Do you lose contributor points? I suggested Marker. It got approved and added. Then I added the picture and synopsis. And I had like 15 points or something. But now it says zero again..?

As tnt said, no, you don't lose contributor points.

What you're probably looking at is the value on the hover of your avatar.

That displays your daily acquired points, which will reset each day.

Lincoln Loud in The Loud House hasn't had the actor updated with the two most recent actors... how exactly is the procedure to add a new person onto this same character? Wanting to add Tex Hammond on, but not sure how.

And would that be correct the way it is right now with Grant Palmer and Collin Dean- with Palmer listed as main and Dean listed as guest? Or do they somehow both get added on as main cast (Because the character itself is/has been the main character of the entire series)?

And if the guest cast option is correct, then I'm sure an episode would be needed to add him on to- so while I'm not sure if it's his earliest episode voicing him, Tex definitely voiced Lincoln for "Friended! with the Casagrandes".

Ah!! Thank you. Is there a spot where you can see your accumulated?

If the actor playing/voicing the character is in the main cast, you add him to the main cast, if the actor playing/voicing is listed as guest cast , you list him as guest :)

But I'm not sure how to go about it with an actor already on the character- the character in question is 100% main character the whole series. But:

A. No clue how I would go about changing Collin Dean's listings to main

B. No clue how to add another actor for that character as main

 

There's also this from the data policies:

An actor is starring as a common character in the show. Halfway through the show, the actor portraying the Character is replaced by a different actor. The actor switch is not incorporated in the Show's plot line and interactions with this Character are as if nothing happened. In this case, a single Character entry should be created with multiple actors pointing towards it.

So obviously something in the website itself or the data policies needs to be updated, since it seems like two actors are not able to be added as main cast for the same character. Also seems like shows like Boy Meets World is doing it incorrectly, with Morgan Matthews listed twice for two different actors. This character on Game of Thrones is done incorrectly as well- and I'm sure there's dozens of shows listed here doing it incorrectly as well.

Why can't you add two actors to one character? 

Maybe I simply do not understand the problem here :)

I think Magitroopa may be confused with the "the actor switch is not incorporated in the Show's plot line and interactions with this Character are as if nothing happened" part, which seems redundant... because even if somebody's like "hey, you look different" it's still the same character, right? I don't see a way how they'd be different characters, unless it's something like what happened with the body swap stuff on The 100 last season where they were adding numbers to the name each time they swapped (ie Simone Lightbourne and Simone Lightbourne VII) or shows where they have alternate universe versions like the Arrowverse.

You just go to cast and add it, when you select the actor and move to the character box, start typing and it'll show up and you just pick the existing character. If they're added as guest cast, that's wrong, so you'd have to ask for it to be deleted and then you can do cast appearance

Alright, I see now. Only added him on to the episode I previously mentioned, but I'll go through the different credits at some point and check each one is correct.

Still need the 'guest cast' listings for Collin Dean here deleted so that he can be readded as main cast, so if someone could do that, it would definitely be appreciated.

Would also like this character and the two episodes the character is listed on deleted, as I'm pretty sure it's two different characters in one character- I'll definitely check it out soon though.

Guest cast listings are deleted, about the second thing please let me know when you checked it out :)

Alright- just took a look:

1. The guest cast listing for this character on "Insta-Gran" can definitely 100% be deleted

2. Not sure about the one for "White Hare"... basically in the episode, Lincoln goes in a forest and gets hit in the head- and I guess basically has a whole hallucination that he and his family are all rabbits, and his rabbit version is named Warren. Not sure if this would be considered (sort of like) a super-hero alter ego (An actor is starring as a character that has a super-hero alter ego. In this case, a single Character should be created and both the ordinary name and alter ego name should be included in the Character name.) or if it would be considered a new character entirely, but no matter what, Lincoln and Warren are both voiced by Collin Dean.

3. Would like this character to be kept, but changed from main cast to recurring cast.

I'd leave the main cast appearance of Collin Dean as Lincoln, and add guest cast appearance of Collin Dean as Warren. So I'll just rename "Lincoln/Warren" to "Warren".
The same with other characters in this episode https://i.imgur.com/2j4eFUA.png

Thank you- and thanks for the image. I'll update that episode with the cast soon. Probably gonna do the same thing with the characters in "A Dark and Story Night".

And then could Bobby also be deleted as a main character as well? He's definitely more of a recurring character than main cast, just like Ronnie Anne. If you're unable to somehow switch him over to recurring/guest and you have to altogether delete the character, I already have the image saved and an episode to add him onto, so you're perfectly fine to delete him altogether.

Done. I've added his guest appearance in "Save the Date" to keep the character from auto-deleting by the system.

Why isn't it possible to add "Kubikiri Cycle: Aoiro Savant to Zaregoto Tsukai" (Thetvdb, IMDB)?

I make a request and see errors, which are on the screenshot, but i figure out that there is no show with such IDs (request1, request2)

This is an OAV which was released on Video, it is not allowed on tvmaze as we are only tracking TV shows :)
