Best,
We are confronted with a disturbing bug in the catalog and in particular that for unknown reasons "Divers en" is added as a book series to books where this is not the intention at all. This also affects further navigation in catalog and the preset values for subsequent entries.
Can this be corrected shortly?

This is not a bug, but it is done on purpose. There is another solution for this, but that cannot be done 1-2-3. By the way, how does this affect your navigation? Because I hear that for the first time.

If it's not a bug, what's the purpose of this, maybe I can use this?

This kind of problem, as far as I know, does not occur in other domains.

Concerning the navigation: Suppose I enter books by Karel Van de Woestijne and catawiki automatically adds the various book series, then the search criterion (see top of the page) will refer several times to book series instead of the author fmen is working on. One must then return from home, select the author to continue processing books about the author.

Jan

I have recently seen that a reasonably correct series name has been deliberately changed to Miscellaneous. What the hell is the purpose of that. Miscellaneous is already the biggest monstrosity in the books category, inextricable and completely rotten after dying. No one can make anything of that!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
That someone disagrees with the name given to it, I can get into that, but then change it to Miscellaneous????????

That's right, I found the series name quite incorrect. And I have no problem with Miscellaneous.

A bit of a strange reaction. It sounds a bit arrogant, like 'I'm right and so you just have to swallow it'. I always thought we were a little nicer around here?
Give a well-considered argument?

Moreover, I was not talking about you, but someone else, and even more so, it is not about a specific person at all, but about the fact.

What do Rene and Collectioneur think about Miscellaneous , I'm more curious about that.

Phew, I don't know the context of this.
I think it would be best for you to discuss it with Collectioneur

At Boeken, the fact that there is not (yet) a manual for Boeken is taking its toll. This makes it clear what the purpose of the Series is. Personally, I would use the same method here as with Comics, but that should be discussed by the administrators.

In 2014 Arco wrote in this topic: That is not a bug, but is done on purpose. There is another solution for this, but it cannot be done 1-2-3.
I can't figure out what he meant by that. Perhaps an administrator knows this.

If you can't handle criticism, it is advisable to avoid the Forum from now on.
Using the words "willfully" and "reasonably correct string name" suggests that your entry has been sabotaged. I find that not only arrogant, but also very unpleasant.

The fact is that in principle we do not use series names, which do not really exist. If, for example, Phiips publishes a booklet, you can attach the Philips Publications series to it. Only, that series does not exist and it is an addition that has no use. After all, you can easily find Philips publications via the Publisher section.

Anyone who takes management seriously removes non-existing string names (except for a limited number of cases where the distinction has clear utility). Keep it real!

Are you going to turn things around now?????

Criticism, in my opinion, has a different form and different words. And I didn't read that in the text used.

Applying the same rules as with Comics also seems to me to be the right solution.

We just want to avoid the proliferation of book series such as comics, so no hard cover editions, etc.


That's not a bug, it's done on purpose. There is another solution for this, but it cannot be done 1-2-3.
Was a computer technical solution. (I thought)

I agree with Jills.

With comics, collecting on Series (and certainly on Series/Held) is pretty much the standard.
With books, the opposite is actually the case. Series/hero hardly plays a role and the bulk of all publications do not appear in a particular book series.
In the fiction segment, people mainly read and collect by author.

"Miscellaneous" is indeed a monstrosity, but the field is not mandatory, so I don't see any need to automatically fill in anything there.
It can simply be left blank, unless the publisher names an actual series or if a name is needed to distinguish specific collection series (eg Jules Verne).

It is not a required field, but if the field is empty, it will be automatically filled with "Miscellaneous". This was once agreed upon, the why is unclear to me. Perhaps because "Not filled in" did not yet exist in the A/Z lists at the time.
Hopefully the 8 book managers can, after mutual consultation, indicate how the Book series field should be used.
