Where to submit errors in credit lists?

The submission guidelines for Goofs has the following:

“B. Unacceptable Goofs
...
“Character names: Credits with character names not actually used in the film are not goofs.”

And the guidelines for Crazy Credits says:
...
“This is not the place to record errors in the credits...”.

Should such items go to Trivia? The Trivia guidelines are silent on this specific topic. If this is the case, the Goofs and Crazy Credits guides should be amended.

That explains why my comment was rejected - much more clearly than “does not meet guidelines” - but, as you say, doesn’t offer a way forwards.

I thought it was a continuity error - a name change in the script not reflected in the credits - but I suppose Trivia is the only place left.

Hi @david_glagovsky -

Currently the correct placement is within the Trivia section.  So if the discrepancy is between credited character names (eg. someone is called "Tom" in the film but credited as playing "Tim" in the end credits), this would qualify as a Trivia mention.

I hope this helps!

"Credits with character names not actually used in the film are not goofs"

is not the same as saying that it is never a goof if a credited character name contradicts the content of the film.

I would agree with @Mvybuf's interpretation here:

Hello All,

As Michelle mentioned, at this moment, this kind of discrepancies can be listed as a Trivia. As of right now, it can not be submitted to goofs as per our Goof guidelines.
