Help:How to reverse a variant title relationship

This page is a help or manual page for the ISFDB database. It describes standards or methods for entering or maintaining data in the ISFDB database, or otherwise working with the database. Other help pages may be found via the category below. To discuss what should go on this page, use the talk page. If, after exploring the Help system, you still have a question, please visit the Help desk and let us know. We probably know the answer, but we need your help to know what we left out of the help pages. If you are new to editing the ISFDB, please see Help:Getting Started. For more on this and other header templates, see Header templates.

If there are two (or more) titles in the ISFDB that are linked via a Variant Title relationship and there is reason to believe that the master title should be the variant title and vice versa, you can make it happen in two steps.

First, delete the existing Variant Title relationship by pulling up the current Variant Title, selecting "Make This Title a Variant Title or Pseudonymous Work" in the navigation bar, entering "0" in the "Parent #" field and clicking the "Submit Data" button immediately below. If there is more than one Variant Title currently defined, then repeat this process for each Variant Title. Once the changes have been approved by a moderator, the titles become unlinked and you can submit one or more regular "Make Variant Title" submissions.
