Solved

#231015-163244-490000

Hello

I am hoping that someone from IMDB can help me with the above entry. It's well over two years old but I have only just spotted the problem. On the surface, everything looks fine and dandy. The contribution was approved and actioned - 25 names had their order number changed to match the on-screen listing. However, there is a major glitch - all of the character names have been reduced to one word - "Stuart", "Rose", "Mair" etc. Not sure how this has happened - it's very strange.

The point is, is there a simple fix to re-instate the full character names or shall I have to go through them all and change them manually?

Best wishes

Hi @keith_chanter,

If you loaded the old contribution by means of the Update History (https://contribute.imdb.com/updates/history/), then that can show the current state of the title page rather than the one submitted in 2023.

It works not always to solve the questionable problem, but you can try to load the same contribution in the Contribution History Beta:
https://contribute.imdb.com/contribution/231015-163244-490000
But a better (more precise) way is to see in your e-mail box (if not deleted) the notification about the update receipt #231015-163244-490000.

However, it looks like in 2023 you submitted the character names using their full variants, while they are listed in short forms on screen, and other contributors might edit according to the on-screen form. If this is the situation, then please note:

Wherever possible, we list character names as they appear in on-screen credits. We make occasional exceptions when character names are not listed on-screen or when the character descriptions in the end titles include spoilers, but as a rule we try to stick to credits as closely as possible.
