      So, I was adding *yet* another Jurassic Park adaptation, this time an edition of Heinemann Elt Learners Guide.
      It's my opinion that this (strongly simplified, "retold") version does not not belong in the same Edition Group with the original Novel (it will have a new work too after all.)
      However since the name is identical, it was automatically put into the same Edition Group: https://beta.bookbrainz.org/edition-group/6eb374d9-f73c-4aac-bdf1-604e1b0b0816

      I didn't want that so I "cheated" by changing the name a little to get it to trigger (automatic creating of new ED group.) this did trigger the "A new Edition Group with the same name will be created automatically. Click here to search for an existing one instead" to show.

      However the previous EditionGroup (auto-selected without input from me) was retained: https://beta.bookbrainz.org/revision/27060

      There are also many, many many, things that conceivably have the same name innocently - How about Dictionaries, once word titled poem collections, other languages, etc etc.

      I can pretty much Guarantee that this approach will make it so that "common" titled edition groups will be filled with unrelated editions this way.
