New category: Collections
I would like to see IMDb add a new category called "Collections." (@Michelle thought this idea might be worth its own thread.)
Collections would group together titles in a more efficient, versatile and dynamic way than the Movie Connections can.
There could be a "Star Wars" Collection with all the Star Wars movies; a "Three Stooges" Collection with all the Three Stooges shorts; a "Tom and Jerry" Collection for all the Tom and Jerry shorts, etc.
We could have overlapping Collections, e.g. "Star Wars - All Related Titles," "Star Wars - All Theatrical Movies," and "Star Wars - The Skywalker Saga."
Each item in a Collection would link to the IMDb page for the title.
And each item would allow only for bare-bones information about the title: maybe a single image and a few notes.
Collections would allow us to collect series within series, typically animated shorts. For example, the "Tooter Turtle" cartoons are segments within two different TV series, "King Leonardo and His Short Subjects" and "Tennessee Tuxedo and His Tales." Wikipedia and Big Cartoon Database have a means of collecting series like this, but IMDb does not. (See the list of Tooter Turtle cartoons on Wikipedia and Big Cartoon Database.) A "Tooter Turtle" Collection would list the titles of the cartoons and link to the episodes they came from.
There's a great need for this new category, as evidenced by multiple contributors who try to create fake TV series in order to collect movies shorts and TV movies.
This is an improved update on a previous idea. I'd love to hear your feedback.

@jay_spirit I moved your suggestion to the imdb.com forum. You had posted it at the IMDb poll forum where this kind of suggestion was out of place.

Any staff going to respond to or acknowledge this? I go into more detail about the massive issue this would solve here (of mass spam submissions of fake "TV-series").
