Type: Bug
Something isn't working. [managed]
The UI permits author link corrections on work records only. Correcting those links fails to correct the corresponding link on editions, so those editions remain nonsensically linked to the wrong author record and appear as such in solr indexing. This makes author disambiguation fruitless.

leaves https://openlibrary.org/works/OL24560932W.json
and https://openlibrary.org/books/OL13377550M.json
with different author linkages when they should agree.
