American Association f...

There was a combination issues flag for this disambiguation page:
https://www.librarything.com/author/americanassociationf
which I edited in what I assumed would be the correct way, as it appeared to be simply a duplication of the text in the disambiguation field, however, the page is now titled as one of the splits rather than as it originally was, "American Association f...".

I can't rectify that, and would be grateful if somebody who knows what they are doing could do so.

>1 Michael.Rimmer: Do you remember what exactly did you edit?

Ah, I saw it - you deleted the canonical name. Which is why it behaves the way it does now - with author names that are too long, you need a canonical name for the disambiguated page - or one of the long names inside will win.

Fixed. I also edited the disambig note to explain why we have a warning and to tell people to leave the warning alone.

Similarly to the "American Association for ..." example above, it would be nice to have all the authors under thebritishassociatio to be "The British Association ..." but it keeps defaulting to The British Association of Dramatherapists. Is there a way to make it use the truncated name?
