Near total purge of YA lists

It should not be possible for one regular librarian to delete a complete list all on their own, when we can only add 100 books per person per list.

I saw a suggestion elsewhere to make it so that only supers can delete books with more than 5 votes, analogous to merging books with more than 5 shelvings.

I didn't think of that, but it would be less time consuming than trying to check each one. Or you can just vote for whatever strikes your fancy. At this point, we just need voters.

I don't want to vote for titles already on the list, I only want to add titles (which I know means I vote for them).

Makes sense! I guess the only way to be sure is to check each one prior to adding. You can also just add them and then if you see someone else has already voted for it, simply delete your vote.

YA Novels of 2019"

I updated the 2019 link in other YA lists (2010-15, 19, 21) to point to this url

Thanks, Michael! It's great to see everyone coming together to help out.
