When adding a trivia item, the last line of the blurb above the form reads: "If your submission contains a reference to another name or title that is currently listed on the site, please link it using the {link=title number or person number] format. For information please see our guide."
The first bracket should be a "[", not a "{", i. e. it should read: "[...] please link it using the [link=title number or person number] format."

When submitting a trivia item using the new [link=title number or person number] format, is it supposed to show the actual link when previewing it before submitting it? Because currently, it does not.

Hi Paul,
Thanks for your message.
The linked name will not automatically preview when pressing check these updates within the submission form.
Please see the following announcement thread which details recent changes with the linking method. Any questions or suggestions should be made here where our staff can take them into consideration!

I tried submitting trivia items using the "qv" function and was informed that this 'legacy' function is no longer accepted.
That being the case (when did that happen?), you might want to redirect the "qv" Help page <https://contribute.imdb.com/updates>; to the new page <https://help.imdb.com/article/contribution/other-submission-guides/linking-names-and-titles-in-text-...; (the entire URL did not paste for some reason)

Any referencing to qv linking should now direct here, please let me know if you find any others instances which aren't re-directing as expected and I can update these too.
Thanks,
Joel
