Trying to change "Annie Proulx" to "E. Annie Proulx" (to match how the rest of her work is attributed), but (a) I can't see how to edit any but the primary author (b) I can't add the new name and delete the old because it won't let me add more than 50.

Empress (the_empress) Only 50 names are allowed. You have to delete it first and then add it. It might be easier to just edit the author's profile if it is appropriate. I think someone got it though

Empress (the_empress) Oh, I see what is the problem. I don't know why it happens. Next time delete the name, save the changes and go to edit again and it will allow you to add the 50th name.

If the authors are more then 50 you can always continue in the description field with optional links to the profiles. They really should increase the number of names allowed.

Heather | 44 comments There are more than 50 already. If I delete anything, I cannot put it back.

However, as you say, someone fixed it.

Empress (the_empress) I fixed it. That is what I am saying you have to delete one then save the edit and then go back to the edit then it will allow you to add the 50th. I don't know why is that but it worked.
