You need to add the language order now.  An edit would be nice to warn you  :(

@tatjana1984​ This is related to the discussion at https://community-imdb.sprinklr.com/conversations/data-issues-policy-discussions/language-order/65f5b263ec4e3a42ca5709c8 where Col Needham said that IMDb was going to start enforcing the requirement that all languages submitted must have order numbers.

That said, however, rejecting languages with no order numbers with the reason "Does not meet contribution guidelines" is unhelpful.

A much better way to enforce the requirement would be at the time of submission, with any language without an order number getting a red (non-bypassable) warning that says, "Please submit an order number for this language."

Since when adding language does not meet contribution guidelines?
Why you can't add language anymore?
What is going on?

This morning I've had a number of language additions declined when creating new episodes.  All have been English and have come back with "Does not meet contribution guidelines".  Would there be a reason this has suddenly changed that I've missed or is it a glitch?  Here are the ref numbers:

240410-224305-728000
240410-230154-743000
240410-230959-784000
240410-234541-898000

Thanks.

Hi @Karen,

Thank you for reporting this.

I can confirm that the reason for these items being declined was because a language order was missing from the submission. Please re-submit this data and include an order number for the language information you are adding. Guidance on these submissions can be found in our Languages help guide.

Thanks!

@tatjana1984 / @Karen / @gromit82 / @ugnieska  / @rakleed Thanks for the feedback on this.  We have made a temporary exception to the policy while we work on a new check within the contribution interface.  Please resubmit any rejected contributions with the correct order number and they should be accepted.

Hello rakleed,

You have added the (subtitles) attribute. The IMDb languages section records the languages spoken in titles. We do not allow subtitles languages to be added. 

You can take a look at our Languages help article.
