Issue with the "self" (uncredited) function...

I've got this issue with this episode of "A History of Alternative Comedy": https://youtu.be/xv3F_qMXnVo?si=xJGIO49lQJ3lAaR2&t=172 Jennifer Saunders appears there, but isn't credited for the third episode as she doesn't say anything. But if I put her as anything other than "self" it will cause a clash with her other, credited, appearances, which are just as "self".

Hi MovieCat- In order for us to understand better, can you further explain what you mean with the 'clashing' issue? Cheers!

I just mean the main title page for that programme will read: Jennifer Saunders - Self/Self - Sitting There Doing Nothing. As opposed to: Jennifer Saunders - Self. (As a side note, it always interests me when I notice a "name" takes longer to be accepted, presumably as it's double checked for proof. Denis Leary took an extra day to be accepted for an episode, and Jennifer took two or three. It's amazing what "AbFab" did for Jennifer's profile.)

If there is no credit there is no on-screen description to add after "Self". But if you think a description is necessary I think you can add it regardless of how it is displayed in the series page.

"This credit has been rejected. You need to correct this credit before it will be accepted. You must provide a character name/description for uncredited cast members."

To have the same character description for all her episodes you could add a description to her other episode credits and use the same description for the uncredited appearance. I see that the guidelines have changed: Where it used to say that a description after Self should be included "where appropriate", it now says credits "must be added to the "Self" section, with a short description of the individual's role on the title ..."

Yeah, but then that will mess up the other speakers who are listed as "self". It's not a change for OCD, this system update.
