Auto-Standardization Error: Norwegian Census of 1891

Example: https://www.familysearch.org/ark:/61903/1:1:DJG3-SSMM

Event Place (Original): Tysnæs

This was indexed very incompletely, giving just the municipality but no other information. As far as I am familiar with there is only one Tysnæs municipality in Norway and it is the one in Hordaland. Also, I do know from working with this family that this entry is for that Tysnes.

Event Place: Tysnes Kyrkje, Tysnes, Hordaland, Norway

The auto-standardization almost got this right, but instead of just Tysnes, Hordaland, Norway, which would have been correct, it tacked on Tysnes Church to the front of the place name leading to this error and the strange picture of this entire 98 square mile community being squeezed into one small church.
