Changing a title ... next to impossible?

@eboy​  Well, the title card at 0:32, says GRIM PRAIRIE TALES, but underneath in Portugese it translates the extra bit as "Night of Stories and Terror". You'll notice that Youtube gives the whole massive title.

I have a VHS copy of the original film, and it shows the long-form title at 0:04.

Yes, original film has that title, but it's already correct on IMDb, what are you trying to change for that one?

@mbmb​  Nope, I wasn't concerned about GRIM PRAIRIE TALES, that was just an example of the sometimes anal requirements IMDb demands. I was asking about WOMAN IN CAR (2021) or [link=tt10197632]. I could put in a "correction", but should I?

@hutch48​ I see, I personally wouldn't do it but I can't say anything policy-wise because this is not something covered in the guides I think. I remember reading a reply on this subject from @VonPunk a while back that made a lot of sense. He was basically saying something like this: If the full stop had a meaning, like it was in the middle, or if it made sense to add it, then he would add it, or other meaningful punctuation like ellipsis, exclamation mark, question mark etc. but he would refrain from adding a full stop at the end of the title. I find this view sensible and I agree with it but I can't say what the policies would say about it.

That there is nothing in the guidelines about end periods could be taken to mean that they can be included since there is no exception for them. There are several high-profile titles already listed with them:

Adaptation.

...and justice for all.

Good Night, and Good Luck.

Crazy, Stupid, Love.

Awkward.

@mbmb​ I recall that one, it was for the series 'Terror in the Woods' where the occasional random full stops that didn't translate outside of the cheap looking title cards to other official sources for the series just would've looked messy especially next to a backslash that split the two titles (most episodes had two stories).

There was no staff input on that one but I always had the good grammar that the site prefers in certain instances in mind when I advised.

All I can think here, is if they majority of media (especially any title card onscreen) has a full stop on the end, is to screenshot it or link timestamped video to it with a submission and let staff decide if they don't chip in on this thread soon with definitive advice on the matter at hand. 

@hutch48​ 

The compelling reason is that titles should be entered as shown on screen (where possible). Since the period is part of the on screen title, it should be reflected in the way IMDb displays it.
