Is there a possibility to report / merge duplicate entries?

5395503 appears to be a duplicate entry of 821669 in every respect.

The standard method is to replace the title of the duplicate item with DOUBLURE of ......... (number of the item that must remain).
Administrators regularly scan for this and then go if merge.

Does the principle also apply to other categories such as Trading Cards: oldest item (smallest LD number) remains?

I think that was especially important with Stamps (input Collect-a-ROM) and Comics (input Bonte).
I don't think it makes sense as an obligation.

For me (in the pins section) it is especially important which item has the best images and the most info. The remaining item must contain a combination of all the information. That all has to be completed manually and the transfer of images takes a lot of extra time.

That someone was the first importer will be a pain if the second importer has put more effort into it.
Maybe that's why as if some items were placed in collections or shops before the item was in the catalog, but no one checks that anyway.

I thought that Daan brought the best image, and the common good info together in the oldest item ...

Usually I choose the item with the best input and images and not who entered it first

I have also been instructed that in Stamps the smallest should remain (does an administrator indeed have to complete and merge more?).
In other sections, other administrators have never received any comments.

With postage stamps we have had the rule for years that the oldest import remains. Easy to remember and works fine.

Is fine too, in the end the super admins decide how to merge the 2 items. Complete information and good images are especially important for the catalog.

Oldest item seems to make the most sense to me, since it is probably the most linked.
If a newer item has better details in terms of input, it makes sense to copy those details to the older item, and then to copy the newer item. remove. (or refer, if possible)

The items have just been merged with the oldest number saved.

Furthermore, per item we will check which input is the most complete with regard to the information.
Images are then chosen based on the best image.

Tammo,

Now that a lot has been clarified here, a bonus question :)
On the forum it is now super handy with the # sign for an LD number. You can click on and immediately see the item. It is better to click with the scroll wheel of the mouse: you will get it ready to use in a new tab. Then your original leaf will remain untouched. Still so handy.
example: # 8025547

And now the question: In the title of an item # does not work (have tried it :)). But it would be handy if not much programming work, if it worked like that in the title. Then everyone, user - administrator - super administrator, who wants / has to view the duplicate items, can navigate very smoothly to the mother item. Click with the scroll wheel and it will be neatly ready in a new tab.
And whether as a finder you type a double 'DOUBLURE of' + LD number with or without #, that's really no extra work. But it must be possible, of course.

And ... if it would also work in the 'Particulars' box. Imagine ... that you could put in there 'Don't confuse with #nnnnn, that stamp has no flags in the image'. Then you can link each other. Only one click away ...

@ Raoul62 Just a comment before you start dreaming.
It doesn't hurt much in the forum, this is a temporary medium for discussions (You can consult old messages, but this has no catalog value)
Before I also see the use of duplications. After all, duplications are also temporary and will be resolved by administrators as soon as possible.
When you start playing with songs in the catalog (and yes, I know it often happens) realize that the stability of the catalog depends on the users. If someone marks an item and has it removed, your system will be of no use to you except chaos.

Within LastDodo, all linked users (collection, shop and search list) are included during the merge. Merging items takes all the time of super admins, this has to be done carefully and effectively.

This is exactly the reason why it is better not to refer to another item number. Many items are moved and / or merged every day.

Ctrl + left mouse also works.

Top! But then you will get it in a new window, not a new tab.
Such tricks are great for productivity.
For example, if I want to compare three items (the detail) then I click with the scroll wheel on all three (one by one of course), and there they are all ready. With Ctrl+PageDown / Ctrl+PageUp I can then switch quickly. If I then leave the mouse pointer in the right place, the left and right hand work with unprecedented performance when, for example, making changes (creating uniformity in the data) :) Try that on a tablet (grin grin).

Perhaps depending on your browser, both buttons do the same here.

ctrl click, or mid mouse does the same.
shift click opens a new window. that's in chrome, not sure if that works differently in firefox, but ctrl click I thought, anyway, we're going a bit off topic.
