At chapter 10, the manual states, A loose (loosely issued) stamp is a series and a stamp, so you make two choices here. Is this still correct?. Only stamp is also good, right?.

If you do that, the individual stamps would not be shown when you make a selection from all Series.

It is about the individual stamps, not a series.

This is indeed a construction that often causes confusion, and is only intended for display in the LD gallery. If you filter by type=Series, you will see a complete overview. Both the issues of multiple stamps and the issues with one stamp.

If a stamp is issued separately, so to speak as 'a series of one', then indicate both 'stamp' and 'series' with this item.

Examples: #296405, #307127.

Frageria You don't understand.
If you want to see all individual stamps of a country, you can make a selection at Seal.
If you want to see all stamps of a country, but then in series, you can make a selection at Series.
Does it seem logical to you if you only see all series with more than 1 stamp?

A series is more like one in my opinion. All individual stamps and series are already on the main page anyway, so why do I look for them elsewhere?

Because series are duplicates of the separate stamps. Maybe you don't want to see them all on one page?
You don't have them (double) in your collection, do you?

So a single stamp is a stamp and a series is a series?.

That series contains 4 stamps, so the series is also listed separately: #8923339 .

Only if an Issue consists of a single stamp, the item is a Stamp and a Series.

See handbook item 10 bolleke 1.
#8977567 is a stamp, from a series of 2.  I don't have the other stamp, so I can that don't add. If you have too many, welcome (but my Christmas tree is already gone) :)
If you click on 'issue' you can see that the 'series' consists of 2 stamps.

Bee #8962621 and #8977567 no Issue has been entered, that is certainly not correct.
Those two and #8962621 may be a series, if they are the only stamps of the Issue in question. If more stamps belong to it, they must be entered separately as a Seal, and the complete Series as a separate item.

If you look them up in some catalog and it turns out to be a loosely issued stamp, then you should add the 'Series' kind as a good family man.
There is a good chance that they are part of a series that is composed of more than 1 stamp, but that one has been added as an item here.
The other stamps from the larger whole will follow later.
As long as you are not sure that it is a Separately issued stamp is, of course, do not add 'Series' (and you stay away from it). Others may be better placed to add the additional type 'Series' with certainty and knowledge if this proves necessary.

To begin with, it was a question. No need to jump right in. It just strikes me that this mistake is made a lot. Maybe a little clearer in the handbook, don't know?.

If the importer doesn't bother to fill in the Issue at all, then it becomes completely gambling.
Filter again on Germany 2022, there are even more. A run of 1 is one Seal and Series. But as Raoul said, you can't change until you're sure.

Frageria, agree. Hence my 1st comment ""This is indeed a construction that often causes confusion" ....  This is not clearly stated in the manual.

As already written somewhere, it can be selected on 'Series' in several circumstances. And then you must also have the series of 1 stamp with you.
These circumstances are, for example, when working as an administrator. The series of a year as a 2nd window (next to the window with all items of a year) as a kind of summary. eg. to get all items from an issue together. Duplication detection. Works well. For example, I was able to have about 60 removed from Togo in 2 days in the first years.
Even some created by myself lol. Because the items were present in that country in a completely wrong year, with no mention of an issue. And you only determine that afterwards. Is to eat your clack of then but it is no different. Administrative work is work, a lot of work. And no matter how stupid something seems: just do your thing and don't lose sleep over it. And don't start whining about it either, because that really won't solve it.
What also helps is tactfully approaching someone who has added, or changed something.
For a friendly question, via PM, what the difference is between the added and another item (mention number) you usually solve 2 problems: the concrete detail, and the origin of evil.

What about such stamps, should they now be part of the single stamp Stamp and Series or just Stamp?
#8930925  #8830123
Are these two stamps together then a Series?
Are they often issued in recent years.

No idea, my Germany catalog doesn't go that far. so i stay away from it. There are dozens of Germany specialists on LD who are better placed to answer that.

For those who know how the seal in the series (fork in the stem) works, the manual is clear enough in my opinion.

The name 'Series' may also have to become 'Issue', but then other confusions start to bubble up.
It is an agreement, which is clearly included in the manual, with advantages. No more, no less.
Add a loosely issued stamp to LD, and you don't want to give it the sort of 'Series' next to 'Seal'. Then the next right-grounded user will do that for you. It'll be fine.
Just like it'll be fine if you don't enter an issue name, just as it'll be fine if you don't list a catalog number, just as it'll be fine if you don't differentiate between serrated and imperforate, just like it will be all right if you don't fill in the year of issue, ...  You can actually leave all fields to the left and upload a nice picture. It will be fine.
But rather not: fill in the maximum of fields of what you know (and see) about the item. And do so according to the agreements in the handbook.
The handbook is only 10 minutes of reading, at the moment. There is not much in it (yet).
Because of ongoing discussions, the handbook will be expanded shortly. And then expanded many times.
Next year the discussion will focus on whether the handbook should not go into less detail, because it will take several hours to read.
