links in the welcome message above. And let us know if you have any questions (ISFDB:Help desk is a good resource for asking). -- JLaTondre (talk) 18:15, 22 May 2022 (EDT)
- Ah - I didn't pick up any of that from the help pages. Thanks for the info. Sounds like it might take a bit of time to do it right, so I'll get back to this when I have some! -- Guybrush42 21:47, 22 May 2022 (EDT)
