Welcome!

Hello, Ryubyss, 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! Annie 16:02, 29 October 2019 (EDT)

Harry: A Ferret

You didn't include any kind of note indicating why you were marking this story as "non-genre". Since it's in a collection of horror stories, what is the reason for marking it as such? ···日本穣 · 投稿 · Talk to Nihonjoe 19:18, 19 November 2019 (EST)

I apologies for not providing a justification. I finished it a few days ago and it has no supernatural elements. only horror in the "horrific events occurring" sense. next time I will put in an explanation. Ryubyss 17:37, 21 November 2019 (EST)

Sounds good. Thanks for verifying the content. ···日本穣 · 投稿 · Talk to Nihonjoe 15:02, 22 November 2019 (EST)

Page numbers for ordering purposes

Hello,

When you are adding page numbers strictly for ordering purposes (such as here), instead of putting the position as "1", use the pipe method ("|1") - it will achieve exactly what you need without looking as if we know the page numbers. The pages field should have a visible value only when they are actual page numbers. I fixed in the one linked above. Annie 12:56, 3 December 2019 (EST)

The Age of Broken Miracles

I rejected all three edits for this one as it is unclear what you were trying to achieve.

Where is the mdash coming from? Do you have a title page (if so, please verify the book you have - or indicate in the notes what you have)? If this is a subtitle, we use ":" as a separator, not mdash. If the mdash is there on the title page, we record it without spaces around it. I will be more than happy to update these but let's figure out what we have and where.

Generally, it is always a good idea to cite your sources for changes like this one :) Thanks! Annie 19:13, 3 December 2019 (EST)

I admit it! I added that because it had the subtitle on the cover. --Ryubyss 16:13, 4 December 2019 (EST)

We usually go by the title page for these but if we do not have one, cover it is. If you want to send them with a ":" as a separator, I will approve them. Annie 16:21, 4 December 2019 (EST)
