How to change the sub-type of a title

Hello,

Some titles made for TV have a wrong sub-title. They are categorized "tv special" instead of "tv movie". I'd like to know how to transform "tv special" in "tv movie", I didn't find where I can do that in the uptading page.

Thank you.

aixourit: Those titles would have the Keyword tv-special currently. Having that keyword will change the IMDb classification of a title from TV movie to TV special.

If the title shouldn't be classified as a TV special, please submit a deletion of tv-special from the Keywords section for the title. 

Keep in mind that on IMDb, the description of "TV special" is normally limited to nonfiction programming. Therefore, when you submit the deletion of the tv-special keyword, please provide an explanation along the lines of "This program is a dramatized, fictional story with actors playing roles, and should not be classified as a TV special by IMDb."

I hope this helps. Good luck!

@aixourit  In addition to @gromit82‘s helpful reply (thanks), please also see https://help.imdb.com/article/contribution/titles/keywords/GXQ22G5Y72TH8MJ5?ref_=helpsrall#special 

It would be useful if you shared examples of titles where you believe the data is incorrect before attempting to submit any corrections.
