Nickname from previous website version now appears as a separate contributor

[100thCoin]

For my recent published TASs, since usernames cannot begin with a number, I have opted to write my username out as "OnehundredthCoin", and entered "100th_Coin" as the nickname field when submitting. Since the upgrade, my TAS now lists both "OnehundredthCoin" and "100th_Coin" as the creators.

Hmm, API reports only one author for the pub: "OnehundredthCoin". The title may just be formatting the nickname wrong. In comparison, the submission's header text does properly display just the nickname.

This was due to the old site only having strings as publication and submission titles, thus needing manual conversion. This was done and checked on the end of October 2021, so player entries that changed afterwards might be affected.

This doesn't need a fix in the code and instead a fix on the site. Both submissions and publications need to be fixed.

Here is a list of affected publications (and their submissions) I found back when I first noticed the problem:

• https://tasvideos.org/4548M
• https://tasvideos.org/4554M
• https://tasvideos.org/4558M

Cleaned up those. What other movies need this?

Their submissions need the change as well.

Looks like submissions were fixed too, can this be closed?

[Masterjun3]

The submissions still aren't fixed heh.

Here is what exactly to do to close this issue:

• https://tasvideos.org/7215S remove Xindictive from additional authors and add New999 to authors
• https://tasvideos.org/7245S remove 100th_Coin from additional authors and add OnehundredthCoin to authors
• https://tasvideos.org/7248S remove Josh P from additional authors and add mxlenny94 to authors

They changed their names after I fixed the publications. So where it was still wrong I did a blank edit for pubs so the right name is picked, and also I fixed the submissions.

Closing this. This conversation doesn't belong here, this is non-dev work. If submissions/publication names are wrong, let's post in a topic (or the topic of the incorrect pub/sub) and have the conversation there
