Another series/episode keyword problem

Here's another title where the same keywords have been repeated for many episodes:

"Common Sense Mamita"  (2013)

There were 47 episodes with the same 14 keywords, for a total of 658 incorrect ones.  I have submitted corrections.

Please inform the original submitter of the IMDb guidelines.

Is there some way that duplicate keywords for episodes can be "caught" when originally submitted?

Again, anthology series should be exempt from any such warning or prevention.

Thanks.

And here's another:

"Tabula Rasa" (2017)

although this only involves 4 keywords that were duplicated in 9 episodes, for a total of 36 incorrect keywords.  Nevertheless, the original submitter should be informed.

The series-episode schema on IMDb is such that a given series is too easily messed up by a confused or uninformed contributor. I don't know, but that is what the situation seems like.

Ans here's another:

"Young & Reckless" (2016)

5 episodes with the same 29-30 keywords, for a total of 147 incorrect keywords.  (I've submitted corrections.)

Again, the original submitter should be informed of the guidelines.

Hi Phil -

Our guidelines do state the policy: "Keywords submitted to the TV series page should be relevant to and describe the entire series. Keywords that are specific to a particular episode should be added to that episode only", unfortunately, with-that-being-said not all contributors review our guidelines before submitting data.  I have reached out to the Keyword contributors for the example titles you referenced, if you continue to see these types of errors, please continue to submit the applicable deletions through our online form.

Here are some other titles with this problem (for which I have also submitted corrections):


"It Could Be Worse" (2013)

"Io" (2016)

"Louise and Mya" (2013)

“One Night Stand” (2010/I)

“Galen” (2011)

"Déjà Vu" (2013)

"Pop Culture Beast's Halloween Horror Picks" (2014)

"Lo que surja" (2006)

"LARPs" (2014)


There are many others.  These are web-series, whose titles seem particularly susceptible to this problem.  Original submitters should be notified.  Perhaps web series titles could be flagged to keep this from happening.

Hi Phil -

If you continue to see keywords listed in bulk on all episodes of a series, as mentioned above please continue to submit the Keyword deletions/updates through our online form.  In the meantime, I have forwarded your comments ton flagging web series titles to our editors.  Thanks again for your on-going efforts!
