There is no theme 'Diddl' in 'Other', so it has to go via 'Designer' for the Diddl collectors.

A complicated matter if Diddl is your collecting area. And there are still quite a few Diddl collectors.
It is becoming clear to me why they are massively absent from LD. A hopeless task. There is so much variation in the items and merchandising that all those things are spread over thirty-eleven categories, without a single common factor.
Sometimes it works with 'Publisher' Depesche, sometimes it works with 'Designer' Thomas Goletz, Sometimes it works with Manufacturer Despesche and/or Diddl, sometimes with 'Keyword', sometimes with 'Theme' ... I would not want to manage my Diddl collection on LD in such a way. There is no way to start.
And where you want to offer added value by adding Diddl as a theme, it is removed as quickly as you can add it. After which 'Link collection area' produces an empty screen ...
No, that's not how you get that group of collectors on board. I had written to a few of them and they didn't like it at all. I can only agree with them.
Also the 'Couple collection area' gives a serious dent. The effort is not worth it.

Your request has also been fulfilled for the categories Postcards and Figurines and figures :-)
At Videogames, Thomas Goletz is listed as the publisher, so we write that name there as Thomas Goletz .
Also adapted for Comics , Stamps , Books , Dolls and bears .

... for Images not Theme, Designer, Publisher, Keyword ... but 'Copyright holder'
And not 'Goletz, Thomas [1966]' but simply 'Thomas Goletz'.

Remains not very attractive.
We'll see if that will convince those collectors...
I'm actually a little afraid of that.

Could add Diddl as a theme to other... But leave it to the collectors to hang something on it

You have raised exaggeration to an art form, but it is now backfiring.
The fact that there is no theme Diddl in Other is because no one has entered it. It is a free field, so anyone can enter that theme.
That themes are not something overarching, stripspeldjes has already clearly explained. That searching on Diddl does not yield all desired results, is entirely dependent on the input by collectors.
That a theme like Diddl is removed, seems wrong to me. Please let me know via a PM.

In video games, the publisher name Depeche may be changed to Depesche.

For postcards there now appear to be 2 names for 'Publisher general name'. Difficult selection, because with the filters you still cannot combine (limited to one choice).
I think the 'Publisher general name' field is intended to overcome that problem.

Depesche
Depesche Transport

I propose to merge to simply 'Depesche'.

Exaggerate

No, don't exaggerate.
I just look over the walls, not with horse goggles on.
If Theme cannot be cross-sectional, then a new field should be added that is used in all sections (but not abused):
'Collection area'. For the Theme collectors.
I was recently in contact with a collector of Owls. You don't want to hear what his opinion was about LD. But it did feel a bit owlish.
For postcards you first have to make a selection on 'Animals: Owl', and then a selection on 'Birds: Owls'.
At Beeldjes it is only possible to make a selection with 'Birds: Owls'.
For Stamps, 'Owls' will suffice.
In Books I wouldn't know how to get books with/about Owls out. I can get the Fabeltjeskrant out (I know from the past that there's a Mr. Owl in it), but otherwise...
...

No, don't exaggerate.

It feels like the loose sand you want to hold in your hand, described in a poem by EA Poe.
You want to fix a small problem with a device, you open it up and ... dozens of parts jump out in all directions.

What you say about multiple themes being used in some sections (Birds: Owls, etc.) is a pity and something we should try to avoid. The people who set that up did so with good intentions to see all Birds etc. in one list in the overviews.
This doesn't work optimally in a digital database. If you want to bring up a theme like Batman, you shouldn't have to look at Comics: Batman and at Films: Batman, but just at Batman. Then you can filter further from there.

By exaggerating I certainly do not mean your substantive objections, but what you constantly posit. That has no added value for LastDodo, but your substantive comments do.

An umbrella field is not necessary, if you search for example Diddl, the relevant items will appear in the result. If they are not visible, the fields are not filled in correctly.
