Label shell episodes and prevent new information from appearing on them
I'd like to see IMDb label shell episodes as such and prevent new information from appearing on them.
The staff may want to disable editing capability (except for title, date, movie connections and trivia) on shell episodes and clearly label them as shells.
All the shells are doing now is confuse users and, worse, invite contributors to add missing information.
See: https://help.imdb.com/article/contribution/titles/episode-guidelines/GDF7HR6CCCBKU3CP?ref_=helpms_helpart_inline#overview
Also see this discussion, which resulted from confusion re the Columbo shell episodes: What happened to the info on Season 8 & 9 of Columbo?

I further suggest that the Plot Outline should contain a link to the original title. For instance, for this Episode,
https://www.imdb.com/title/tt30869797/
which originally aired as this TV Movie
https://www.imdb.com/title/tt0097083/
the plot outline for the Episode should read something like
