How does one go about resolving duplicated entries in Bookwyrm?
@SallyStrange@bookwyrm.social Ask your admin to merge the entries. They can do it. Single entries then become editions of the same work.
@SallyStrange@bookwyrm.social If you find out, let me know. I have a few that have been bugging me haha.
@KnitAFett@books.theunseen.city Seems like a systemic problem. See also: lists with duplicate names and/or content.
@SallyStrange@bookwyrm.social @KnitAFett@books.theunseen.city There is a workaround for authors I've seen some use and have tested myself which involves adding "(duplicate)" to the least complete or accurate entry (or entries) and then changing the author information for all of the affected titles. I have read that there's something in development which is supposed to be intended to let non-admin users do some of this work in a more effective way, but I have no idea when it might be implemented.
