One thing I have not been able to figure out is how to add a name to a different category other than the one the set is part of.  For example, in the baseball Allen and Ginter sets there are a lot of non-sport names.  If I want to add that name to the database, it seems that when I go through the process through the set name, it will get added as a baseball name, when it should be a non-sport name.  Is there a way to make sure it goes into the non-sport category?

The page that has the "add" button on it - has a dropdown for the "category (first one at top). There, you can select a different category (such as Non-Sport, even while in Baseball).

I know, it's so simple and right there - I asked Admin myself a few weeks back. :)

Well, I'll be.  I can't believe it was staring me in the face this whole time!

Seriously, can you believe it? And I actually asked Admin how to accomplish such an "impossible" task. :) If the drop down had a hand, it would've slapped me!

Yes it is there, and yes, it is very easy to miss.  The need to use it is so infrequent that it is easy to just gloss it over and look right past it.  Then. when the occasion to use it does arise, you forget that it is right there because you look at that page all the time and don't change anything in that field.

A completely understandable oversight.
