IMDB PROFILE EDITING AND CREDITING YOURSELF IS CONFUSING!! HELP

okay so I have new account on imdb I need to add my name to credits to films and series etc.

it seems imdb has changed? so instead of having my name on my profile there is userID? i can no longer get rid of userID and add my name or if someone knows how to do this please let me know.

https://help.imdb.com/article/contribution/filmography-credits/adding-filmography-credits/GAB5B33MBLEG73CT?ref_=helpsrall# 

I've read the IMDB help guide in adding your name to credits, unfortunately different people with name comes up. None aren't linked to my account so in the guide it tells you to add unique identifier such as: nm0000129  however mine comes out as ur0000129???

can someone please explain these to me? and help with replacing userID with my actual real name

If there is not already a page with your credits, you can create a new name while adding a credit as explained on the page you referenced.

Hello ReetuA,

As Peter_pbn mentioned, you need to link your user account with your name page account in order to link them together, to answer your question, yes, both of the accounts will be linked together after you claim the name page. 

I encourage you to check our Claim your page help guide, and more information and details can be found at

If anything else, we are glad to help!

@Fran​ 

rather confusing has IMDB changed in the last year?

because previously i did not have to join IMDBPro, all I did was create a new name for myself in credits and it would automatically be linked to my account.

Nothing has changed. You don't have to claim a page. If you have already added credits in the past, you can simply add additional credits to the same name.
