Much consternation about the newly-unsearchable people IDs. It's not quite a crisis as, if an actor does not appear at Search For Actor Name, you can add it to the hidden ID at Manually Add a Guest Star, as long as you format the name correctly, and as long as the system recognises the hidden ID as the default for that name. It is worth checking after posting that the submission has gone to the correct ID, but so far all of those I have treated this way have worked.

A cautionary note, however: sometimes the true ID may be hidden, while one of the duplicates is visible! A Search For Actor Name using "Reg Pritchard" yields Reg Pritchard and Reginald Pritchard, both of which are duplicates. You have to ignore those hits and enter "Reg Pritchard" at Manually Add a Guest Star to correctly assign the credit to Reg Pritchard, the true ID!
