Invisible classic recommendation that redirects to wrong work…

I have a classic recommendation in my cover view that disappears when in list view. The cover view link is to https://www.librarything.com/work/32917990 however the link is redirected to https://www.librarything.com/work/1477 which is an unrelated work. I’m not sure how to address.

There had been some heavy combining around Animal Farm in the last days so there are caches involved most likely. Give it a few days/a week and see if it clears after that.

Good to know, thanks. Is that Animal Farm combining an example of what I’ve seen referred to as a blackhole work?

No - just garden variety miscombining. :) It happens now and again due to how the algorithm needs some ambiguity to work in most cases and sometimes it can get worse while being fixed for a bit or someone manages to make a weird mistake (a huge chunks of editions were pulled out and then left on their own - which is why I know there was something happening with this one - it went through the usual channels for help once it happened).

The black hole work is a totally different kettle of fish - it just eats random books until we rescue them.

Thank you for the detailed explanation - there’s always so much to learn! :)

Anytime :)

Closing as not a bug.
