What?

In my tests, I see the work title just fine. For example, the Children of Dune About on this one (note to Tim: when you expand the About feature to actually show up on Work pages, please exclude Bug Collectors!).
So I'm not sure what the problem is, either.

It's not so much that About should exclude Bug Collectors, as that for some reason gangleri insists on adding touchstones only via the "About" box rather than via the usual syntax. He does that everywhere, from what I can understand, so that's not going to solve the problem.
Edited to add: That's not to say there's a good reason to include Bug Collectors, just that I don't think it's a general problem so much as a personal idiosyncracy of one person.

Note: This bug can not reproduced with authors including multiple combined author urls. Especially not if the (lowercase) url SmithJohn is combined with JonSmith. Not sure why it was required to select test authors having just one work and just one title in the database. It happened that during the tests the LT system was "learning" and remembering what authors I already added at other threads. I spend a lot of time tu duplicate the behaviour.

Gangleri. The problem is merely presentation and language. I'm sorry about that, but I really don't get what you're saying sometimes. I need it said another way, preferably slowly, carefully and with only the details necessary. I regret picking on you about this, but I really can't follow you sometimes.
