So in December someone did a redirect on this page and there doesn't seem to be a way to revert the edit. Does that mean all the discussion that previously was here has been lost? What a bummer! Jerianne 15:59, 15 January 2013 (UTC)

zine with the same title (duplicate)
hello everybody. what do you do when there is a zine with the same title as an already existing article? are there some existing examples? any suggestions?--Silent service 21:56, 11 March 2013 (UTC)

xZINECOREx
Zine librarians are making a metadata standard to help with cataloging zines. Please consider including a table with xZINECOREx metadata when you are adding or editing entries for zines on ZineWiki; it will help their efforts to create a zine union catalog (a combined catalog that describes the collections of multiple libraries, enabling better information sharing for zine library collections).

ZineWiki Updated
We've updated the mediwiki software and ZineWiki logins are now working properly again. Sorry the site was un-editable for a while. Let us know if you find anything not working as it should. Jerianne (talk) 17:40, 16 February 2015 (PST)
