Welcome!
Hello, Elsbernd, 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! -- JLaTondre (talk) 15:09, 26 December 2016 (UTC)
Singularity Station
I have your edit to create a variant for Singularity Station on hold. I believe you are attempting to create a German variant titled Erstarrt in der Zeit? That is not what your edit is accomplishing. Instead, it is creating a German title that is the same as the English title. The transliterated field is not a translation. It is a transliteration (conversion of non-Latin to Romanized script).
The easiest way to enter a new novel translation is to use the "Add New Novel" option and enter the details of the publication. This would then create a new title record with the correct language information that can then be varianted to the original work.
Please check out the help links provided above. If you have any questions (ISFDB:Help desk is a good resource for asking). Thanks. -- JLaTondre (talk) 15:09, 26 December 2016 (UTC)
