Why are some award pages no longer displaying parenthetical information for each book? Has something changed in the code for the page or for CK?
See for instance:
http://www.librarything.com/bookaward/10... http://www.librarything.com/bookaward/Gu...These used to have parenthetical information displayed, in one case showing which edition of
1001 Books listed that particular book, and in the second case showing which theme of the Guardian list the book belonged to. The information is still in CK for the books, so far as I can tell, but it's no longer showing on the award page.
Interesting - if you go and check individual work pages, the parenthetical information is still there.
I'm wondering if the information has gotten "stricter" in the way that it displays parenthetical information. And now I know I'm not being crazy. I just finished the list for the ALA Outstanding Books for the College Bound -
http://www.librarything.com/bookaward/AL...And when I started, I originally wanted to do the classification simply as a parenthetical. After all, I was pretty sure that I'd done it on the Guardian list that way - but it wouldn't display. So I had to do entries with the pipe method to get the words to display.
I guess I wasn't mistaken!
Bump. All non-numeric information in parentheses is still not appearing on award pages.
Should we start thinking about changing the way we enter awards? Or is this non-numeric data going to be displayed on award pages again soon?
I was looking at the Commonwealth Writers' Prize page, for instance, and there's now no way on that page to see all the information about which ones were the regional prizes vs. the overall prizes, and so forth (which is all data that people have entered but that isn't being displayed on the award page).
http://www.librarything.com/bookaward/Co...I've been noticing this for a while. I wish we had better standardizations on how the Awards and Honors should work. Like for shortlists or fiction/nonfiction, readers choice, different editions etc.. it's sort of turning into a monster.
