Federal Bureau of Investigation is listed as a thing for some reason. It already has a bunch of movies attached though. Is it possible for a mod to change it to a concept or person, whichever is appropriate?

@ashogo: No, unfortunately there's no way to change a page from a concept to an object. The only way to fix it is to make a new page and re-add all of the movies.

@ashogo: It is intended. Concepts are generally limited to the process of filmmaking and storytelling, while organisations like FBI and CIA are classified under objects (even though 'object' isn't really an accurate descriptor for what the FBI really is).

@Killjoi: Yeah, concept doesn't seem right. Wouldn't 'person' be a better fit than 'object', though? That's what we do with bands like the beatles or radiohead, it would make sense for an organization as well.

@ashogo: But this is fictional FBI (which is only tenuously based on the real FBI). Person pages are real people who act and create movies. It would be like crediting Bill Clinton in a movie when someone else played Bill Clinton in a movie.

It's a tricky one and since we don't have a separate category for organizations, we decided to put it under objects (rather than characters). It's not a good solution but it's the only one we have with the existing tools.

@Killjoi: right, I guess that does make sense. Object it is, then!
