This recording should be credited to two artists, Wretch 32 and L, in line with the new featured artists guideline.

However, the artist credit dialog, both in editing recordings and releases, won't do a search after entering 'L'. For the release, it was possible to work around this as the 'Add Missing Entities' tab picks up on the broken artist that hasn't been resolved and offers a list of possibilities. But with recordings it causes an Internal Server Error if an artist has not been matched to an entity in the DB.

I think this is a dupe of MBS-1393 but please re-open if it's not resolved by the fix to that issue.

It is a duplicate, which makes me wonder why such an old bug hasn't been fixed. Adding a space is certainly non-intuitive as it never occurred to me until it was mentioned here.

There's another issue in that I don't think unresolved artists should be allowed to cause internal server errors... I'll file a separate bug for that.

Actually, I just fixed it It was in review yesterday, but didn't pass in time for the release.
