Add "Lost" Mention for lost movies

Hi there,

I was looking for an old movie for Joseph Sweeney from 1918 called Sylvia on a spree, but after some researchers, I found out that it was lost, so I suggest that for any lost movie, we mention this as a tag for example or section for itself indicating that so people won't go outside and struggle to search for the movie to find out in the end that it was lost, it could be very helpful.
Thank you!

There is a keyword, lost-film, though of course it has to be kept up to date and accurate.

Wow, some of those titles with the "lost-film" keyword make no sense at all. Sesame Street? Mister Rogers' Neighborhood? Maybe certain episodes, but someone added that keyword to these entire TV series. Same with The Carol Burnett Show. I will delete the keyword from those series.

Here are some interesting related keywords:

partially-lost-film (297 titles)
formerly-lost-film (83 titles)
presumed-lost-film (2 titles)

And then there's this keyword:

not-a-lost-film (3 titles)

That makes another keyword starting with "not!" @bradley_kent recently wrote a good discussion of these "not" keywords, and why they should be avoided. I will be deleting these ones as well.

I added the keyword "lost-film" to the movie you mentioned: Sylvia on a Spree (1918).

Here is a 2016 list of 7,200 lost silent films, just from the U.S. alone:
