For individual sets I see the "See any inaccuracies?" button, so I can go through each one and report the correct name.

However, for groups of sets, I don't see where to report that a name change is needed -- there is no "inaccuracies" button in my interface. What to do there?

For example: currently, most of the Wills's Cigarettes set names are misspelled. On TCDB they are written "Wills" or "Will's" but on the cards they are always written "Wills's", s-apostrophe-s.

So I could report each set name, but the British Empire series is a group of sets, and I don't see a report inaccuracies button:

What to do there?

Go into each set that is incorrect and submit a report for each. Sorry, but that's currently the only way.

Right, but once that is done the meta-set will still be incorrect, won't it? I'm not asking about batch editing, just fixing the meta-set *at all* if I can't report it....

So the link I provided is to a set of sets called "1913 Will's Cigarettes British Empire Series". 

https://www.tcdb.com/ViewSet.cfm/sid/247921/1913-Will's-Cigarettes-British-Empire-Series

Even after I report each of the three sets inside it, its own title will *still* be wrong -- and there is no report button.

I submitted this IR https://www.tcdb.com/InaccuraciesManager.cfm?MODE=TOOLS&ID=266194 from the meta-set.

Thank you.

...oh! I see. On the set, the IR button is on the far lower left, but on metasets it is in the right-hand column instead (at least on my desktop browser layout) It was there, I just wasn't seeing it. Sorry.

Metaset?  Do you mean "insert" set? "Base" set? "Parallel" set? "Subset"?  Because metaset means a set of sets. Which would relate to all the Inserts and Related Sets of a base set. Please use correct terminology for our database to avoid confusion. 

C2Cigars, if you go to this set it is a set of sets, there are no base cards - https://www.tcdb.com/ViewSet.cfm/sid/247921/1913-Will's-Cigarettes-British-Empire-Series

These sets are listed under the inserts as well, but I can see how a new member would refer to this as a Metaset.  Life was different in the card collecting world of 1913. 

Yes, they're all listed as "Parallels" because Admin chooses not to listed them as separate releases nor choose one as the official Base set. Even though each brand was a separate release exclusive to only packs of those brands. So they're all listed under the company name instead of the brand name.

My point was "metaset" is not a term generally used or understood on our site.  Just like when new members incorrectly use "subset" to refer to "inserts". 

Thanks so much, C2Cigars, since that term is not generally used or understood, would you share with me what preferred term I should use in the future?

So there are three "parallels", if I understand correctly -- the Capstan Navy Cut, Havelock Cigarettes, and Vice Regal Mixture sets, but I wasn't referring to these. The parallels are each listed as "included sets" under a ________ named "Wills's Cigarettes British Empire Series," which has no base cards. A ______ is what we on tcdb call a set of sets, which has no cards itself.
