Welcome!
Hello, Bud webster, and welcome to the ISFDB Wiki! I hope you like the place and decide to stay. Here are some pages that you might find helpful:
- Help pages
- Help:Getting Started
- What the ISFDB Wiki is for
- ISFDB FAQ
- Wiki editing help - Tips on how to use the wiki-specific features when editing wiki pages.
- Wiki Conventions - How things are usually done on this wiki.
- Help:How to upload images to the ISFDB wiki
Note: Image uploading isn't entirely automated. You're uploading the files to the wiki which will then have to be linked to the database by editing the publication record.
Please be careful in editing publications that have been primary verified by other editors. See Help:How to verify data#Making changes to verified pubs. But if you have a copy of an unverified publication, verifying it can be quite helpful. See Help:How to verify data for detailed information.
I hope you enjoy editing here! Please sign your name on talk pages using four tildes (~~~~); this will insert your name and the date. If you need help, check out the community portal, or ask me on my talk page. Again, welcome! Mhhutchins 00:19, 16 February 2011 (UTC)
Past Masters
You made an addendum to several of the titles in this series by adding the name of the author who is being profiled. In most circumstances, the title should be recorded exactly as it appears in the publication. You can always add further information in the notes of each essay's title record. Also, your submission to update the series did not contain any changes. What were you wanting to change it to? Thanks. Mhhutchins 04:40, 27 February 2011 (UTC)
Adding data
Saw your question in the submission. There is no way to add contents independently of a publication. If there are columns missing from the Past Masters series, it is necessary to add the publications they were published in to the database or to add them as contents if those publications already have records but are simply missing those essays. What were the publications that the essays appeared in? The Help section has most of the cases covered, though you might want to start [here]. Questions can be asked in other places as well, [the Community Portal]; and the [Moderator Noticeboard] but the [Help Desk] is usually the best. To respond to this posting, just click on the "Edit" button to the right and type in below my posting, indenting with a colon [this 'steps' the discussion] and the second last 'button' above the editing window [looks like a squiggle] will sign your user name and date the response. --~ Bill, Bluesman 19:42, 27 February 2011 (UTC)
