What else

+ change tag system later

Thanks for replying. Each book has links to the author(s) in the first paragraph. If I could take the intersection of the backlinks for the current author "%%title_here%%" and any other author "%%title%%", then I could do something like…?

[[module ListPages category="author" separate="no" PrependLine="|| Coauthor || Book(s) ||"]]
[[if_backlinks_intersect category="book" %%title%% %%title_here%%]]
|| %%title%% || %%backlinks_intersection%% ||
[[/if_backlinks_intersect]]
[[/module]]

where %%backlinks_intersection%% is some space-separated list of books that link to both authors. And hopefully that would look something like the WantedPages (which is why I posted here initially).

Well, if you were to tag each book with the author's name (no spaces), then ensure that each page in the author category was named identically to the tags, you could do something like this on the book pages instead of having to manually add names to the first paragraph:

%%tags_linked|author:%%
That would mean that by clicking on any of the author's names, the user will be taken to that author's page.

Then, on the author's page you can simply do this:

[[module ListPages category="book" tags="%%page_unix_name%%" separate="no" prependLine="||~ Book ||~ Author(s) ||" ]]
|| %%title_linked%% || %%tags%% ||
[[/module]]

Therefore, backlinks aren't even needed! :)
