Merge requests stuck in pending Hell...
I know for a fact that I submitted these merges WEEKS ago, and at least once... when I started to clean up the entry for chat show "Wogan", there were over 140 "unknown" episodes, and I created a spreadsheet to keep track of which ones I'd submitted.
There are still four, and all four have been submitted at least once: https://www.imdb.com/title/tt0083504/episodes?season=-1
None of them are difficult to verify, as all four are dated, and I've added the dates to every single episode of Wogan from BBC Genome.
Another issue with this show is that I got an episode deleted after much investigation and proof, etc. (An episode was cancelled at last minute due to the gulf war and the cited guests rearranged for later).
The episode was 11.9. Which now means I have to renumber 11.10 - 11.139 so they're all one number lower. Even as a complete nerd who's updating a chat show he doesn't even like that much, can I really justify submitting 129 renumber requests?

Hi MovieCat -
Regarding the four Unknown episodes, to clarify, are you trying to merge them into other existing numbered episodes, or are you just trying to add new order numbers for these unknown listings?
With regard to the renumbering of the Season 11 "Wogan" episodes 11.10 - 11.139, I have filed a ticket for our editorial team to make the ordering adjustment, they will take a look as soon as they can.
Cheers!

Just one to go!
I wish I'd been enough of a nerd to note how many there were at the start... ISTR it was at least 150.

It feels like the end of an era, as now ALL the "unknown" episodes of Wogan have been merged!!! Yay!!!
I'd never intended to do this. I'd never intended to add the dates to every episode. But I did that.
I'd never intended to add the guest list for all the episodes (over 1300 of them). But I'm in the middle of doing that.
This was a middle of the road chat show that even the host seemed to hate at times. It was a time-passer at best, with very rare exceptions. (A guest claiming to be the son of God was a highlight.)
Why am I doing this? God knows. I think I've lost the plot in lockdown.
