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
 * 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. 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 (~&#126;); 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! --MartyD 10:40, 23 July 2011 (UTC)

Author image
Hi, and welcome. Thank you for fixing up the information about what I presume is yourself. I had to remove the link you tried to make for your picture. It did not work mechanically, because that link has to be to an actual image file (a JPG, GIF, etc., file). E.g., it could be made to http://members.optusnet.com.au/~rory.barnes/Rory%20Barnes.jpg -- the picture on that main page. But we can't have that, either, because we do not have permission to link to images on members.optusnet.com.au. See ISFDB:Image_linking_permissions for details about that policy. What you can do, however, is upload the image to the ISFDB and then link to that ISFDB-served file. If you need help, just reply here (edit this section, indenting your response by adding a colon at the beginning of the line). Thanks, and thank you for contributing. --MartyD 10:46, 23 July 2011 (UTC)
