This is an overview about individual tests without superfluous / unwanted posts.

The author candidate has
a long name, one author and one work only: /search.php?search=Moisej+Solomonovic+Belenkij&searchtype=work.
The author url is there for a while (and detected by LT all (?) search methods. It contains only a..z characters and is not of the "van, von, de, etc." (where national versions might use different canonical names) sort.

a) /topic/134597 "testing Touchstones - Moisej Solomonovic Belenkij in talk message" - 2012-03-22: test passed
b) /topic/134598 "testing Touchstones - Belenkij, Moisej Solomonovic in talk message" - 2012-03-22: test passed
c) /topic/134600 "testing Touchstones - Moisej Solomonovic Belenkij in About container" - 2012-03-22: test failed
d) /topic/134601 "testing Touchstones - Belenkij, Moisej Solomonovic in About container" - 2012-03-22: test failed

relates to /search.php?search=Maul, Stefan&searchtype=work
copied and pasted from /topic/134426#3303782

e) /topic/134606 "testing Touchstones - Maul, Stefan and Maul, Stefan M. in talk message"- 2012-03-22: test failed
f) /topic/134608 "testing Touchstones - Maul, Stefan in talk message"- 2012-03-22: test passed
g) /topic/134558#otherauthors_container "Avertoj kaj indikoj pri alilingvaj LT diskutoj aux / kaj cimoj"- 2012-03-22: test passed

notes:
1) one needs to remember that only a few LT functions work with real time datas (as catalog, author and work combinations, talks, private messages, CK)
2) other pages as /search.php?search=Maul, Stefan&searchtype=authorname are only partly real time: the combination indication is up to date, the listed author urls and names are from an older dump
3) it takes some time for many informatin to be handeled by the LT functionality (explained later)
4) "Touchstones" generation is using fuzzy algorithms. This means that if author urls are very close then weight via works and copies will influence the "automatic" LT decision process (please remember the "(others)" option.)

g) is fine today because "[[Maul, Stefan]]" was added recently and is available now to the relevant LT functions
f) is the "extendend Touchstones syntax" which can be used at any time for non empty LT pages

notes:
5) The "(others)" option Alternate touchstones: "Maul, Stefan M" will list only works for "Maul, Stefan M." but not for "Maul, Stefan". Maybe some code used in relation with the "About container" can be used: RSI allow both author and work selection at the "(others)" option.
