How to contribute items missing from the Colnect Stamp Catalog

It was just a red triangle ! at the catalog code line. It simply would not accept my sakura catalog number even though it is correct.

Could you please try again and if it happens take a screen shot and post it here - I need to see exactly what the error is

The form of the catalog code should be simply country code followed by catalog number, so something like

JP 2083

would be all that you would enter in the catalog code line. No abbreviations for the catalog itself, that is generated by the system itself based on the catalog you chose at the top of the NIFiller.

Note that the country code MUST be in capital letters, and there is a space between country code and the catalog number

Question - I'd like to add a bunch of Cinderellas for the many Discworld stamps that have been issued since 2004. The problem is how to create a new series, and how to get the "currencies" used on these fantasy stamps into the system. Any help would be very welcome.

Oh - and how to add the "Discworld" stamp catalog IDs - yes they have a catalog at http://www.discworldstampcatalogue.co.uk/...

On the NIF under the series selection there is a tick box "Not on list" tick that and then you can create a new series.

You will need a new currency - Discworld Penny (p)?? - open a new thread to request it.

You will need to create a Colnect code - don't know rules for this - suggest you raise a thread to ask.

Add the "Discworld" catalog numbers in the description field.
