So here are some bugs I've discovered and concerns, which is making being an editor on this site a bit difficult:
1. I edit a TV show which is missing seasons (e.g. there are 12 seasons, but 3 and 6 are missing because no one submitted any episodes for those seasons at TV Tome). I finally was able to create season 12, but I had to moderate my own submission. But I cannot figure out any way to create the missing seasons 3 and 6.
2. I have added new people as guest stars. These people do not show up anywhere when I search, so I have no way to add them to any more episodes, short of entering their name manually again, and I'm afraid that will create a brand new person page for the same person.
3. Episodes showing up in the "Other Seasons" cannot be edited in the normal way. I managed to figure out a way to edit those episodes, though--I cut and paste the episode ID (the magic number which shows up in the URL) for the one I want to edit, and paste it into the URL which comes up when I edit a normal season episode.
4. In many cases, the "First Episode" which is showing up on summary pages is NOT the first episode. Perhaps it is the first episode ever submitted?
5. Someone submitted some notes to TV Tome, and then submitted the same notes here. The original notes from TV Tome showed up here, but the person does not seem to be getting credit for them as a contributor. So I'm not sure whether I should accept the contributions, thus possibly creating duplicate notes, or reject them, thus not giving the guy the credit he deserves.
