Null edit for indexing Godzilla

Godzilla Stern was recently announced as being an Elwin game. I don't think the actual page will exist for some time, but the official wiki policy for creator pages is to redlink works without pages.

Keith Elwin is a professional pinball player turned designer from California. He started as an operator and technician and made a name for himself as an exceptionally skilled player in the competitive scene, frequently making it to the very top of the PAPA rankings and winning many tournaments. (This is part of why ''Pinball/StarWarsStern'' uses his initials, "KME", as the default for the top of the high score list.) He also created a homebrew pinball table based on ''WesternAnimation/{{Archer}}'' in 2015, bringing it to 2016's Pinball Expo for attendees to play. This caught Creator/{{Stern}} Pinball's attention, leading to the company hiring him – fulfilling his lifelong dream of becoming a pinball designer in the process.
His first game, ''Pinball/IronMaidenLegacyOfTheBeast'', is a reworked version of his ''Archer'' design featuring a new license. In addition to designing the actual layout of each table, he also comes up with their rules (unlike many other designers, who have other people create rules for their games).
