Why does Robert Minkoff's filmography consist of playing the same uncredited character of Bit in everything?
IMDb's guidelines clearly state:
Valid Attributes
(uncredited) - No on-screen credit. For acting credits, this must include a character name or some kind of description
And yet Robert Minkoff has dozens and dozens of credits that all read "Bit (uncredited)".
https://www.imdb.com/name/nm3211002/
Why does IMDb create and then ignore their own guidelines? Years go by and IMDb refuses to correct or clarify their policy regarding uncredited actors.
Any chance 2021 is the year IMDb does something about it?

Why? Because whenever a policy change is enacted, often the existing data that pertains to the new policy is left unaffected. Given sufficient understanding of the way IMDb works, it is not so hard to figure out the reasons for certain kinds of discrepancies.

On a side note, I'm disappointed by how often the IMDb company declines to provide reasons for anything pertaining to the IMDb website. A lot of times, it is not necessarily that hard to provide an explanation. Now, if only we could be provided an analysis as to why the approved new genres cannot be implemented, that would be great and reasonable.
