The system automatically categorizes a series with a mix of novels, collections, anthologies, omnibuses, as a "Fiction Series". Yet an "Anthology Series" category exists and is useful for providing an author/editor distinction as well as content-type distinction. This is ignored when a series of anthologies has an omnibus version and makes it look like an author/editor wrote a series of books he edited. Perhaps the automation could be changed or, perhaps better, a field of manual assignment could be provided on the Edit Series form.

    Follow up to myself - naturally, an "anthology omnibus" category would be good, too, in addition to "omnibus", which has the same problem. E.g.,
