Many authors come out like this, as well as various series names.

My save to disk template is thus:
{author}/{series}/{title}/{series}{series_index:0>2s| – | – }{title} - {authors}

Am I doing something wrong here?
Personally, I would drop the leading Authors (for Series).
A number of Series I read are shared between different Authors or co-authors.
Back when I had a simple device that used only file names, I created a psudoSeries (00NoSeries to alpha-sort at the top) for those that did not belong in a series
series_index:0>5.2f allows for fractional series
