What are the IMDb rules concerning the ampersand character?
I was trying to submit a plot outline containing the band/group name, "Big & Rich".
Upon checking the data, IMDb says, "The following fixes have been applied automatically. ' & ' has been replaced with ' and ' in accordance with IMDb rules."
What are these rules? I checked the guide and found nothing concerning the ampersand character.

Insert this, [link=nm1816434] into the plot outline as a substitute for Big & Rich.
That's an okay workaround if you don't mind the text being a link.
IMDb want's those as links. It is preferred.
- A synopsis should be a detailed description of the entire plot of the title, including spoilers, so users who haven't seen a movie or missed an episode of a TV series can read everything about the title. A synopsis must include exclusively details of the story of the film, with no commentary.
- A maximum of one synopsis is allowed per title. Please modify the existing item rather than delete the live one and/or add a new one.
- On a parent series please provide an overview of the entire series followed by any main events per season under season headings.
- [link=title number] format will link to a title/name const. You can retrieve the person number, also known as the nconst, from the URL of a person's page. For example, [link=nm2106835] becomes Cynthia Lea. You can retrieve the title number, also known as the tconst, from the URL of the title's page. For example, [link=tt0093832] becomes Red's Dream.
- If you notice constant issues of sabotage/vandalism etc. please report these to us via our contact form by selecting IMDb Contributor > I need help and haven't submitted an update > Titles > Other title issues followed by the E-mail button - our editors will investigate this for you.
