[bug] URL - extra space appearing

In reference view, on title pages some links have an extra space after them.

e.g. https://www.imdb.com/title/tt26691991/reference

Facebook link has an extra space when moused-over: Facebook_     <== note extra space on end of "Facebook_"

This is not a data-entry issue, as the extra space was not introduced in error then. Hence bug fix needed.

@jimthing No sorry, as with your other request, under the terms under which reference view was created, we do not make changes to this view so there are no plans to address this.

What if it wasn't created correctly? Couldn't you order a re-issue?

@jeorj_euler​ If I understand Col correctly here, this is effectively a frozen legacy interface. 

AFAIUI, the combined view (now reference view) was set-in-stone at the time they moved to the newer page formats (or soon after). So they now don't make changes to it anymore, with interface teams spending time on the new stuff, and it now being dealt with as an unchangeable legacy option. 

Makes sense, I suppose, as time & resources are finite.

Based upon how nothing was done about the way that some or all cast attributes are spelled in camel case (i.e. camelCase), apparently it was set in stone, during the migration from the software platform from the generation before previous to the softare platform of the previous generation.

@jeorj_euler​ OK, well I was close enough, I guess. The outcome was the same anyway. Thanks for clarifying.

Well, I lean toward thinking that you were exactly right, jimthing. I was just contributing what I remember about the situation. Indeed "reference view" became what was previously known as "combined view", as far as title pages go, and nobody saw fit to provide the equivalent for name pages. I mean, we have the "fullcredits" thing now, in the latest layout, but those pages omit sampling of the mini bio, image gallery and video gallery corresponding to a performer profile.

@Col_Needham​ OK. Disappointing, but thanks again for advising Col.
