You pasted the link, right? Not the .doc?

But where is the change?
To make the book details panel 'see' a change to a currently-displayed author, you must change from, then back to, the book. Simple as hitting up-arrow then down-arrow on the library view. I fixed this once, but the change was rejected

Author's name opens wikipedia page as before and I'm really very happy with it - some info is always 1 click away, I can be lazy making docs. I think it's either 1. or 2. choice.
If you prefer the wikipedia link, then don't add author links.

Very often author has pen-names, e. g. 'Lester del Rey' takes me to wikipedia and more extensive info, while 'Leonard Knapp 1915-1993' opens word doc where I can put small bio, series chronology etc.
On cases like that I like to see both names.
Sorry, I don't understand what you are saying here. Sounds like you want two author names to go to different places, which is how things work.

In the end, I am not selling anything. I just wanted to be sure you knew you could add a link to an author. Whatever is linked to will be available wherever that author appears, instead of having to add a comment to each book by that author. If you prefer the comment system, then go with it!
