Clickable Links in Bio

This never used to be an issue until just recently, when updating or adding information to my Actor Bio. Upon correcting some info this time around, I keep getting these errors: Your submission may contain date of birth information which is not permitted within Mini Biographies and may result in your submission being rejected. Invalid link - Links to other IMDb pages should be entered as follows, with nm1234567 as an example page to link to: [link=nm1234567]. Links only support name and title IDs. When the following are what I copy/pasted from my original Bio and the heading pages: Title [link=co0314159] also Title [link=tt15386650] So I'm uncertain of what I input or copy pasted incorrectly. And for the factor that the site page glitched a few times, because it only highlighted the errors once. While making me game-guess the others on my own. So very irritating when trying to update information. Thanks for your help!

Hello cugrad16, As mentioned in the warning, Date of Births are not allowed on the Bio, so you can add the Date of Birth on the right section. For the errors linking name or title pages, you can go to our Help Articles to get instructions how they must be formatted: https://help.imdb.com/article/contribution/other-submission-guides/linking-names-and-titles-in-text-based-lists/G3SKJC2XJEHCMRS8?ref_=helpsrall#

I never at any time listed my DOB... that info got erroneously copy pasted here. And the Help link share is not helpful, as that's just the IMDb Help section repeating the same info. Here's a sample of what I was referncing over the link= Then co-founded [link=co0314159] as Creative Producer and Director and Recurring Player with the notable multi-award-winning web series [link=tt3643900]. And film-noir TV special [link=tt28332639]. While acting in numerous non-union Indie, Featured, Shorts, and noted stage roles of versatility and depth. Earning her film festival awards for Supporting Actress [link=tt15386650] [link=tt28310015] and various accolades including 'Outstanding Comedic Performance' and 'excellence in Theater' [link=tt28312426] [link=tt28312359] [link=tt28312565]. Most recently, performing 'Greatest Hits' and Production Assistant for [link=tt33508631] traveling troupe. Interviewed and published in local ReVue and Grand Rapids Magazines. Enjoying a lifetime of lifetime of versatile performances at Dog Story Theater, Master Arts, Grand Rapids Civic, and Compass Film Academy. Turning her attentions lately, to screen/play/songwriting, and audio-book/commercial ads. The occasional screen role as opportunity gives. Sadly, special formatting is not allowed here, nor any screenshots---- so hopefully you can decipher the [link= ] within the blocked text fine enough, to understand what I'm talking about.

co0314159 is a company, and according to the help text it is not possible to link a company name.

I actually did not see that part until after the fact, from a system email update. Thanks!
