Help:Screen:ClonePub

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.

The ISFDB has a facility to allow a publication to be cloned, and then edited. This can save a good deal of time in data entry and title merging.

To access this screen, display a publication, and you will then see a "Clone this Pub" link on the left navbar. Clicking on the link will bring up a screen titled "Edit Publication". This is similar in many ways to the edit publication screen, but the existing content records are not editable, except that their page numbers may be set.

For detailed help on the fields on this screen, see the edit publication help.
