series incorrectly shown as film
"Endangered Species" (2024) is incorrectly shown as a 90 minute film, when it is in fact a series of 6 45 minute episodes. The correct total length (270 minutes) is shown under "film length", but the length appears as 90 minutes on the main page. I don't see any way to change this entry from a film to a series. How should I proceed?

rsbrux: If this is for Espèce menacée (2024) at https://www.imdb.com/title/tt32891170/ , then the "film length" is probably completely incorrect. The "film length" at https://www.imdb.com/title/tt32891170/technical/ is shown as "270 m", but that does not mean minutes. It means meters. (See https://help.imdb.com/article/contribution/titles/technical-data/GXW9DNC824AHENDF# where the Film Length item is explained.) A 35mm film that was 270 meters long would only run about 10 minutes. To change this film to a TV series instead, you would need a Title Correction. Go to the page for the film and click "Edit page". On the next screen, scroll down to the Title Correction line and select "Add correction". Click "Continue". On the next screen, there will be a blank line on which to enter the corrected title. Enter it as: "Espèce menacée" (2024) (Note that the quotation marks are needed to identify the title as a TV series.) You will be required to provide an explanation. Explain that this is a TV series, not a film, and provide a URL with evidence to show that it really is a TV series. Click "Check these updates". On the next screen, you will get a warning that begins, "There is a mismatch between the title type of the old and new titles. ..." Check the box marked "Warning understood, go ahead anyway." Click "Re-check these updates". On the next screen, your data should appear with a green background and you should be able to click "Submit these updates". Allow a few days for the correction to go through. Good luck!
