Title confusion because of year
I just finished adding a new title "Wreck (2020)" which then told me that it would be given the roman numeral (I) afterwards so that it wasn't confused with the other 2020 film of the same name. Unfortunately, after submitting it turns out it just added all of my credit information to that other film! Any suggestions on how to get that fixed? And more importantly prevent it from causing the same problem again if I were to resubmit, as it happened automatically without me changing anything. Thanks!

I see what you mean.
I'd suggest you post the 18-digit contribution number here, and see if a staffer can sort it out.
If you don't have it handy, you can find it here:
https://contribute.imdb.com/contributions/history
As for avoiding this in future...
Somewhere along the line, I believe you answered a question incorrectly.
Since there was already a title of the same name and year, your _new_ title should have received Roman numeral (II), not (I).
On the Add New Title form
https://contribute.imdb.com/updates?update=title
it asks for various info, then gives you a list of possible existing titles, _with links_.
So if I try to add a new Wreck now, it comes up with
(which is where your credits have gone).
It also gives the option
which is what you should have checked.
I don't I've ever added a same_title, same_year entry, so I can't speak to where else in the process you may have gone wrong, or whether there's a genuine bug there. Maybe I'll try to get further in the process to see.
But right now, you should just post the contribution number and wait for a staffer to advise your next step. They may be able to undo the problem, and even get your new title added. Or they'll state what you should do next.

Hi jeanpaulderoover -
I reviewed the initial submission and can see that instead of requesting a new title submission, the update was requested to add the data to the existing title page for "Wreck (2020)".
Please submit a new title page for your title, you can find details on how to do so on the following guide: https://help.imdb.com/article/contribution/titles/adding-a-new-title/GNXTSSVTJTFCRZGN?ref_=helpsrall#, once the new title has been approved, please let us know here and a staff member can then move the data listed on the wrong title page to the correct new title page.
Cheers!

Michelle, I think a bug may have facilitated this error. Jean Paul said he tried to submit a new title, but also saved and re-loaded it along the way. When I try the same thing, I get the following message. The claim that I have already submitted the title is obviously wrong. (saved update 210201-185451-540200)
