Odd Looking changes to awards and Honors

For the past few days the Awards and Honors field has changed in regard to the date and layout.

For the Book

Phosphorescence
by Julia Baird

Awards and honors
The Indie Book Award Longlist ( 2021)
Australian Book Industry Awards ( 2021)
If you go to the Indie awards page all the 2021 entries appear on top like this. 2021 should be at the bottom

The Coconut Children by Vivian Pham square brackets 2021 square brackets
The Dictionary of Lost Words by Pip Williams square brackets 2021 square brackets
The Grandest Bookshop in the World by Amelia Mellor square brackets 2021 square brackets
The Happiest Man on Earth: The Beautiful Life of an Auschwitz Survivor by Eddie Jaku square brackets 2021 square brackets
The Left-Handed Booksellers of London by Garth Nix square brackets 2021 square brackets
A Lonely Girl is a Dangerous Thing by Jessie Tu square brackets 2021 square brackets
The Morbids by Ewa Ramsey square brackets 2021 square brackets
Phosphorescence by Julia Baird square brackets 2021 square brackets

(if I leave the square brackets on this post it does touchstones)
A Room Made of Leaves by Kate Grenville 2021

The Australian Book Industry Awards
Look like this Phosphorescence by Julia Baird Book of the Year ∙ 2021

Although I entered it Australian Book Industry Awards (Book of the Year, 2021)
The "strange" ∙, not a full stop, now appears instead of a comma

So what I am saying is that We now seem to have all the awards looking ( yyyy) instead of (sub category, yyyy).

The Subcategory has disappeared.

Unfortunately this is not very easy to explain... but what I am saying is the square brackets have now appeared all over the awards field resulting in touchstones.

This is all using firefox

>1 bergs47: Something horrible has happened to all your touchstones, probably through copying in "decimal dot, space, open square bracket, date, close square bracket". I suspect it is the same bug reported and bumped over the years for author CK, where bracketed content with pipes or commas is turned to dots, and dotted content is deleted down to the bare date.

This has started happening to other work CK fields as well. For example, The book-collector's quarterly, no. XVI, Oct.-Dec. 1934, people/characters includes "Honoré Daumier (Paris exhibition ∙ 1934)", where it used to be seperated by a comma.

Unfortunately, I've also started seeing people, places and events CK with just a date nested inside square brackets inside round brackets. So the same degredation of author CK is now started on work CK.

Tim and the LT team, please copy.
