stats/events improvement

For the stats/events page (e.g. https://www.librarything.com/profile/ddrucker/stats/events ), it would be really nice if you could show "only events that appear in more than one book".

Another idea would be to be able to hide a particular book (like the Bible) which overwhelms everything else.

Yeah. Almost makes you want to take the Bible out of your catalog, doesn't it?

Yes, it would be nice to get some filter(s) there. Same for characters, by the way. Some people will list anybody merely mentioned in passing too.

Also (pet peeve), middle ages, bronze age, etc. are epochs - not events.

>2 paradoxosalpha: Oh dog yes, and I have multiple translations (that shouldn't be combined) - it's driving me to despair

I think this would be a nice feature.

>2 paradoxosalpha:

It does lead to some pretty hilarious juxtapositions like

Garden of Gethsemane - Holy Bible
Godlessness in the Last Days - Holy Bible
Golden Calf - Holy Bible
The gorilla steals Joe's keys and lets the zoo animals out of their cages - Good Night Gorilla

>1 ddrucker: That would be useful. It could work like the stat that can be used to view books that only you have, or one other member, two other members, etc.

Or by collection? I already do that for recommendations, have a specific collection to use for recommendations that doesn't have the books I didn't like in it, and also avoids titles with many derivative works I'm not interested in. Would work well for events too, you could just not include the bible etc
