General help for editors

Articles in Lemopedia can be added and edited by all registered users. There are three basic kinds of articles:

• editions: bibliographical records presenting specific publications of Lem's books in all languages
• lemology: articles dealing with authors of books dedicated to Lemology and their works
• elements: a dictionary listing Stanislaw Lem's literary output (topics, ideas, main characters)

editions

To add new bibliographical record:

1. Search whether the edition in question is missing from the Lemopedia resources (preferably by entering the title and language of publication).
2. If you have not found the edition, create a new page:
   • in the search box enter the title of the new page according to this example: Title Language Publisher DateOfPublication (for example: Solaris German Insel 1961)
   • select "create new page"
3. In the new page paste the following template:

{{Edition
|title=
|English title=
|Polish title=
|language=
|country=
|place=
|publisher=
|publication date=
|translator=
|cover=
|pages=
|ISBN=
|print-run=
}}

1. Fill in the empty fields (leave them blank if you don't have the necesary information)
2. View the preview page (click "show preview").
3. If everything seems fine click "save page".
4. If you have the cover of the particular edition in electronic format (jpg, png, tiff) upload it to Lemopedia resources by clicking on the file name displayed in the upper right corner (red link) of the page. Preferred resolution: 300 dpi, width: 600px.
