The same Chinese vandal has merged "Gods of the Arena" (the miniseries and prequel to Spartacus) to the TV-Series page on IMDb as easily as on other databases mentioned in this topic. Spartacus [https://www.imdb.com/title/tt1442449] originally consists of three seasons: 1) Blood and Sand; 2) Vengeance; 3) War of the Damned. The miniseries "Gods of the Arena" is prequel to Spartacus, they should not be merged.

Hi @Maya and @Michelle​,

I would like to remind you, and also other employees who have previously been involved in this improper merge, of similar cases where production company personnel did not have full knowledge and understanding of the principles and rules of IMDbase. One of many examples of this issue is how later versions of Home Alone (starting with #4, all being TV-Movies) were vandalized and merged into a single Disney series of different franchises. As a result of marketing placement, producers may change their views on what they or their company have created in the past, but IMDb strives to collect factual data as it has historically been.
