Add or edit an article about a literary work

This form creates or edits a general dictionary entry about a literary work using {{CTD literature}}. Separate editions and translations may have their own pages; link them in the publications and translations fields. Use «CTD periodical» for periodicals.

Page names:

  • For a work with a known author, use Surname I.I. - Work title, for example Blavatsky H.P. - The Secret Doctrine. Use only established names and initials.
  • If the author is unknown, use Work title without an author prefix, and add «Literature with unidentified authors» to the categories field.
  • Use Latin letters, digits, spaces and the punctuation .,-() in the page name. Omit other punctuation or replace it with these characters. This page name becomes part of the web address. Preserve the complete title, including its original punctuation, in the title field inside the entry.
  • Widely known works without an individual author, such as the Bible and the Bhagavad Gita, do not need an author prefix. Do not put a collection's editor in the page name; for example, use Five Years of Theosophy.
  • Check for an existing entry before creating a new page. See Editorial guidelines for the general rules.
