Black and white and/or colo(u)r attribute issues

The following attributes exist in the attribute area of Color/Black & White:
-also Black & White (attached to 1 title)
-B&W and Color (19)
-B&W and color (16)
-Black & White (25)
-Black & White and Color (1,674)
-Both (5)
-Both B&W and Color (14)
-both black and white and colour (13)
-both... (4)
-Color (114)
-color (24)
-Color and B&W (10)
-Color and B/W (4)
-Color and Black & White (20)
-Colour (14)
-colour (14)
-colour film (7)

Because Color and/or Black and White should be listed at the Color info section and not in the attribute section, these attributes are all wrong.
Can a staffer please create a yellow warning for the words 'color', 'colour', 'black', and 'white' in the attribute field?
Also, can someone create a list of all titles that have one of the above attributes so we can check if the correct information is already listed at the proper place so the attributes can be deleted?

Another also, it seems the guide for Color information is gone. Clicking on the button here: https://help.imdb.com/article/contribution/contribution-information/submission-guides-a-z/GWBAHK9SAM... leads to this page: https://help.imdb.com/article/contribution/contribution-information/submission-guides-a-z/GWBAHK9SAM...

Hi Marco-

thank you very much for raising this issue.

We have done some preliminary cleanup on attributes, keeping the ones that don't already have both, color and B&W, with the the attribute "(Black & White and Color)" for the time being.

A full clean-up, together with the addition of a submission guide and submission warnings has been logged and will be prioritized accordingly.

Thanks again
André

Thanks a bunch. Also, it's good to know submissions warnings are also on the roadmap.

There still isn't a guide for color/b&w information!

Hi @Marco​ -

I have now filed a new ticket requesting a Help Guide for Color Information (as the original ticket was stale).  As soon as I have an update on the status I will post it here.

Cheers!

@Michelle​ Thanks a bunch for this Michelle. That said, I really don't understand how it's possible for both the original ticket to go stale as well as IMDb not noticing/caring they don't have a guide for Color Information for over four years. It makes IMDb look amateurish (and in choosing this word, I think I'm being kind).

@Michelle​ I see there now is a guide for color (https://help.imdb.com/article/contribution/titles/technical-data/GXW9DNC824AHENDF?ref_=helpms_helpart_inline#) so that's good. The attributes could still use some attention though.

An example:

Hello Marco,

I'm following up here to confirm that this issue has now been resolved and the attributes were cleaned up.
