Contributor tips: Magic URLs

That top-tips page has been very helpful to me. I tend to contribute opera dvds to IMDb, and don't record every credit. So I use this when I create the title, since it opens all the boxes I need for the Add. https://contribute.imdb.com/updates?update=title:music_department.add.3/miscellaneous.add.1/business_sd.add.1/writers.add.2/running_times.add.1/keywords.add.1/technical_rat.add.1/locations.add.1/

Thanks both, these are great!

There are some current data sections which are not included in the list on the help page. These seem to work: script_department sales_agents series_end_year synopsis location_management is listed in the first list for titles, but not in the second list for names. There may be additional codes for contact details and family details. These listed codes don't seem to work since the sections are no longer available: title_attr Title Attributes naka Alternative Names bio_wn Where Are They Now? And though you say it works with a company code, this option isn't mentioned in the help page.

Thanks Peter I've made those changes now, including additional contact detail options and family details. Although the company codes do work for some data types, I think they've purposefully been left off of the guide for precautionary reasons. I'll amend my post above.

For IMDb title pages bereft of a lot of basic information, I've been known to visit script-generated queries of the form /updates?update=tt*:cast.correct.all/cast.add.10/production_companies.correct/production_companies.add5/running_times.correct/running_times.add.1/sound_mix.correct/sound_mix.add.1/outlines.correct/outlines.add.1/plot.correct/keywords.correct.all/keywords.add.20/soundtracks.correct/soundtracks.add.10/title_urls_msc.correct/title_urls_msc.add.2/title_urls_off.correct/title_urls_off.add.2/title_urls_mov.correct/title_urls_mov.add.2/title_urls_tra.correct/title_urls_tra.add.2/business_cp.correct/business_cp.add.3/technical_rat.correct/technical_rat.add.1/technical_cam.correct/technical_cam.add.1 along with several dozen others that might not be infeasible to list here. The combinations number in the billions, I guess. I achieve this via RegEx-involved DOM-manipulating bookmarklets mainly. IMDb name pages, and likewise brand pages, have some sections that can only be viewed or edited when an IMDbPro subscription is active. On this forum, sometimes I post magic URLs (i.e. hyperlinks to specific submission forms) when explaining to prospective contributors where and how to submit corrections on data types of interest to them.

Thanks jeorj_euler, that one looks pretty comprehensive! Thanks for sharing.

Wow! The Magic URLs have a lot of potential. Here's a URL that allows me to add a single keyword to 200 different titles at the same time, using the same form: https://contribute.imdb.com/updates?update=tt0043766:keywords.correct/keywords.add.200 I choose the film M (1951) for this, because that title is only one letter long, and it therefore can be quickly and easily replaced with a different title for each title field, using the method described by
