IMDb staff: What 19 indicates in the reference numbers like #000000-000000-000019?

Hi @Michelle,

Some of them:

#260707-191927-193019
#260724-185326-646819
#260727-094121-319819
#260804-151033-820619

I have two ideas on what that can be, but both result into a strange situation.

If for some reason the team can not give a comprehensive answer on public, please explain to my e-mail, I'm not going to reveal the results. Thank you.

Hi @MAthePA​ -

Thanks for these examples, I'm checking on this with the appropriate tech team (note it will likely not be until early next week until I get a response).

As soon as I have the details I will confirm them with you here (if I can share the specifics).

Hi, @MAthePA and @Michelle​:

Here's my guess, based on my own contribution reference numbers:

➡️ #xxxxxx-xxxxxx-xxxx00: Title contribution (cast & crew, companies, etc.)

➡️ #xxxxxx-xxxxxx-xxxx02: Image contribution (until May 2026) (❌deprecated?)

➡️ #xxxxxx-xxxxxx-xxxx04: FAQ contribution (until September 2024) (❌deprecated?)

➡️ #xxxxxx-xxxxxx-xxxx09: I have four of these, each of which just includes the addition of a certificate; these may be some of the very few contributions I made using the Data Gaps feature that used to exist (❌deprecated?)

➡️ #xxxxxx-xxxxxx-xxxx19: Image contribution (since May 2026)

➡️ #xxxxxx-xxxxxx-xxxx21: FAQ contribution (since September 2024)

Cheers!

@ljdoncel,

thank you.

I submitted a FAQ only once, maybe it was "21", didn't notice.

Data Gaps is totally not interesting since they restricted the countries in 2019 or 2020 for a stupid reason.

The rest I knew, and at first it looked like 02 moved to 19, but I also had 19s not related to images. In fact, that ruined my auto separating into images and the rest.
