IMDb Staff: Action needed for the keyword "inter-racial"
Dear IMDb staff: I have a special request regarding the keyword "inter-racial": inter-racial (465 titles) As shown above, that keyword currently has 465 titles. After some recent auditing, all 465 of those titles are Adult titles. With that in mind, I propose the following two-step process: 1. Merge "inter-racial" into "interracial-sex": inter-racial (465 titles) --> interracial-sex (8720 titles) Then, after Step 1 is accomplished: 2. Set up "inter-racial" for auto-conversion to "interracial": inter-racial (0 titles) --> interracial (1203 titles) That two-step process, followed in that order, makes sense because we know that the current 465 instances of "inter-racial" are all intended to mean "interracial-sex," while in the future, "inter-racial" might mean "interracial-sex," "interracial-friendship," "interracial-couple," "interracial-family," etc. Thank you for considering this request.

Hi @keyword_expert & All - I can see that all keywords related to "inter-racial" have since been removed/cleaned-up. Concerning whether to block "inter-racial" or auto-convert to "interracial", I have blocked it since as a standalone it doesn't provide context and ideally it will encourage the contributor to submit a more defined keyword I hope this helps!

Should IMDb have an automatic correction of something into a standalone adjective like interracial, which is meaningless by itself? I would suggest blocking inter-racial without redirecting.

I agree, and also note that either 'interracial-romance' or 'interracial-marriage' is preferable to 'interracial-couple' or 'interracial-love'; 'race-relations' is probably more accurate than simply 'interracial' in a lot of cases. I'll also suggest that 'interracial-child' and 'interracial-baby' be merged into 'biracial-child' and 'biracial-baby' respectively (possibly also the same for 'interracial-family').
