Allow correcting covers as part of wrong information form
O

The "report missing information" form does not allow to upload any images if a cover already exists, so there's no easy way to transfer the correct cover to the volunteer librarians.
As a workaround, sending a link seems to work, but it requires uploading the image somewhere first if it can't already be found online. (This may be a bigger issue for non-English books, since alternative language editions seem to often end up with very random assignments, sometimes not even corresponding to the right book.)

This is likely because librarians are required to do their own research before making changes, so we’d come across the correct image when doing that research anyway. It may be nice to see the ‘suggested cover’ though to make it easier to understand what the user thinks the correct cover is, so we can close out tickets faster. For example, if the user is mistaken and they want an edition with an alternate cover, it would be easier to know what cover they want so that we can create an alternate edition with that cover and respond to the ticket in the best way for the user.
