Anyway, come back to this, because this has not been definitively decided (I thought) and quite confusing.

I have just asked for a magazine where it literally says on the cover: Volume 79, try to fill in 79 and that is not possible, the number is too small. Apparently a year is expected here. 1897929

Currently there are two fields that actually say the same 'Year' and 'Year'. For reasons that are unclear, both should be given. If Volume had the meaning of 'Volume' as in scientific journals, this would make some sense, but now?

If you would like to enter things like 2001/2002 there, then this is not consistent with the definition of a volume = all magazines published in the same year .

Currently it is confusing. I would suggest renaming the required field to year. If someone needs 'special things' such as 2001/2002, this can always be done in an optional field.

edit: aaa = aa.

Is there an option to change the title ;-)

if you have created the topic yourself, you will see an 'edit' link appear when you place the cursor on the title ...

Wow fantastic that I now know that too. The reason I had never seen it is probably because it is there so big ;-)

Thanks!

indeed, if you stand with your nose against a tree, you will no longer see that it is a tree :-)

Not to mention the forest.

It does not have to be a calendar year. The volumes Taptoe and Okki bv. Are issued per school year .

I like semantics and this is really not an issue for me, I now enter it as requested. The simple question is: what about the inputers who don't like semantics?

For magazine it is very simple for a unique identification:

- Title
- Year
- Month / week nr

Why they are not mandatory and 'Volume' is a mystery to me and the future problem of the administrators.

And I am a little surprised that those who have called so hard to have a 'Magazines' section still have not signed up as an administrator.

Kudos to Arco, Jilles and Willem :-)
