Welcome!

Hello, Thewordscomealive, 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:

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! Annie 15:52, 29 July 2019 (EDT)

Wizards, Tome 1 : L'initiation

Let me know if you need assistance with connecting this one to the original. Welcome again! Annie 15:53, 29 July 2019 (EDT)

PS: The names of the series are usually not recorded as part of the title so I pulled that out from this one and the following ones. They will get their series from their parent when they connected. Annie 15:55, 29 July 2019 (EDT)

Thanks! I'm not sure about the titles, however. From what I could find, the title of the book itself includes the series name, rather than being separate. But if that doesn't work, it's fine! Thanks again for your help Wordscomealive 16:13, 29 July 2019 (EDT)

We go by the title page and most title pages do have the names of the series in slightly different formats :) I tend to skip them. If you insist, we can always add them back of course. But as the series will show up on another line on the record, it is a bit of an overkill. Do you know how to make the connection to the original titles or do you want me to help you with that? Annie 16:15, 29 July 2019 (EDT)

Okay, that's fine! I think I was able to make it a variant, I just submitted it. Thanks :) Wordscomealive 16:20, 29 July 2019 (EDT)

Yep. Perfect. Approved. Annie 16:42, 29 July 2019 (EDT)

Unfortunately, we do not have permissions to link to https://www.risingshadow.fi so I had to remove the image link from this one. The list of the sites we have permissions to link to for images are here together with some other notes about the image URL. Do you happen to have an ISBN for that one? Or if you know that it is issued without ISBN, it should be added to the notes. Thanks! Annie 16:44, 29 July 2019 (EDT)

Whoops, sorry! I thought it was on the list, must have misread. Is Goodreads acceptable, since it is an Amazon company? And I found the ISBN after some more digging, it's 9789510277363 Wordscomealive 17:00, 29 July 2019 (EDT)

Unfortunately, not. Neither is Audible (to cite another Amazon company) - it has to do with how permissions for deep linking images (the pages that just load the image without sending you to the site that hosts it). If you cannot find it in an allowed site, you can add a note with a LINK to the cover in html format. Links are acceptable. :)
I added the ISBN to the publication - you were editing the title, that is why you did not find where to put it. Also - keep in mind that for pre-2006 publications, we want the ISBN-10. Annie 17:12, 29 July 2019 (EDT)
Same problem here [Syvintä velhoutta] and this ISBN is not correct (bad checksum) and we need ISBN-10 as well (although if we find the correct 13, the -10 is easy.). I will see if I can find the correct ISBN. Annie 17:14, 29 July 2019 (EDT)
Found the ISBN-10: 9510290483. Looks like what you had was the same with 978 added which is not the correct way to convert those - the last/control number also needs changing in these cases. Annie 17:15, 29 July 2019 (EDT)

Alright, I'll check those more carefully in future! If I were to add a link to the cover, where would I do that? Wordscomealive 17:24, 29 July 2019 (EDT)

The notes field in the publication. Click Edit on the publication and you will see the Notes field there. Annie 17:29, 29 July 2019 (EDT)
Thanks! I'll do some more digging to see if I can find a cover I can link directly, and if not I'll add it there Wordscomealive
