Lyonesse
We are abusing the topic about the Perfins Handbook, hence a new topic.
The listed items have been transferred.

I don't know if all these service stamps should be transferred Lyonesse and Collectioneur ?. These stamps were used by the government. Often there is also an imprint on the stamp and no perforation. This usage type is now under stamps, service.

Example Luxembourg,

All Perfins are, over time, also referred to as Service Stamps.
The same goes for taxes, fiscal stamps, etc.
Your top stamp, so the one with the holes is also a Perfin.

This is correct Lyonesse .

Problem is going to be now, they are also under service in the stamp section. Together with the overprints. If you take the perfins out of here, everything is spread out.

We agree that they are Perfins Charles and that there is now a Perfin Catalog at LastDodo.
So it is logical that they are transferred to the Perfin Catalog.
A Perfin is an existing stamp with holes and they belong in the Perfin Catalog.
The same thing is happening now with the Precancels, these are also existing stamps with an overprint and they belong to the newly created Precancels area.
Yes, they are in the Stamp Catalog because until recently there was no Catalog for both.

Perfins ... to prevent misuse (theft) of stamps in companies.
The imprint 'Officiel' (service) has a similar reason as origin. To prevent civil servants from adjusting their income alternatively.
The government (civil service) can also be considered a kind of 'company'. A permanently loss-making company, that is :)
The stamps were protected against theft and misuse by overprinting or holes.

The line is thin.

Spreading over multiple categories is normal. Occurs more often:
- Julzegels bv are Sealing Stamps that are not in the Sealing Stamps category;
- the Christkindl envelopes and cards that are clearly made by the post, but are not allowed in the stamp section. Only the 'stamp' in Other and the labels in Sealing stamps;
- magazines (Diddl Kaasblad) that are included in Comics (perhaps because there is only one comic hero in them, I think);
- books that are not included in books because their raison d'être is 'pasting in pictures',
- ...

It is a matter of weighing up, deciding after consultation, and then recording (in the manual: clear agreements). The latter should be a minimum to give new users the chance to learn 'something' about all those many agreements and customs.

Only the Super Administrators of the sections concerned can/may discuss and decide on such matters.
Only Super Admins can have something included in the manual of the section they manage.

Take for example this collection area, department service Lyonesse .

Bavaria(73)

If you remove the perfins, the imprints remain. Then a collector of service stamps has to look in two categories. Doesn't seem logical to me ?.

The same thing is now happening with the Precancels
Not quite.
Not all precancels are moved. I hope to read it in the 'Stamp Handbook' one day. The vademecum of that section, and the proof of good management ... or 'improviste' management.
Exceptions were mentioned recently. Again, I fear, just material for the virtual book of secret agreements. New users, new users join every day, are to be pitied if they are stamp collectors.

I myself always come straight out with my ideas, what I think about them, and how I would solve them. And as long as nothing is definitive, I will stick to it like a pitbull. I have never been ashamed of my ideas. They are always explained in detail, thought through and substantiated.
That other solutions or positions are taken afterwards, or other agreements are made (which I do not immediately agree with) is not a problem. I do adapt, with of course all the consequences (closing my own shop on LD or locating sub-collection areas elsewhere is not a problem).
It does become a problem if you can't find those solutions, propositions and agreements anywhere. Or people are ashamed of them.
No matter how bad a solution or agreement is: it is always better than no agreements at all.
In my opinion, not recording anything is the same as 'there are no agreements'.

I don't know exactly what you want now Charles.
Raoul62 also indicated above about the distribution in various Catalogs at LD.

Perfins have a Manual and it is clearly described there.

We call both the company perforations and the government perforations Perfins and include them in the Catalogue

So I think Luxembourg's too.

I don't want to write more about this, you can discuss the rest with briefmarke or Collectioneur.

