Book title tooltip regarding series naming

[annob [on hiatus]]

Hi,
as a new GR Librarian who rely heavily on the LibMan and other guides to learn the ropes, I've noticed a few tooltips and guide texts regarding book series naming / numbering in need of a small update.

In the Librarian Manual, the section about book title field, current series naming examples indicate the syntax should be (seriesName #N). The LibMan mentions an earlier convention to add a comma between the series name and the sequence number of the book within the series.

The tooltip and guide text on the Add New Book / Edit Book pages still instruct (by giving examples) the use of a comma in the series name. These book page guide texts are what I wish should be updated to be aligned with the current Librarian Manual instructions. Please see pictures below from the Add New Book page.

Please let me know if I have gotten the instructions all wrong of course, or if there is another forum better suited for my request.

Hi annob, there is already a thread discussing this in the Additions to Manual folder (sometimes it is a toss-up where to post threads :) )

See this thread for a longer recent discussion on the same question.

Short answer, "SERIES, #1" AND "SERIES #1" are both considered correct.

I'm glad to hear there already is a thread where this topic is discussed. Thank you both for directing me to it!
