Description

Description

Looking for the right name for the publisher of a book I added, I found that there were already a few with slightly different names:

  • Editions 10/18 548 books
  • 10-18 177 books
  • 10/18 85 books
  • Éditions 10/18 21 books

When clicking on "10-18" you can see the page of the publisher, but clicking on any other (say "10/18") the "/" in the name is kept as is in the URL, making it a sub-directory of a nonexistent publisher.

Evidence / Screenshot (if possible)

Relevant url?

https://openlibrary.org/search/publishers?q=10%2F18&search=&m=edit&has_fulltext=true

https://openlibrary.org/publishers/10/18 compared to https://openlibrary.org/publishers/10-18

Expectation

I expected to see the publisher info when clicking on the link.

Details

  • Logged in (Y/N)?
  • Browser type/version?
  • Operating system?

Proposal & Constraints

Maybe escape the "/" in the URL somehow?

Stakeholders

Thanks!
