Welcome!

Hello, HardyK, 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! Mhhutchins 04:15, 8 July 2015 (UTC)

Image file exceeding the standard limit

This image file exceeds the ISFDB standard of 600 pixels tall. It will have to be resigned and then replaced. You should have received a warning at the time of the upload that it exceeded the standard. 04:18, 8 July 2015 (UTC)

Improper image file uploads

This file, this one, and this file were improperly uploaded. You must use the link provided on the publication record to upload a cover image of that publication. This means you must first add the publication to the database. Once you've read this message, let me know so that I can delete these files from the database.

I have accepted the submission adding this publication and this one. Now use the "Upload cover scan" links and follow the directions. The file can be no larger than 150 kb, and the image can be no more than 600 pixels tall. Thanks for contributing. Mhhutchins 04:22, 8 July 2015 (UTC)

Thank you for welcome. You can delete the three files from the database. I will upload new versions. I want to complete some records like Alien Contact and Shayol. —The preceding unsigned comment was added by HardyK (talk • contribs) .

Files deleted. Thanks. Mhhutchins 06:56, 8 July 2015 (UTC)

Novel content records

When adding a publication typed as NOVEL, do not create a content record for the novel. The system does that automatically. Doing so creates a publication with two content title records along with a duplicate title record. Thanks. Mhhutchins 07:24, 8 July 2015 (UTC)

Thanks for the advice. HardyK 07:29, 8 July 2015 (UTC)
