Brad Audiobibliophile (trollslayer1) | 11917 comments How do I find how many spaces in an author's name if they don't yet have any books on GR?
If they have books here I can see the spaces on the edit book screen or the edit profile screen but if they don't have a book here yet?

eg https://www.goodreads.com/user/show/1....

How many spaces and how do I find out for future situations

Martin | 37706 comments If they don't yet have a book they won't yet have an author profile so will not have any spaces.
If you are adding a new author to the database and want to find out how many spaces you should use you can go to an author pages with same name (not a claimed profile though), click 'edit data', then 'similar names', and look to see what has already been used.
