Welcome!
Hello,, 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
 * 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. 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! Ahasuerus 05:09, 3 August 2013 (UTC)

Data Consistency page
I am afraid I had to revert the changes that you made to the Data Consistence page yesterday morning. I appreciate the thought, but the section that you modified is about finding duplicate "publication tags", which were deprecated a couple of years ago, whereas your edit had to do with "title tags". Title tags are user-specific and are not standardized, so there will always be inconsistencies, I am afraid.

Just to be on the safe side, here is a copy of the text that you added:

Synonyms
- - - - -
 * hard science fiction
 * hard sf
 * history of sf
 * history-of-sf
 * juvenile sf
 * juvenile-sf
 * recursive sf
 * meta sf
 * 'young-adult humorous sf' -> 'humorous sf' + 'young-adult sf'

etc etc

some one should probably run a filter like update pub_tag set pub_tag=trim(both ' ' from regexp_replace(lower(pub_tag), '[^a-z ]+', ' ', 'g'));
