Description lɛʁi לערי ריינהארט 2012-05-16 01:04:16 UTC
Hi!

http://www.librarything.com/commonknowledge/search.php?exact=0&type=2&f=13&startNum=2250&stepNum=0001&q=-ZCZC+-LC+-PND+VIAF# (with the final / trailing "#")
will generate today also erroneous links as:

2251 - 2252 of 2361 results| previous 13 DNB BVB LT de en ru epo TS G GWP | next 13 DNB BVB LT de en ru epo TS G GWP

In order to avoid the generation of such links we should implement asap a minimal length for

a) GND / PND and require five significant characters. i. e. GND:123-4 is to "short" because the MINUS character should not be taken into account.

b) For VIAF we should require five digits as well.

Note: If the implementation is easier fixing bug 36882 immediately this is OK.

Kind regards Reinhardt

(mostly) fixed in v1.19. I hope that there are no negative side effects in the detection.
