You have nn book and mm work by (author) missing / discrepancy

Hi! This migth be a duplicate! (I remember that I commented it at another place).
After rightinng the bug reports
missing link nams in Male or Female statistic
Unable to Recalculate author name

I noticed in my Male or Female? statistic an empty link to Tatjana Lungina.

After some weeks of training the workaround procedure was clear to me:
a) manually generate /catalog &author=lunginatatjana
b) identify the proper / common author spelling via worldcat.org/identities/find?fullName=Lungina; add "Worldcat author listing" and "VIAF id" links
c) set gender and canonical name at blank author page for "lunginatatjana"
d) add "Lungina, Tatjana" and "Messing, Wolf" in the "Other authors" section at Wolf Messing : the true story of Russia's greatest psychic

Now I can see "You have 1 book and 1 work by Tatiana Lungin." as it should by default.

Problem description: While setting gender on links from my Male or Female statistic during the past I encountered dozens of author links
i) without "You have nn book and mm work by (author)" links
ii) with "You have nn book and mm work by (author)" links having counter wh did not match the number of book in the catalog links
iii) (urls) using the htm-entity format but books where at catalog links for the corresponding / simplified urls (300 of them are now listed at commonknowledge/search workaround)

Proposed solutions to i) and ii): The counter displayed actually in "You have nn book and mm work by (author)" is based on a query considering the LT arbitration algorithm for the a attribution of works to authors. It makes sense to query the catalog for the actual author url.

Proposed solutions to iii): If the url was using the htm-entity format a link to the corresponding / simplified url (with a helpfull text) should be avilable. Last but not least it should be possible to combine these parallel urls (see Some authors can't be combined: This author is no longer in the system).

Help link to the book related to the initial problem here: /work/3093115/details/70405157

/topic/23068#2818779 is the continuation of fixing the empty url (by combining it with another one and moving Common Knowledge from the second level author url to the top level author url)

Can you but this up in shorter, simpler format?

Some links on Male or Female? led to author pages that either didn't have the You have xx books and yy works by... link or had it but it didn't match what was in the catalog (what was found by clicking that link).

Some of the MorF? links led to a different author than the one that the books in his catalog were attached to (probably URLs with accents ignored, since he says 'simplified').

I've been working on my 'male or female' and 'dead or alive' recently, and there are now and again cases where I have to check in my catalogue to figure out why I was sent to an author without any checkmarks. While I understand that this can be disconcerting (it certainly upset me the first time or two), I have learned to take it as a valuable tool to show me things that need cleaning up.

I have found several instances of authors that needed combining or splitting and aliasing. I have also found many works that needed work. Sometimes my book was the problem, entered through Amazon early on. Other times it needed combining with a work that was mostly Amazon, and mine wasn't.

I would much rather have people create bugs that say 'My list says I have books by so and so, but that page doesn't have any of my books on it.' That way combiners can jump in and find the data problems. I think the system is working right, and any way of making these disappear would be wallpapering over problems that only people can solve.
