This was triggered by this discussion from User_talk:Chris_J#Wizards_of_the_Coast_-.3E_TSR in that we don't have a convenient way to store publisher related notes and to link to them.

Wizards of the Coast -> TSR

I noticed you updated the publisher for several publications from "Wizards of the Coast" to "TSR" and am wondering if "TSR" should be spelled out somewhere. I understand ISFDB support for publishers is weak but someone trying to track down who or what "TSR" is may have a rough time. Is there any connection between "Wizards of the Coast" and TSR? The publications updated were: 643869, 14224, 2402, 24027, 14952, 4462, and 34925. Marc Kupper (talk) 13:14, 18 Jun 2007 (CDT)

TSR, Inc.(Tactical Studies Rules) was an American game publishing company most famous for publishing the Dungeons & Dragons role-playing game. Wizards of the Coast (often referred to as WotC or simply Wizards) is an American publisher of games, primarily based on fantasy and science fiction themes. In 1997, Wizards of the Coast purchased TSR, Inc. The TSR brand name continued for a number of years. (Copied from Wikipedia). --Chris J 00:29, 19 Jun 2007 (CDT)
