Was Feature:90082e ISFDB on the ISFDB wiki. Consider an issue of Dynamic Science Stories. It contains a serial that was later (1966) reprinted in book form. The entry reads:

12 • The Lord of Tranerica (Complete Novel) • (1939) • serial by Stanton A. Coblentz (aka Lord of Tranerica) [as by Stanton A. Coblentz ]

The display logic correctly finds the "aka" data, but also adds the unnecessary "as by" data. Ahasuerus 19:43, 23 Dec 2006 (CST)

Yeah. I've spruced up the part that notes a title difference (hence the aka clause), but noticing an author difference is non-trivial. Okay, it's trivial for works by one author, but gets complicated for works with two or more authors, considering order (none guaranteed) and at least one of the authors may be a pseudonym. And since it's merely annoying... Alvonruff 20:20, 25 Dec 2006 (CST)

Well, the change is clearly a net plus, so I guess we can just call it a "low priority display issue" and move to the end of the queue. I hesitate to close it because it's something that out users may inquire about and it's probably better to have it here where it can be found than buried in the archives.

    We will need to re-evaluate this FR after 2811692 is implemented, but keep in mind that the Publication screen has the same issue.

    Still an issue after implementing Feature 2811692.
