Welcome!
Hello, Hyades, 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!Kraang 01:02, 26 June 2010 (UTC)
Linking uploaded images to publications
I see that you've uploaded this image to the ISFDB wiki. The next step is to link it to the record in the ISFDB database. Go to the image's link (the first one above) and copy the URL from your browser's address window. Then go the record (the second link) and choose "Edit this pub". Next, paste the URL in the "Image URL" field. Also, it's a good idea to limit the size of images to the suggested dimensions - no taller than 600 pixels and no larger than 150K bytes. Thanks.
