Why this doesn't work?
Here for example i want to change incorrect actors name to correct one
And there is an option to leave old name on existing credits or don't
But it doesn't work
Doesn't matter you check it or uncheck it, always old incorrect name stays on existing credits
And then you again need to go on actors filmography and change it one by one
Why then this option exist if it doesn't work?
I corrected literally hundreds of names and always had the same result, that old incorrect name stayed on existing credits
I tried both ways many times, same result everytime

Hello ugnieska,
Remember that we keep credits listed as they show originally in the on screen end credits. If there are existing credits which should be listed with the old name, they will remain listed as they are. I encourage you to take a look at our Names help article for more details.

That does never seem to work. For me, even if there is only one credit on the page being merged and I provide a screenshot and video link of the credit requesting that no attribute be created because the name page has spelling mistake or whatever, it still goes with the incorrect name carried over. Just one of those things, that requires extra work to clean up after the merge, been that way for years, it does make you question the point of the tickbox.
