Editions Shows Series

[nerdteacher]

So this is an example of what I mean: https://bookwyrm.social/book/180513/editions

This edition, for whatever reason, is connected to a bunch of entries in a series. I'm not sure if there's a way to split them up (or delete them to be re-imported), but they don't belong together.

It's also weird because I read the second volume, and it's connected to a bunch of them from 3+. (There's also a separate entry already existing for volume 3.)

Perhaps this could also be a feature request? Having the ability to separate out editions that don't belong might be useful. (Like a 'create new entry' sort of thing? I'm not sure.)

Ah how frustrating! I haven't built much in the way of tooling to let users correct this kind of book data error, but it's definitely needed.

Just wanted to bring up another example.

When I try to Start Reading a specific edition, I basically get a random one. Viewing Vol. 9 and hitting "Start Reading" presents me with a modal to start reading Vol. 5.

I'd like to know the progress of this feature.

There is no way to delete books or editions on the servers I manage, which is creating secondary accidents.

All an administrator can do is convert the book information entered by contributors into garbage information that can't be used by other users.
