For work and series page links, two issues:
First a typo/improvement:
• The page lists items as "works page" links, seems to be a typo here for "work page" to match other terminology. You might want to also consider "nseries page" change to "series page" although as the URL for series pages actually is "nseries" that one would be more a preference on your side, if you want to keep that as is.
Then the main bug:
• For work and series page links it isn't properly linking to the relevant work page, or series page, it seems instead to be pulling an author page link from rows above them, or nothing when a work or series link is the newest link at the top of the page with no author links above them.
Below example of three consecutive entries copy/pasted from the page (with curly brackets substituted for square to avoid touchstoning in this post):
Brett-Woywood added the link Find a Grave on the author page Edward McNall Burns {https://www.findagrave.com/memorial/146725918/edward_mcnall-burns}
amanda4242 added the link Wikipedia on the works page Edward McNall Burns {https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Children_of_Memory_(novel)}
amanda4242 added the link Wikipedia on the works page Edward McNall Burns {https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Children_of_Ruin}
The first row is correct, an author page link.
The second row is incorrect, it should list "... on the work page Children of Memory" with Children of Memory hyperlinking to: https://www.librarything.com/work/28341866/ and then the visible external hyperlink is correct.
The third row is incorrect, it should list "... on the work page Children of Ruin" with Children of Ruin hyperlinking to: https://www.librarything.com/work/22555718/ and then the visible external hyperlink is correct.
Both the second and third row instead offer a link to Edward McNall Burns, from the row listed directly above them on the page.
The same can be seen repeated on the Links page wherever work and series links occur.
