BookBrainz, MusicBrainz identifiers easily mislabeled as StoryGraph identifiers

[stopregionblocking]

Problem

Because all 3 libraries use UUIDs & Storygraph identifiers were integrated into OL first, when adding author identifiers the menu which guesses what kind of identifier you're including will automatically guess StoryGraph. This makes mistakes far easier.

Reproducing the bug

1. Go to edit an author page.
2. Copy a BookBrainz or MusicBrainz author identifier.
3. Paste it into the identifier field.

• Expected behavior: The field either guesses it to be BookBrainz/MusicBrainz identifier (admittedly difficult) or does not attempt to guess the source.
• Actual behavior: The field guesses it to be a StoryGraph identifier.

Context

• Browser (Chrome, Safari, Firefox, etc):
