While researching the common name for Mark Boone, Jr. I came to notice that he is obviously named incorrectly in almost all profiles of "Seven". He in fact is credited as "Mark Boone Junior".

EDIT: deleted crosslink suggestion. (Mark Boone Junior is the common name with 199 titles and 594 profiles)
It all seems so stupid, it makes me want to give up!
But why should I give up, when it all seems so stupid?

On screen he is credited as "Mark Boone Junior" in the profiles he appears mostly as "Mark Boone Jr." or as "Mark Boone, Jr." in some profiles he even appears as "Mark / Boone / Junior"

The name's fine on my version. Can you tell which profiles are wrong?

Krik, he's on screen as "Mark Boone Junior"

Edit: just got the point of your post - I'm slow tonight.
Technically the Seven profiles aren't "incorrect", they're just not linked yet. We need to know which is more common ", Jr." or "Jr." before we can do anything about it.

He's definitely credited false in the following profiles

Seven 1995 8-414533-003100
Seven 1995 8-017229-437083
Seven: Serie Y 1995 8-602227-300011
Seven: Special Edition 1994 5-706550-007371
Seven (se7en) 1995 044006-186122
Seven (se7en) 1995 044006-186122
Seven (se7en) 1995 044006-186122

Can't really tell about the "Mark / Boone / Junior" variant though. I only realized this on my German version. CLT doesn't help much here.

It looks like he's parsed as Mark // Boone Junior.  At least that's how he is in my local database -- and if I "preview changes" for my profile of Se7en I don't get anything that's different except cover images.  So I assume that's the way his credit is in the online database.

Based on his credits that I've seen myself, I'm pretty sure that Mark Boone Junior (as opposed to Jr. or , Jr.) is actually the name variant he's mostly credited as. The "credit lookup" tool results confirm this:

Mark Boone Junior: 594 entries
Mark Boone Jr.: 168 profiles
Mark Boone, Jr.: 25 profiles

As for parsing: I went with Mark // Boone Junior.

Agreed.
