The Wiki entry appears to have an error.  Any help would be greatly appreciated.

Thank you.

Take an existing profile in your collection and change the UPC - I normally add a zero to the end.
Add/Download the profile again from the database with the correct UPC.
Now you have two profiles - one of them has a UPC with a zero on the end.
Do not submit the profile with the bogus UPC to the database.

Edit: but I think you just wanted a link

Thanks Doombear.  That helps some.  I'm looking to clone a few profiles because I have a couple things like the Arrival two movie set that are already linked to a regular profile, but with different info.  I'd like to correct it at least for my own benefit.

You're probably referring to this link, right?
DougWeb, if you're out there, your "cloning guide" seems to need some repairing.

What might be different in clones:
- EAN/UPC and/or Disc ID
- Locality
- Region Coding
- Media Companies
- Running Time (e.g. NTSC vs. PAL)
- Case Type
- Release Date
- SRP
- Features
- Video Format
- Audio Tracks and Subtitles
- Overview
- Cover scans.

I contacted DougWeb, and he has kindly fixed his webpage, so the Cloning Guide is back up again.
