Tag counts are off

I have found a lot of tag counts are off, here are only 2 examples but I know there are more.

The tag DS9: http://www.librarything.com/tag/DS9
says it is used: 2,786 times by 7 members
But really it is used...
Using the tag DS9
theapparatus (107), mattpburgess (96), MichaelS (69), DanieXJ (65), disturbingfurniture (65), purple_kathryn (62), Stevil2001 (60), mirrani (60), ATimson (57), MavFan (57), empire21 (54), cycoduck (54), lauramreid (53), Avron (52), ginskye (45), ungratefulwench (44), nesum (44), nwa_library (41), Sindi (39), abilenedave (39), sailordanae (38) ... and 14 other members

Also
The tag electrical engineering: http://www.librarything.com/tag/electrical+engineering
Says it is used: 1,318 times by 2 members
But it is really used:
Using the tag electrical engineering
kdishman (71), fwalchak (63), PaulFAustin (48), jhjones (41), jciern (37), billposer (35), Knud (34), shj2be (33), redrackham (31), SandwellPMO (29), biblechick (29), thepogoman (21), classicthought (19), Kerflugalled (17), ittcolumbus (17), alektzin (17), bkleinwort (16), fredbacon (15), mr_rax (15), jshrop (14), qmechanic (14) ... and 102 other members

Also this isn't necessarily wrong but misleading, because private libraries don't show up. (I am assuming that is the case.) So for these there should be a non hyperlinked Private Library(ies) (x) so it's not confusingly vague.

Open Water Swimming
http://www.librarything.com/tag/Open+Water+Swimming
Says it is used: 3 times by 3 members
But then it's only tagged by...
Using the tag Open Water Swimming
kdla (1), rosedemars (1)

So it looks wrong.

Here's another really bad one:

Nonfiction - Biography http://www.librarything.com/tag/Nonfiction+-+Biography
Says it's used: 685 times by 1 member
But it is really used:
Using the tag Nonfiction - Biography
BethComm (91), bookjones (31), TheCelticSelkie (29), Reins (24), HolyFamilyLibrary (18), jcwesthead (17), spotsy (15), mrgreg (14), ckuonen (7), ShalimarKerithe (7), Lam (6), jdrstar04 (5), Katiegoeb (5), faceinbook (4), domahony (4), ProdigalReader (4), NYUGeorgiouLibrary (4), debmls (4), lavoip (4), Shu (3), AlmeidaTBarnes (3) ... and 131 other members

And another:

historical fiction http://www.librarything.com/tag/historical+fiction
Says it's used: 272,925 times by 2 members (damn, those are some prolific readers!
But it's really used:
Using the tag historical fiction
ariadne02 (2479), joririchardson (1334), rebecca191 (1309), Pages_Aplenty (1067), meburste (993), DeltaQueen50 (889), Jessaba (872), juglicerr (871), baileysgran (848), ReneeMarie (829), Macbeth (785), obsessedbybooks (673), sherton (669), tarpfarmer (604), rdg301library (564), nellista (563), Kasthu (542), ssa.books (519), bvwest (512), aussieavidreader (505), countrylife (497) ... and 14,137 other members

I'm finding all sorts today...

music history http://www.librarything.com/tag/music+history
Tag and its aliases used 4,546 times by 3 members.

And another
http://www.librarything.com/tag/cross+stitch
Tag and its aliases used 5,771 times by 1 member

Using the tag cross stitch
fdholt (651), athiker (290), veke123 (127), esther_a (115), bookcoll (103), dkhiggin (87), Truswell (83), amhv (77), Sovay (77), dmaness (76), MarthaJeanne (69), nouveaustar (61), CoffeeBob (60), lcovington1 (59), webecca (57), muumi (55), coddington (51), bouncingtigger13 (48), thornton37814 (45), DevonShea5 (43), readingrebecca (41) ... and 491 other members

This looks like it's almost better but this one is still wrong:

http://www.librarything.com/tag/Open+Water+Swimming

What is the deal here? Does this have to do with tags that are being combined / have just been combined?

Could it be that the counts are just for the specific tag? Using the DS9 example up there, if you click on one of the combined tags and separate it out, you do get different counts:

Star Trek Deep Space Nine

http://www.librarything.com/tag/Star+Trek+Deep+Space+Nine&norefer=1

Tag and its aliases used 120 times by 7 members.

Not disagreeing or agreeing that this is a bug. Just wanted to point out what I think is happening.

7> Not so sure about that, see this one here says 2 works / 2 member and there's only one member:

http://www.librarything.com/tag/%252FThailand+-+sculpture%252F

Actually I see 3 works / 2 member - but yeah, really just one member.

This one:
http://www.librarything.com/tag/Added+April+2010

Tag and its aliases used 520 times by 522 members
but:
Using the tag Added April 2010
KandABooks (520)

9> Yeah I see 3 / 2 so I must have had a typo in message 8.

I've seen a lot of bad tags but haven't really had the inclination to post them all here. I don't know how many examples are needed to fix this.

Might be a caching issue. I use the tag Hot Chicks and it appears not to be showing up:

http://www.librarything.com/tag/Hot+chicks

12> I don't have an example offhand but I found a bunch that were, for example, "used x times by 135 members" and the breakdown was 2 members, one used it 134 times and the other used it once. So I'm not sure how that would be a caching issue, more of a terrible math problem?

{Sort of in humour}Might be. They are in Maine afterall. I graduated from Oxford Hill High School up there which regularly won the state math leagues every year. Last I heard they were about to get taken over by the state.{/humour}

Found an example for lemon:

http://www.librarything.com/tag/FamilyRoomShelves

Tag and its aliases used 135 times by 135 members.

It's really used by one member. The count though is seeing them as separate members in this case.

Going back to my hot chicks example, I;m now showing up as using the tag, have a quantity count for using the tag but my books (Well DVDs) are not listed on that tag page. I don;t see them either when I pull up each individual tag in there either.

Edit: Never mind. Was thinking we were missing tags. Thinking something else

Bump

This bug is now fixed. The data is regenerating, so please wait an hour or so after this message to complain of any lingering problems.

I'm re-opening this because I'm still seeing problems everywhere.

http://www.librarything.com/tag/marathon
Tag and its aliases used 268 times by 1 member.
really used by many members.

http://www.librarything.com/tag/Olympics
Tag and its aliases used 1,230 times by 1 member.
also used by many members.

>19 lemontwist:
Those two examples are hereby confirmed.

See also:
http://www.librarything.com/tag/2010s
Tag and its aliases used 1,773 times by 1 member.

Tag in #21 confirmed. Also see

1001 books (Tag and its aliases used 19,440 times by 1 member)

class (Tag and its aliases used 9,953 times by 1 member)

Darfur (Tag and its aliases used 322 times by 1 member)

Pelican Shakespeare (Tag and its aliases used 99 times by 1 members.) Note also the switch to 1 members: I found a few that were use by multiple members, but with "members" still as "member"

Outlander (Tag and its aliases used 1,363 times by 1 member)

And probably many more if I really bothered to look.

All fixed. I found the problem. I was count()ing a count().

One! One Count. Mwaahaha!

Speaking of the Count, this video hits my funny bone. I have no excuse.

This bug should be closed, right?

I'll close it but it's always so much nicer when Tim sets it to fixed.
