website as item format disappeared in "more" listing?

Greetings,
A faculty member reported that she could not manually enter a website into her Zotero library. I checked and indeed, there was no listing for website under video recording! However, once in the workform (or item), you could choose the menu with "item type," and website was once again available. Mysterious. A bug?
Thank you for any insight or fix!

See the "Note" here: https://www.zotero.org/support/getting_stuff_into_your_library#manually_adding_and_editing_items

the way this works will likely change going forward, but it is intended to nudge people towards creating webpage items via browser connector rather than manually.

Thank you. That makes sense. Some of these items are better classified as a different type of webpage (e.g. blog, report) and I've been working with this author on how to set up those item types appropriately, depending on how they come through with the connector. Thanks again!
