Genres
Published Updated
A genre is a category the tenant files its series under, such as fantasy or romance. A series can be in any number of genres, chosen on its form, and readers browse the catalog by them. The genres are the tenant's own: nothing is predefined, and there is one flat list of them.
Genres, in the sidebar's Catalog group, holds the whole list on one page.
Managing genres
- New genre adds one, with Genre name and Create genre. Names are up to 50 characters and must be unique. A new genre goes to the end of the list.
- Each genre's name can be changed in place, with Save.
- Drag a genre by its handle to change its place. The order is the one the site lists genres in, and the one a series' genres are shown in.
- Edit opens a genre's page, whose Cover image tab gives it an image, as The cover image describes for a series.
- Delete removes a genre no series is in. A genre still in use cannot be deleted: take it off every series first.
A genre's name is shown as written in every language the site offers, so choose names that read in all of them.
On the site
- Browse by genre on the top page shows every genre, in the list's order, with the number of its published series. The section is hidden while the tenant has none.
- Genres, in the site's header, shows every genre as a tile, with its cover image or, without one, the covers of a few of its series.
- Each genre has a page with what is popular in it this week, and its series, which readers can narrow by status and other filters.
- A series page links to each of its genres.
