Duplicates of Years

There are more for other years, but is there supposed to be a distinction here? The only thing I can think of is that one refers to anything *made* in the era, and the other keyword is for shows and films that depict that era, but were made much later. If that is so, then they aren't being tagged like that. My instinct is that it is not, because you can just use the year filter.

EDIT: I have my answer, "Please note that plot timeframe keywords should always be prefixed with "timeframe-". For example, "timeframe-1950s". See our guidelines here for more information."

Does that mean all the 1950s, 1960s, 1970s, 1980s etc are all redundant?

I asked the same question here.

According to IMDb staff, some of the "1950s" style keywords were used by contributors to indicate when specific titles were produced or released, rather than when they are set. (I bet that is a very small percentage of the keywords.) It does sound like the staff are not willing to merge these two sets of keywords with each other for that reason (although they never directly answered my question).

@keyword_expert they almost certainly were, unfortunately. "timeframe" is probably better in the long-run in this instance as a prefix.

Although I'd have preferred "period" as a suffix, but it's whatever.
