Template:PubContentFields:Page

• Page - The page on which this item of content can be found. The page number refers to the pagination provided in the publication, not the actual count of pages from the start. Use the lower case form of Roman numerals, for pages in introductory material. This will happen, for example, for material on the inside cover of a magazine, since the pagination usually starts inside. For material after that last page, count forward; for magazines this can extend to the back cover, but for books the inside and outside covers should not be given page numbers.
  • The following special locations can be used:
    • fc -- front cover
    • fep -- front end paper, or inside front cover of a magazine
    • bp -- unpaginated pages that precede pagination
    • ep -- unpaginated pages that follow pagination (although generally we would expect people to count forward to find a page number)
    • bc -- back cover
    • bep -- back end paper, or inside back cover of a magazine
    • ## (actual count) -- actual hand-counted pages, not counting the front cover or front endpaper, for a book without page numbers
    • [##] Any page for which a number is derived by counting, possibly from a previously or subsequently numbered page, but the page carries no actual page number, should be listed in [brackets]. OCLC and other bibliographic sources follow this convention.
    • <text> -- descriptive of the location in some other way. E.g. "Inset artwork on poster inserted with this magazine".
  • Interior art as the first page of a story. If a magazine presents a story with artwork on the first page, but no text from the story, that page should still be counted as the first page unless there is no title, author's name, or other direct evidence that the artwork is part of the presentation of the story. If the table of contents lists the page with the artwork as the first page of the story, then use that page as the page number for the story as well as the artwork. If it is simply a page of artwork, with no text to indicate that it belongs to the story on the succeeding pages, and no indication in the table of contents that it is part of the story, then do not count it as the first page of the story.
  • If the entered page number causes the item to appear in the wrong position relative to the other items in the publication, you can append an optional "sorting" number which will control where the item will appear. To enter a "sorting" page number, append the "pipe" character ("|") to the end of the regular page number value and then enter the number that the software will use to determine where to display the current Content item. The "sorting" number can be either a whole number like 23 or 355 or a decimal number like 3.2 or 567.001. The only limitation is that the total number of characters in the "Page" field cannot exceed 20. "Sorting" numbers can be useful when dealing with:
    • multiple titles, e.g. two short poems or a story and its artwork, appearing on the same page
    • books where numbering is restarted for various reasons, e.g. Ace Doubles, omnibuses, etc
    • unnumbered pages prior to page 1
    • uncommon page numbers like A-1, B-2, etc
    • boxed sets where individual volumes may appear out of order
