Moving 4 TV episodes to another title, and moving 650 episodes one season down!

Hi,

Two questions:

1st Q:

How do I move 4 episodes from one TV-series to another TV-series. They belong as episodes to the other title.

I've already submitted a series title correction including a thorough explanation for each of the 4 episodes, but nothing happens. In the mail receipt my explanation was even not present.

So maybe a staff member needs to look at this manually.

2nd Q:

Can someone on the IMDB staff help me move 650+ episodes from their current season and one season down. There are episodes from almost 50 seasons which needs to be moved! Only season 1-3 are correctly listed. The listed season 4 doesn't exist. So season 5 needs to be 4, and 6 needs to be 5, etc.

Hi @mads_larsen_nielsen -

For both issues can you link the titles you are referring to and any link to confirm the information?

Thanks!

i Bethany,

Thanks for getting back on this.

Ok, for the 1st Q:

These 4 episodes needs to be episodes of "Troldspejlet ComputerXtra" (1994), assigned the episode numbers, and have their temporarily episode titles deleted:

  • Episode Title / Number - Correct
    • Old -
      Parent: "Troldspejlet" (1989)
      Title: Troldspejlet computer xtra: Mad Dog McCree
      New -
      Parent: "Troldspejlet ComputerXtra" (1994)
      Number: 1.1

  • Episode Title / Number - Correct
    • Old -
      Parent: "Troldspejlet" (1989)
      Title: Troldspejlet computer xtra: Police Quest - Open Season
      New -
      Parent: "Troldspejlet ComputerXtra" (1994)
      Number: 1.4

  • Episode Title / Number - Correct
    • Old -
      Parent: "Troldspejlet" (1989)
      Title: Troldspejlet computer xtra: Part 5
      New -
      Parent: "Troldspejlet ComputerXtra" (1994)
      Number: 1.5

  • Episode Title / Number - Correct
    • Old -
      Parent: "Troldspejlet" (1989)
      Title: Troldspejlet computer xtra: Musicator GS for Windows
      New -
      Parent: "Troldspejlet ComputerXtra" (1994)
      Number: 1.7

For confirmation, please see this broadcast schedule from 1994:

For the 2nd Q:

The title is:

"Troldspejlet" (1989)

For Danish titles like this a season is either a spring season or a fall season. But "Troldspejlet" skipped it's fall 1990 season.

So..

Seasons 1-3 episodes are fine. These are from spring 1989, fall 1989, spring 1990.

Season 4 has only 1 episode listed which is incorrect, and needs to be deleted (there never was a season from fall of 1990).

Seasons 5-53 needs to be changed, so that they become seasons 4-52. Season 4 (incorrectly now listed as season 5) begins in spring 1991.

Hope this makes sense.

For confirmation I can only refer to the broadcast schedules from DR (the Danish broadcaster). Link: https://www.dr.dk/alletidersprogramoversigter/?q=troldspejlet&from=1990-01-01&to=1990-12-31

This searches for "Troldspejlet" episodes within the schedule of 1990, and corfirms that there never were any episodes from fall 1990.

Further, I've also been in contact via mail with the host and creator of the show who confirms there never was a fall 1990 season.

Let me know if I haven't expressed clearly what should be done.

Best, Mads

About the 2nd Q:

It’s not that I don’t know how to submit a season number correction for the episodes.

But I am asking for help, hoping someone on the IMDb staff can do this behind the scenes, reducing a massive manual repetitive process (submitting this for each of the 600+ episodes) to hopefully a swift copy-paste bulk operation.

Col Needham, or someone else?

Best, Mads

@Bethanny​ Excellent!

I can see that the 4 episodes have already been moved.

Looking forward to seeing the season changes, too.

Again, thanks for looking into this.

Best, Mads
