This category may help editors see when pages that are effectively duplicates have been created. in such cases, it is often useful to combine all useful info on one of the page, make the other a redirect, and remove it from this list.

Note that this page lists only publishers that have wiki pages, not publishers that may exist in the ISFDB database itself.
 
 
 
Note also that, as with all wiki categories, at most 200 entries are shown on any one page. For more than than, a user must page through the list.

==How to automatically list a Publisher Wiki page in this list==
 
This Category page will automatically list all publisher Wiki pages that include the following link (usually at the bottom of the page)
 
 
 
<nowiki>[[Category: Publishers|{{PAGENAME}}]]</nowiki>
 
 
 
If you would like to let the Wiki do the work, you can use a template.  One no-input template is [[:Template:Publisher Category]]. Simply copy the text below onto any Publisher page and it gets categorized and sorted properly.
 
 
 
<nowiki>{{Publisher Category}}</nowiki>
 
 
 
If you prefer a more complete approach, any publisher wiki page that uses [[:Template:PublisherHeader]] will also automatically be placed in this category, without any further effort, and without the need to insert the category link manually.
