This category serves as an index to the publisher pages in the ISFDB Wiki. At present many publishers are listed in the ISFDB database that don't have Wiki pages meaning this page does not contain a comprehensive list of specfict publishers. There is an older hand-made list of specfict publishers available at Publisher Catalogs and Print Series.

  • If you create a new publisher wiki page then please add it here by adding a category link or template. Do the same if you find one not that's not listed here. See below for details on how to do this.
  • If you change the name of a publisher page using the Wiki "move" function then the change will be automatically reflected here as long as you do not delete the category link or template.
  • If you redirect a publisher page to the canonical version for a publisher then include it in this category if it's a well known imprint.

How to list a Publisher Wiki page in this list

The easiest way to get a publisher Wiki added to this list is to add

{{Publisher Category}}

to the page.

A more complete approach is to use Template:PublisherHeader the top of the publisher page. This will add a standard header to the page and will include the publisher in this category without any further effort.

With both of these the edits are done to the publisher's page. For example, to include the publisher Fontana to this page you would edit Publisher:Fontana and not this page.
