Connecting multiple coins within section "Links to other coins" for all coins at once from single page [επιλυμένο]

Hi

I am sorry, but I have not searched if this idea has been mentioned before.

Often I am adding coins (tokens), which are in a set or are issued from same entity or similar and these coins can clearly be linked to other coins/tokens. Currently Numista within section "Links to other coins" does not allow to dynamically set up links to all coins on a single coin page for all at once. You can add links, but you have to modify each page separately (I welcome the "new" function, that automatically erases link to coin, on which page you are trying to add it). This is not nice, because due to human errors some links can drop out on some coins and then the whole set is not correctly linked to every other suitable coin/token. E.G., here are three such tokens (https://en.numista.com/catalogue/pieces119293.html), that could clearly be interconnected, by adding links only on one page - and links would then be automatically visible on all three pages.

I think admins should get an idea what I was trying to "blabber" here .

Best regards, mikimaus

Hello.
This is not always necessary. For example, I can refer from new replica to the old coin, but I do not need a link in the page with the old original coin for a new replica.

​Yes, I agree.

Also on the same topic; for Essai coins, my policy is to link the "real coin" to the essai, but there is no need to link the essai on the real coin's page.

An example:
Trial Strike, with link to regular coin:
https://en.numista.com/catalogue/pieces123033.html

Regular coin, without link to trial strike:
https://en.numista.com/catalogue/pieces6893.html

​Yes, also in agreement here. If you link the 'real' coin to every 'related' piece, you could end up with a very long list of trial strikes, patterns, tokens, etc., etc.

Hi
Maybe a better example https://en.numista.com/catalogue/pieces135019.html. I have one more coin to add in this series and so I will have to amend 17 coins again. How about an extra field with such interconnected links. I am sure admins will know how to deal with us plebs , when adding new coins.

Yes, it's very inconvenient to add a new page to the existing series. By the way, there is an additional difficult - I can not link more than 45 pages.

​I'm not agree about this : if they look pretty much the same or can be confused by a neophyte so the link should be added. Even if it's quite obvious for most collectors, it's not always the case for everyone and it's still interesting to see how a coin has been diverted from its original form.

I can relate recent examples of people asking to identify an "old" coin on the French forum that ended up to be some obvious modern tokens / replicas of feudal coins present on the catalog.
And I'm not talking about the normatensyl tokens, some other french advertising tokens that regulary appears on both sides of the identification section.

Same remark about trial strikes and patterns : a pattern or a trial strike can easily be confused as a circulated coin sometimes (especially if someone is not familiar with this coinage). Even if they are rare, it's a good think to remind collectors that they actually exist and it could be worth checking those pages to verify some details on the coins.

Those links are probably much more important than a list of coins from a main series that are depicting totaly different iconography as they could change the identification, authenticity and value of a "coin".

Regarding those points I still don't see any cases where a link should appear on one page only.

Hi

OK, lets close it here, its not going to happen. Thank you for deeper understanding of this topic.

I truly believe, that people would like to interlink all series of coins (eg. "Tresors de France") tokens with one stroke. There are around 100 of those French coins and none (or maybe some) of them are interlinked (maybe they should be, maybe not). But what has been said is, that someone might want to interlink such two coins (here I do not see any relevance setting up the links), based on a lookalike:
https://en.numista.com/catalogue/pieces78302.html
https://en.numista.com/catalogue/pieces75340.html

Thanks again!

​Personally, I do not see the reason for linking all the series of tokens that are released within a few years (for example "Trésors de France").

How about setting this functionality for "closed" sets of coins, here is one representative of such sets:
https://en.numista.com/catalogue/pieces141445.html

I would be really happy if there was such a tool to link several pages in such series with links just by ticking on them (as in a swap monitor). God, how much time it can save.

Hi
This can be closed, as linked "series" was established a while ago.

You can edit your first post yourself and untick "suggesting an idea to improve Numista" then you can put the thread as solved.
