Unable to credit with correct name

Sam Stevenson (XII) seems to usually be credited as Samuel Stevenson. I tried to amend one of his credits to reflect this but was told it was not an eligible attribute. Is this something new or a bug or something unique to him?

Hello michael_billinghurst,

Can you help me posting the 18-digits submission reference number? in order to take a look for you.

You can find the submission in your Contribution History page.

Well, like I said it wouldn't even let me submit it. But the reference number for my edit to the title is here.

The provided submission was already approved and is live in the site. Can you may be post a screenshot from the error and the moment that you have issues when submitting?

@michael_billinghurst​ Hi! In this case the page owner has locked that name from showing on their page, you can see more information on this thread. You can add the attribute (as a different name) if the person was credited on-screen that way.

Cheers!

Nowhere in the guidelines does it say that we should add the text "as a different name". If that is the intention, it ought to be mentioned in the attribute guidelines. It could also be mentioned in the error message that Michael cites.

IMDb Pro users are able to manage the display for their names. The information can be checked in our Manage the display of your alternate name(s) help article.

Yes, there are guidelines for users to control their own names, but none for the other contributors who submit credits. This is unlike the other two areas covered in the post @Bethanny linked, where these help pages were created.
