Type of Problem: Incorrect_content

Extra Details: Mark Proksch portrayed "Baby Colin" only in season 4, why is he credited (and locked) like this for all 6 seasons? And he didn't portray "Baby Colin" and "Colin Robinson" simultaneously. The entire season 4 he was appearing as "Baby Colin", and "Colin Robinson" appeared for about 3 minutes at the end of the last episode of season 4.

Because Colin Robinson and Baby Colin are the same character and "Colin Robinson / Baby Colin" was his character name in season 4 according to the official website? https://archive.is/3JuL7

So by all means, he should be credited as "Colin Robinson" in seasons 1-3, 5-6, and as "Baby Colin" in season 4.

Why? I though you said in various other previous reports that actors shouldn't have separate credits for the same character, even if the name or spelling is different. Baby Colin and Colin Robinson are the same character so they shouldn't be separated.

Also, if Nandor is listed as "Nandor the Relentless", then Nadja probably should be listed as "Nadja of Antipaxos" because that's how both characters introduce themselves.

Because the official website uses "Nandor the Relentless" for Kayvan Novak but uses just "Nadja" for Natasia Demetriou.

Only in season 4, not seasons 1-3, nor 5-6. So why is he credited like this for all 6 seasons?

If this is the same character, he should have the original spelling of the name from season 1, i.e. Colin Robinson, regardless of any name changes in subsequent seasons.

Since you're so fond of digging into ancient history, I invite you to visit the show's page as it was at the time of the premiere https://web.archive.org/web/20190326122921/https://www.fxnetworks.com/shows/what-we-do-in-the-shadows/cast-crew

Because it's the same character. Since the character in season 4 is the same as the rest of the seasons, the credit shouldn’t be split, regardless of spelling and/or name. Isn’t that what you’re always advocating for? Mark Proksch isn't portraying a new character in addition to "Colin Robinson" or two separate characters in the same season so why would he have two different credits for the same character?

If this is the same character, he should have the original spelling of the name from season 1, i.e. Colin Robinson, regardless of any name changes in subsequent seasons.

The season 4 character name of "Colin Robinson / Baby Colin" should be used for season 4 as that's what Mark Proksch's character's name was changed to. It's unfortunate that it affects all seasons, and if it were up to me I would split the credits, but you have been very firm and adamant in other previous reports that that's not what the Contribution Bible says and that it shouldn't be done.

Find an archive of the page that credits Natasia Demetriou’s character as "Nadja of Antipaxos" and the character name will be updated.

OK, so this is my fault? LOL. Who is the mod here? But whatever, it seems that you prefer mockery and pungency over doing your work. Okay. Let me remind you of something else the Contribution Bible says. "While the character name credited on-screen may vary from one episode to the next, it's important to always use the exact same spelling for character names. For example, if a character is already credited as "Temperance 'Bones' Brennan", each new credit has to be with the same spelling."

So let's be firm and adamant here as well, and literally apply that rule to the current situation. The only discrepancy is that due to the lack of on-screen credits, we're referring to the show's official website for the character names, as you suggested earlier. If the character is already credited as "Colin Robinson" (which he has been since the show's premiere), each new credit has to be with the same spelling ("Colin Robinson", no "/", no other additions). Regardless of how and when the name was changed to. This is the spelling that should be used for all 6 seasons. Please go ahead and update the name per the bible rule.

Ok, leave "Nadja" alone. But also revert the names of other characters to the way they were first credited. According to the same rule I mentioned before. I'll quote it one more time for your convenience: "it's important to always use the exact same spelling for character names. For example, if a character is already credited as "Temperance 'Bones' Brennan", each new credit has to be with the same spelling." By the time of the premiere, all characters were credited by their first names only, no last names (except for Colin Robinson). Please go ahead and update the names per the bible rule.
