1. Is there a minimum number of cards required to create a new bio in the system, or is the plan to have every person represented in the database? For example, does a trainer from a minor league team 40 years ago appearing on one card in his career really need a bio created?
2. The FAQ has instructions on how to create new names. I'm assuming this functionality was removed at some point and the FAQ needs an update?

I was thinking the same thing as Dan......if you are looking for Joe Schlobotski that was the trainer from the 1979 Toledo Mud Hens, then you can just search and find them......
I'm going through the Magic the Gathering cards right now and aligning them all with PID's and making sure all related cards are connected properly......

Thanks. Just asking because we're getting a few IRs for missing names and we can't really do anything to add the names ourselves

Actually it is quite easy...
If the player does not exist in any form clilck on edit name. Research to see if he/she has any possible nicknames or if Robert could be Rob or Bob, scan the similar names. If you are sure add new name.
If it is somebody you have deduced is a different person but same name. Click on edit name, remove the PID number and hit submit. The name will turn black with no link. Click on add name. Add the person/player and in the differentiator box add date of birth (ex. b.1973) or another note that explains the difference. Click add name. The card will automatically re link to the previous person. Repeat above steps and when you scan the similar names click on select of the new PID.

I don't have an "Add name" function. I think only L8s have it?

Right, I saw that in the Permissions list, which is why I'm confused. I even retook the test and passed it just in case something got messed up, and still nothing.
Here is what I see when I try to edit a card:
#NNO (edit cardnum) - Pierre Sevigny (edit name) (edit note) - Chicoutimi Sagueneens - (edit team)
I don't see an "add name" link or button anywhere

You go into Edit Name.
In there, you get the ability to add the name.

If the card is not currently linked to a PID. Click on edit name, then you should be able to see the Add Name Function.
Edit: This was step #4 in the FAQ link in your original post.
