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.

The Ghost of a Hand
Hello,
Can you please clarify what you are trying to achieve with this request? Unmerge will create a new copy of the story but will keep it inside of the book. Is this what you are trying to do? If so, why? If not, if you explain what you are trying to do, I can assist with the correct operation. Thanks and welcome again! Annie 11:30, 31 August 2021 (EDT)

Hi Annie, and thanks. The story The Ghost of a Hand appearing in Horrific Fables (http://www.isfdb.org/cgi-bin/pl.cgi?853649) currently links to the wrong place. It should link to the 1863 version here: http://www.isfdb.org/cgi-bin/title.cgi?839805
In short, the entry on this page: http://www.isfdb.org/cgi-bin/pl.cgi?853649 should end up as such:
69 • The Ghost of a Hand • (1863) • short story by Joseph Sheridan Le Fanu [as by J. Sheridan Le Fanu]
with the story linking here: http://www.isfdb.org/cgi-bin/title.cgi?839805
I was trying to unlink it so I could then relink it because I don't know how to change it in one step. If you could help me out, I will be grateful. Most of the stuff here is pretty straightforward, but aspects of linking the reprinted stories are a bit confusing for me. Thanks again.
