Bug Description
This is a feature request.
I realize that currently this could be added by adding a link the the author profile, but I thought I would request it anyhow.
Could we add a field in the Author edit page for an ID# specifically for VIAF (Virtual International Authority File: http://
I am sure there could be benefit in adding other ID#'s as well (goodreads is one other site that uses an ID based url for authors, I am sure there are others)

Agreed. We need a new field against authors to store identifiers from other systems, just like the one we have on Editions.
