Music video title formatting
As indicated at https://help.imdb.com/article/contribution/titles/title-formatting/G56U5ERK7YY47CQB#, the formatted title of a music video on IMDb should be in the following format:
Artist/Band: Title (year) (Music Video)
Example:
Justin Bieber: Ghost (2021) (Music Video)
This implies that every music video entered into the database ought to have a colon in the main title to separate the artist name from the song title. However, not all of them do. Here are some examples:
Tere Bin (2024/II) (Music Video)
Blinka Lilla Oskar Tyberg (2024) (Music Video)
Had to Fall (2024) (Music Video)
Khan Sahab (2024) (Music Video)
Rab Ne Milaya Kyun (2024) (Music Video)
I suggest that if someone attempts to submit a music video to the database, and the entry as submitted does not include a colon in the title, they should get a warning along the following lines: "Music video titles on IMDb must be in the following format: Artist/Band: Title (year) (Music Video). Your title entry does not include a colon to separate the artist/band from the title, which suggests that either the artist/band or song title may be missing." Whether this should be a yellow (bypassable) or red (non-bypassable) warning, I will leave up to the staff.

I'm going to bump this thread by adding some more examples to the list.
Down the breeze (2023) (Music Video)
Latka (2023) (Music Video)
My Dream (2023) (Music Video)
Sky High (2023) (Music Video)
Teri Aadat - 2 (2023) (Music Video)
Now that I think about it, the warning that a title entry for a music video must contain a colon should probably be a red (non-bypassable) warning.

And here are some more.
In the End (2021) (Music Video)
Panixiya (2021) (Music Video)
2 States (A Love Story) (2021) (Music Video)
Machhli (2021) (Music Video)
Touching Light (2021) (Music Video)
There are at least four possible reasons why these music videos may have been entered incorrectly:
I suspect that #1 and #3 are the most common problems we are dealing with, but any of these could be the situation.
