Possible bug when adding certain names
posted by linekerSTAFFMOD on May 19, 2013 at 6:28 AM
I was trying to add director Alexandra-Therese Keining (562589) for a new entry (194545) and as usual I copied the full name. However, I did not get any suggestions. Then I tried some different things. It was the first choice when adding "Alexandra-" and the same for "Alexandra-Theres". But when copying "Alexandra-Therese" - with the e at the end - I again got no suggestions. Strange.

Hi, I'm not sure if I'm having the same problem, but it seems so. I think I may have accidentally created a double of Christopher Monger. I couldn't seem to find him when creating a page for his film Repeater ( http://www.themoviedb.org/movie/256819/ ). Searching by people I can't find him either, only by searching for one of his other films (Voice Over) can I locate him. This is the original page for him ( http://www.themoviedb.org/person/65859-christopher-monger ) and this is the double I accidentally created ( http://www.themoviedb.org/person/1295777-christopher-monger ). If anyone could help removing the double and adding the original to the Repeater film profile I'd be very appreciative.

Hi, BAKA. No, your issue was a different one. One of his credits - Just Like a Woman - was incorrectly set to adult:true. I fixed that, but the profile still shows up as an adult profile. In order to see adult profiles you need to change your account settings. I also moved the credits you added to that profile.
Maybe you can take a look at this one Travis? Is it a cache issue preventing me from seeing the adult status change or is it something else?

He's now correctly marked as a non-adult person.

Travis, a similar issue here.
Also, searching for Misa Uehara brings upp nothing, but the two Misa Uehara profiles show up when searching for only Misa. So it must be the 'ue' that is the problem.

Hey Joe, weird that the 'ae' and 'ue' issue is back. I'll have to take a look.
Thanks.

By the way, the fix for this should be live.
