Welcome!

Hello, ElleKayEm, 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
• Field-by-field guide to entering new publications into the database
• Help:Getting Started
• What the ISFDB Wiki is for
• 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! Stonecreek 04:47, 6 September 2018 (EDT)

Fischer error

Hello, thank you very much for finding this error. It's not so easy to differentiate between same-named authors, so errors like these are bound to happen. Thanks again! (and note that I have renamed the two authors, as this Steven Fischer can claim to be the true one). Stonecreek 04:55, 6 September 2018 (EDT)

Leah Cypress

We go by how the author is credited in a book/magazine so when someone mispells, we record as is and pseudonym. Let me check how the name is credited in both publications and I will either update or variant - whatever is needed. Thanks for finding these! Annie 15:30, 1 November 2019 (EDT)

It was a typo!.--Dirk P Broer 16:54, 1 November 2019 (EDT)

Team effort - I confirmed that the second record that was there was a typo as well and fixed it earlier today as well. :) Annie 17:01, 1 November 2019 (EDT)

Reprints

When the stories are reprinted, they need to be merged with their other versions. The easiest way (when starting from a publication) is to use the "Check for Duplicate Titles" link - it is on the left menu. Then you decide which of the other details to keep - date, length, notes and so on. :) For example for here, the find duplicate would lead to this[ - which shows nothing because I merged them (thanks for finding these!) :) You have similar menus on the author level and on each title level.