In the distant past, stamps with perforations were moved from the stamps section to the Miscellaneous section. Recently, they have been placed in the Perfins section.
The Stamp Handbook does not mention perfins.
The (concept) manual Perfins states: A perfin is a stamp with a perforation in the stamp image.

It seems clear enough to me that stamps with perforations belong to the Perfins category.
The items mentioned will be transferred to Perfins.

Yippie, we only have imperforate stamps left. That also saves a lot of discussion.

Seriously, since the (concept) manual has never been discussed with the stamp (super) administrators and they do not necessarily keep the perfin forum up to date, I find your conclusion premature. I would therefore like to urge to wait with converting until this has been discussed.

Haha, yes I also learn from Raoul62 by putting things clearly so that they get a squeak.
The (concept) manual Perfins was published quite some time ago, including that definition. There has never been any comment on it to date.

Then please provide clear definitions for a Stamp item, Closing stamp item, Fiscal stamp item, Perfin item, Postal cancellation, etc.
For me it is negotiable if everything has to be placed in the Stamps section, but then many more fields would have to be added on top of the current large number of fields.

If the extra fields are conditional, I don't really understand the problem there either.

I also think that the super administrators of Stamps and Perfins should first consult about this, in order to have an agreement that can then be recorded.
I think there is more demining involved with those specific items than just the perforations (holes) made in the seals.
Everything is possible, but it must be well thought out ('with reason'). Conclusive and, if possible, as clear as possible.

Perhaps include the super manager of Fiscal Stamps in the meeting.
After all, there are also tax stamps with holes ...
What is the main thing and what is the side issue. Purpose and use.

There is an inevitable split, always, wherever you put those things. We don't have a category-neutral (gender-neutral :)) category, and we don't want one. I don't. We're already busy with 'Other' I suppose.
There are no good or bad decisions in this case. Only a well-founded and clear explanation of the decision makes a difference.

They are service stamps (Stamp category) and they are perfins (Perfins category) ...
They are Fiscal stamps (Fiscal stamps category) and Perfins (Perfins category).

One lucky thing (for now): I have never seen a Seal with company perforations. But what is not ...

If the extra fields are conditional, I don't really understand the problem there either.

Setting up a single conditional field is not always easy, but setting up the many conditional fields needed is unfeasible. Also because multiple dependencies will probably have to be assigned to the same field. In the end, almost everyone will get confused by the continuous jumping of the visible fields when different choices are made.

Until there are clear and distinct definitions of a stamp, perfin, seal, fiscal stamp, etc., no more items will be migrated to and from the Stamps section.
Arguing is fun until everyone keeps playing the same old tune and refuses to compromise.

There will never be sharp definitions Collectioneur . A sharp definition disadvantages one collector and is right for another collector.

It seems better to me to take a look at how the same item can be applied in different categories. So one and the same item, with all collectors attached to it, visible in different categories. This must be possible in this advanced computer science age. Seems to me quite a challenge for the technicians at LD.

The alternative, of course, is to continue a discussion that will never end and that will waste a lot of time.

That's already quite nice via links, but I get the impression that, according to the pz people, they should refer to items in the Stamps section and not the other way around:-)

There is a substantive reason for this, but I have forgotten how it was. Creating such a link does not work "symmetrically". In general, I find the whole mechanism (too) difficult if you only use it occasionally (said the person who asked for a lot of conditional fields :-/ ).

The link to that collection area is then included in a different section for the item itself.
In the collection area, the header (gray bar) contains the link to the linked items.


Clicking on the Related categories provides a link to Postcards and Collection Albums.

Indeed Helv , you have to create these links twice. From both sides.

For example, see #10321707 and #630851 , in history then.

By the way Collectioneur , is the above example legal? Because if this is legal, the perfins, which are now still with stamps, can simply remain. And the perfin collector can enter his own perfin with the perfins. Ergo, then there is no need to house these doubtful cases.

What's illegal about that match brand?
When we talk about perfins we are talking about perforations in the seal image, not about perforations through which something can be torn off.
