The Movie Database Support

Hi there!

I have noticed from the past 6th 8th of September that the daily export of persons/people contains duplicated entries in terms of id. Specifically, the following two lines share its id:

{ adult: false, id: 4929126, name: 'Julius Proost', popularity: 0.36 }
{ adult: false, id: 4929126, name: 'Martin Dewee', popularity: 0.36 }

If you try to look up that id directly in the web, for example by typing https://www.themoviedb.org/person/4929126, a redirection would take place to end up in the following route:

https://www.themoviedb.org/person/4929126-martin-dewee

We can see that Martin Dewee is the one in the URL while, by the time the full redirection is completed, the page title shows Julius Proost.

Is that some kind of bug or is it the desired behaviour?

From my point of view, I find the fact of having two entries sharing the same id really strange and confusing. Is that normal?

Thanks

Hey @Julio@Mindden,

That shouldn't have happened. We recently completed a data migration that I think is to blame for this.

I've removed the duplicate ID, and changed the name of the remaining record. Starting with tomorrow's export, you should only see a single object represented by 4929126.

Thanks for the report.
