..especially if you have a bit of trouble with them, please check the last pages of Book Awards on the final pages of the most books view (or the first pages of least books view) & just make sure you haven't left a malformed awards with 0 likes.

At the moment page 245 https://www.goodreads.com/award?page=... (scroll down) & page 246 https://www.goodreads.com/award?page=...
even though I deleted about half a page of them last week.

All you have to do is click on one, click on edit, then click on delete this award (you may have to scroll down a little to see this)

Thanks.

No awards left with 0 books

It looks like the "Nominated" award was deleted. There was a description for that "award" from GR staff. If anyone has that language, it should be re-created.

Unfortunately that happened about two weeks ago.

Thanks for getting rid of the 0 awards, Lieke. :)

I just did another 10 or so.

The way awards get 0 entries is deleting the award from the book. It is better to reformat the mal-formed award to match the existing award and merge. When it is done that way, it doesn't leave an empty award to be deleted.

There used to be Winner as well. That disappeared years ago.

But with a GR staff description? Only "Nominated" with zero entries had a GR description as far as I know. And we were told not to delete it.

Definitely used to be Winner. Was deleted shortly after it went up. Same wording as the Nominated. I assumed both were created by Staff.

OK! I missed that from the very beginning.

I have to contact Support about another matter. I'll request that they both be re-added. 😊

Thank you!
