Keep track of "Unordered authors" errors #128

Closed Daniel-Mietchen closed 4 years ago

so as to allow for dedicated curation, as we currently do not have good mechanisms for exposing such problems.

For instance, https://tools.wmflabs.org/author-disambiguator/batches_oauth.php?id=e611dd initially gave that error for https://www.wikidata.org/wiki/Q27824784 , and upon checking at the source, I noticed that other authors are missing too.

Another example that I found via such an error is https://tools.wmflabs.org/author-disambiguator/work_item_oauth.php?id=Q27931123 .

Here, I tried to set the author numbers, but that did not work.

Also, the stats are wrong in this case.

In general I'm not handling authors with missing "series ordinal" qualifiers well, there's another issue open related to this. However, you can set the values here if you check the "renumber authors" box at the top and hit the "Get author links for work" button again.

Interesting. I had tried the "Renumber authors?" box before but did not think of re-running the "Get author links for work" routine. Makes sense, though — thanks!

Further work on unordered authors will be done on #110 - closing this one.
