Access to edit the alternative title sequence?

When a TV episode has an "alternative title" section, clicking edit on it never seems to get to the section in question.

I mention this because I've... messed up. Sorry. Accidentally added two episode titles to this episode of a sitcom:

https://www.imdb.com/title/tt1188585/reference/

The section at the

Also Known As
  • The Other Woman?

I've clicked on edit as it shouldn't be there, "The Other Woman?" is the episode before.

Accepted Solution

Hi @MovieCat -

I have deleted it for you since as of now it is not an option for contributors.

Cheers!

@Bethanny​ Thank you, apologies for that.

I don't suppose you'd want to ADD one at all?

This episode of Dramarama, Frog: https://www.imdb.com/title/tt0901928/reference/

While the title stands, it could maybe do with an alternative title under "full screen title" or somesuch.

"Frog or How to Gum Up the Water Works".

I've uploaded screenshots to justify this.

Hello MovieCat,

This is mostly for Alternative versions of the Episode (like remasters, directors cuts, etc). We do not allow alternative titles for Episodes.

@MovieCat  It sounds like the main title for the episode should be changed to "Frog or How to Gum Up the Water Works", if you have screenshots showing that it was the title displayed onscreen? Just because someone decided to shorten the title when the episode was submitted doesn't mean you shouldn't submit a correction if it's incomplete.

@FeRDNYC​ I'm happy for it to be left as "Frog" under the circumstances, as the "Or" is like a frivolous amendment onscreen. (It's a satirical piece).

I've taken screenshots of both screens to illustrate it's very much an additional bit.

Main title: https://www.imdb.com/title/tt0901928/mediaviewer/rm1361407745?ref_=tt_rv

Extra title: https://www.imdb.com/title/tt0901928/mediaviewer/rm2703585025/

@Bethanny​ On this topic, there's an episode of a series called "Middle English", which has all signs that it was created as a single standalone title before being integrated into the TV series: 

https://www.imdb.com/title/tt2203078/reference/

Interference (1985)

Interference: Episode 2 (original title)

It doesn't need the top title, or for the second bit to be "original title", it just needs to be called "Interference: Episode 2".

(This is my new project, there were only 7 episodes on the title last night)

@MovieCat​ Mmm, yeah; that's a tricky one, if the pieces are on two separate title cards like that.
