Which part is not good exactly? The ordering is not what you would expect?

[22:58] ApeKattQuest so, here is a ting, I added tis book (gonna take soem time to add all the works because i have to create the authors, the works they are based from ,the excerpts and the in some cases originals transalted of. but this book has no "author" so i selected that. because i spesifically set that it doesnt havean author, it should not't prompt for people to add an author https://bookbrainz.org/edition/

bc1aac6d-6544-41fd-b9b6-5bcfda3bf19a it should onl do that with older books that where around befor we had author credits (imho) since we now must spesifically set that it doesn't have one whne we create edition)

Yes, also a ticket please! I sewar this one was previously fixed...
when adding a book, does it suffice to add a wikidata id for all the details? Is there a bot that imports bibliographic data from wikidata?
2025-10-23 29631, 2025
monkey[m]
shisma.: No there is currently no such bot

I asked reosarevok about an userscript that fetched data from wikidata/musicbrainz but he said it would be "not trivial"

Thanks kellnerd , your tip worked and I am logged in now on the local server.

But now I have a new problem. When I go to the /author/create page, the server crashes. I did a docker-compose down -v, rebuilt the database from scratch, and ran create_type_data.sql. The script says it inserts the data (INSERT 0 26), but when I immediately check the author_type table, it shows (0 rows). The data is not being saved.

Can anyone tell me why the data is not persisting in the database? Tagging monkey .
