the format on wd is like "25 May 1964" so NOt really easy to copy paste into bookbrainz

(as an addendum, the ctrl+z" undo/redo routine on the page seems fucked up, because when I select to the annotation and try to undo deleted or typed text it willinstead undo typed text in another field (the date) which uh, really annoying and not what I wanted)

(and even the "dd book"routine probably)

also we need a "no language" option for the work, since there are types witouth words (adding like 2 wildly different ones right now and neither have language, only telling the story in images)

also titles could possibly have "no linguistic content" like on mb because i'm *certan* there's books out there with like only dots or numbers or some shit liek that as a title

<LupinIII> "also we need a "no language..." <- There is one: [no linguistic content]

Oh, I guess you mean a checkbox to set no language, instead of selecting no linguistic content as the language?

i guess i expect, when writing "no" that "norwegian and "no lingusitic" would show close ...
