Episode editing

deleted wrote 10 years ago: 1

I have been noticing on several occasions people adding a certain actor/actress as main cast and to add her as guest as well, so she is credited double, but please be careful adding them as you don't need to add her as guest, while playing as main

As well just don't mark all main cast to play in a certain episode as it happens quite often that a certain episode doesn't show all main cast

just be careful editing, cause I checck some series so now and then, but I guess it would be impossible for us all to change those edits all the time :)

Thanks for observing this!

It's a though one, because it can actually be a valid scenario: someone who starts off as guest star in a show and is promoted to main cast laster on, or the other way around. This means we can't outright block it. If it becomes a large(r) problem let me know though, and perhaps we can introduce some warnings and/or cleanup panels.

We can however prevent character from being added as both guest cast and cast appearance on the same episode - I don't think we currently do that yet. Will add that soon then, and also include instructions on the cast appearance edit page.

True, but those stars are always upgraded to main cast in the 2nd or following season. I've find several occasions they were added both in main and guests for example in 'Humans' and this series has just begun (4th episode aired yesterday) ;)
