What exactly does it mean when an item is frozen by an administrator? The album 3829467 (Vandersteen) is the normal edition and contains a lot of detailed information. The album 3829469 (Vandersteen) is a variant but contains almost no detailed information. I would expect all fields (with the exception of image, edition and details) to be identical. I'm trying to adjust this, but why is this frozen?

or it is ready and the administrator believes that nothing more needs to be changed or there are doubts and the administrator checks whether everything is correct

These are certainly not identical

with a frozen item, anything that has not yet been entered can still be added as well as additional stories

Clearly. But why is this frozen and why is the existing not changeable?

I have a general question about frozen items.
I made some changes to stamps yesterday, Designer/Engraver
There weren't that many, about 11, so I adjusted them (if there are more, I let an administrator know if he can adjust them) with 10 items it went well, but with one item it wasn't, it was frozen.
Now I'm wondering why are his items frozen in the first place.
I always thought LastDodo is a Wiki so that everyone who is a member can change something, I have often read in the Community that this is the case, so this is not the case.
Now I have coincidentally found another frozen item #271203
The designer (but the engraver) and the printer are not filled in, so why are they frozen?

We sometimes have to deal with users who think very differently about the basic facts of a certain item. For example, they change a series name for Comics or a Country for Stamps or the Nominal Value for Coins.
Therefore, an administrator has the possibility to freeze an item. This means that a few filled in basic fields can no longer be changed. Empty basic fields can always be filled in.
Some sections had to deal with stubborn "improvers" and there almost all fields were frozen.

#271203 is now unfrozen Lyonesse. I can't find any abuse in the history. So I think this item was accidentally frozen.

Modified the item, now they can freeze it forever and ever.
What I'm actually concerned about, I had this with the Designer/Engraver yesterday
There were a few names where only the year of birth was mentioned, which were from around 1925. Then you can see that they have already died, so I looked it up and found the year of death. But I could not change this, which cost Jummeke.
Therefore I would say freeze it in such a way that one can still change such things.

Lyonesse For typos or changes to “searchable fields” you need to contact an administrator. (let’s say there are 200 items with this designer, are you going to manually change them all?)

No, I'm definitely not going to adjust them all manually, unless it's just a few.
I have already reported hundreds of them here in the Community, which the administrators have then changed.
And not only with the stamps.
I have been working on the Perfins for the last few weeks, currently on the Danish ones, unfortunately they all have to be adjusted one by one.

Perfins also has a super administrator. Elements from open or closed lists can be changed by that administrator, if it is an element that occurs frequently.

I don't see a 'Designer/Engraver' field there...

With Stamps it is better, I think, to have it changed by an administrator (directly in the list). If you change it yourself, it will be added as a new element in the list, and the old one will remain there.

There is always the risk that, as long as the incorrect (or incomplete) spelling remains in the list, it will come into use again.
For open lists, the whole day. Those 'empty' ones are cleared at night.
With closed lists, they remain there for much longer. Until an administrator notices that there is nothing left on it and then removes it via the administrator module.
Unless it has been accidentally reused in an item in the meantime.
Then merging, via the administrator module by a super administrator, is often the only way out.

I have also been with LastDodo for a while now
I know roughly how it works with the changes.
If I change something, for example the year of death (if there are only a few), I always check whether the other name is set to 0, as this will be automatically removed after a while.
And I also know that there is a Super Manager at Perfins, I am in regular contact with him.
Have you ever changed a Perfin, what can an administrator do for me, this can only be done one by one.
Take for example these two from Denmark the Series T 28 with these two stamps #10523309 and #10532803 are two different stamps, so almost everything one adjusts is different.
I should also add that I have the Perfin Catalog from Denmark, so that works a bit better.

Lyonesse You have so much experience, it's right in the help text, I told you twice and Raoul said it again…
I give up, if you still want it your way…
