Actor showing wrong number of episodes for TV series

When viewing the full cast of Game of Thrones, it correctly shows Sean Bean as being in 10 episodes (all in 2011) as Eddard 'Ned' Stark when expanding the list of episodes under his name. However, next to his name and character, it incorrectly says "13 episodes, 2011-2016". Despite saying 13 episodes, he is sorted between actors with 10 and 11 episodes.

It also says 2011-2016 in his Known For on his page.

This could possibly be because the same character was played by another actor for three episodes in 2016, although that actor is credited as Young Ned and was also in a fourth episode in 2017.

I don't know if this is an isolated incident.

Hi Matt -

As others in this thread pointed out, the episode count includes all credited sections, which is why the additional 3 archive footage credits are included within the count.  If I understand the issue at hand, you are reporting that it is confusing that Sean Bean is listed with an episode count of 13 episode credits on the "Game of Thrones" series page:




But the drop-down displays only 10 episodes:




Is this correct?

Question, Michelle.
Should those "Archives credits" actually be listed within the credits as uncredited?

Hi Michelle, that is correct. It looks confusing. I also wonder whether those archive credits should exist to begin with, as the policy is somewhat ambiguous.

Hi Matt,

You are correct, those archive footage credits are ineligible. I've removed them now.

Thanks, Will. Though the problem isn't "solved". The main issue is how confusing it looked. Had the archive credits not been incorrect, as could be the case for other examples, it would still have the same display problem.
