The header section nosw says "there will be a link on the left navbar labeled Edit Title Data (third in the third group "Editing Tools")". I think it may be unwise to specify the position of the link within the group, as this is subject to change at any time the software is revised. -[[User:DESiegel60|DES]] <sup>[[User talk:DESiegel60|Talk]]</sup> 15:19, 23 July 2009 (UTC)

The roughly guideline for Shortstory, Novelette, & Novella length based on the number of pages should state whether that is for hc/tp or pb. A standard pb page is probably about half the number of words of a standard hc/tp page. --[[User:JLaTondre|JLaTondre]] 19:17, 14 May 2011 (UTC)

Variant Title indicator

This review shows the title as “The Many Worlds of Poul Anderson [vt The Book of Poul Anderson].” I hit (edit) to see how the [vt] thing was done and learned it's “The Many Worlds of Poul Anderson^The Book of Poul Anderson.” Should this be documented as a standard ISFDB practice? It's certainly more convenient than adding a variant title record. Marc Kupper 23:19, 6 Dec 2006 (CST)

Actually, it's an artifact left over from ISFDB1 :) The ISFDB1-to-ISFDB2 conversion was supposed to change it to the current (more time consuming on the data entry side, but also much more robust) format, but it wasn't perfect. At some point we will need to write a script looking for these artifacts, so that we could manually change them. Ahasuerus 10:48, 7 Dec 2006 (CST)

Added Level 2 and 3 Headers

I added Level 2 and one level 3 headers to aid in page navigation. Other than one spelling error, no text was changed.Kevin 06:05, 24 August 2008 (UTC)

If these are going to stay, the various tempaltes should all be reworked a bit. They were created to be part of a look bulletted list, and not being part of such an over-all list anymore, there is a spuirious extra bullet at the start of each as displayed. Of course, this will require that every page that uses these tempaltes be similarly rewritten. -DES Talk 15:33, 24 August 2008 (UTC)

Position of link in edit tools

The header section nosw says "there will be a link on the left navbar labeled Edit Title Data (third in the third group "Editing Tools")". I think it may be unwise to specify the position of the link within the group, as this is subject to change at any time the software is revised. -DES Talk 15:19, 23 July 2009 (UTC)

Length Guideline

The roughly guideline for Shortstory, Novelette, & Novella length based on the number of pages should state whether that is for hc/tp or pb. A standard pb page is probably about half the number of words of a standard hc/tp page. --JLaTondre 19:17, 14 May 2011 (UTC)
