I have been adding LinkLib links to librettists in Grieg's songs that don't already have links. I had done several, when I added this one:

http://imslp.org/wiki/To_Ole_Bull,_EG_1 ... g,_Edvard)

The librettist is JS Welhaven:

http://imslp.org/wiki/Category:Welhaven ... _Sebastian

It said Welhaven had 24 pages before I did the addition, and it still says 24 pages after I've done the link. I don't know if it has anything to do with the fact that on some pages, e.g. http://imslp.org/wiki/Album_for_Mandssa ... ,_Halfdan) it uses a LinkName for him instead of a LinkLib. In fact, this page is a mixture of the two.

What is the difference, and is this the problem?

That's the problem. LinkName merely transforms the name into a hyperlink to the person's category. LinkLib creates the hyperlink but also places the work page into that person's "As Librettist" tab on their category page.

Then is it best, every time I see a LinkName, to change it to LinkLib? (provided, of course, that it is a librettist )

Absolutely!
