There are no fill-in instructions for placing images in the Puzzles collection area yet, so I try this way.

I propose that the first image should be an image (photo from right above) or scan of the puzzle itself, completed.

The second image is then an image of the box seen from the top.

The third image is an image of the side of the box

I would like to see that the first 2 should be mandatory and the third optional.

Who thinks differently about that?

I would do it differently, because the first image is mandatory and maybe not everyone wants to put their puzzle first (or put it at all) before entering it. So:

1st image box above

2nd box on the side (not mandatory) or image box below, if relevant (not mandatory)

3rd image puzzle placed (not required)

1st image box above

2nd box on the side (not mandatory) or image box below, if relevant (not mandatory)

3rd image puzzle placed (not required)

I can agree with this.

With

the puzzle itself, completely laid

We do ask a lot of the importers.
And then reject the item if something is missing, certainly ;-)

Sorry, just entering all the pieces as single items is best. How else can you put such a missing piece on your wish list, Arwin?

Image 1 = front piece
Image 2 = back piece
Image 3 = side piece

(;-)

Hm, selling individual pieces instead of complete puzzles.

Brilliant Arco.

I am now talking about puzzles of the type jigsaw puzzles with or without a picture.

By the way, that is a split that I don't think is entirely correct, but CataWiki will have its reasons for that. By the way, I think they are both just puzzles with a sub-category with or without a photo. One kind is, for example, a jigsaw puzzle or a disc puzzle or a surprise egg puzzle (??)

The completed puzzle does not necessarily have to be on the 1st image for me. There are also people who only keep puzzles in new condition and then you have to break open the bag to place it. In any case, there must be information about the puzzle itself, so an image of the box from above as the first image is required.

An image of the side of the box is often important if there is a puzzle made by different manufacturers. Bommel puzzles, for example, have been released with the same drawing from several manufacturers.

And if someone has put the puzzle anyway, for example to know if it is complete (much faster than counting and also more fun!), Take a picture of it and place it with the relevant item.

And if someone has an incomplete puzzle and still wants to enter it, it is difficult to enter it. I find a puzzle where pieces are missing not a reasonable state, but an incomplete state. But I've already posted that suggestion in another forum entry.

In any case still needed as a new species:

- Block Puzzle (eg 1400267 )

- Framing puzzle (eg 227769 )

- Button puzzle (such as this one )

- 3-D puzzle

Incidentally, strangely enough, a field Material (wood, cardboard, plastic) is missing.

It just turns out to be a collection category that is still very much growing. And how do you photograph a 3-D puzzle? There you can at least only present the puzzle itself 2-D, even if you take the picture with a 3-D camera (hmmm, a 3-D picture of a 3-D image, what would that look like? ).

A frame jigsaw puzzle seems like a regular jigsaw puzzle with drawing. If there is a split in the type of puzzle, then that is a clear description. With CataWiki it is and appears to be very important to get the actual object / item well described. Framework Jigsaw Puzzle is a good one for that.

3-D puzzle, you can also split it into different shapes, right?

Another category: Mystery puzzle (for example a Baantjer puzzle, see 503313 ) That can be found under themes, but I also think it is a kind of puzzle. I really think we should come up with something on a photo jigsaw puzzle.

You cannot enter the material and how far do you want to go in describing the puzzles. With wooden pieces you have different thicknesses of the pieces. Should that also be able to be entered?

I also did not come across an age category.

Time to open a separate forum item about the input fields and the layout at Puzzles?

@ Nicole-a: what is a surprise egg puzzle?

And in addition, you also have the thinking puzzles: puzzles that don't really look like puzzles. For example, there is a set with different sticks per 2 strung together in all kinds of ways. Just see how to untie it, quite a puzzle! Or the wooden blocks with a rope through a hole and see that rope is loosened. There are still many such puzzles. Puzzle puzzles or thinking puzzles ??

Surprise egg puzzle

A frame puzzle is a special shape, because the puzzle pieces are placed on a backboard (and in a frame).

And to be clear: I do not understand a 3-D puzzle as this but this .

Or mini puzzles (in a small box or from a surprise egg, for example)

I had indeed already found the surprise egg puzzles. Those don't seem like special puzzles to me. Besides hatching from an egg, they are just small puzzles, mini puzzles

You cannot enter the shape of the puzzles either. What if you have a round puzzle or a different shape? Difficult to specify the dimensions (diameter?)

I also came across floor puzzles at a games store. But that just seems like a big puzzle to me.

@Bookstore: I had the same in mind, but the other one is also a kind of puzzle or at least a jigsaw puzzle with a certain theme.

And that is exactly why I do that at 428679 did.
Was indeed a fun activity for someone who spares no puzzles at all ...

I must also have that thing in a crate somewhere. When I find it I will see if I have the same puzzle in the box.

Very nice, Arco! Did you sell the item afterwards? You are not with the collectors nor in the shop. How did you manage to put it? By a fellow collector?

Why would there be any other in it?

Because it doesn't look like what's on the lid?

And that's why those 2nd and / or 3rd images are so important. On the basis of those images you can see if it is the same puzzle with the same box.

I have the item myself, but I am not yet ready for the cupboard where the puzzle is. And then I will not add it to my collection yet. When I let go of that system, at some point I don't remember what I added and what I didn't add.

Handy that you have a system to enter and / or add everything to your collection! I have so much and spread over different locations that I have to do it in parts and individually. I give all items I add a CataWiki Catalog number with pencil on the item. If that is not possible, then a sticker that is easy to remove (rubber dolls or model cars for example). I also photograph all items, because you can't export CataWiki images yet, so I make them myself.

My downside is that I am an omni collector and collect a lot. I am already happy with everything I can put in it. But indeed, that which is cataloged will be given a different place in the space where I got it from.

A long, long time ago there was a discussion about the type of images and the order of 1, 2 or 3.

I am also active in the puzzles category and try to streamline the input there. After all, every catalog benefits from uniformity; also in terms of images. But that sometimes leads to discussions with new imports. So it would be practical if the sequence is prescribed.

It was already mentioned during the earlier discussion on this forum; the front and side of the box contain important information and features for the catalog. That is why it is important when those as resp. first and second images are included. The puzzle is then optional as number 3.

My suggestion for the order of capturing pictures in puzzles is:

1. front box;

2. side box; and

3. (optional) the image of the actual puzzle (complete or incomplete does not matter).

and include that order in a speech bubble for images 1, 2 and 3.

Could this be?
