Show a warning when adding an "alternate language version of" movie connection
An "alternate language version of" movie connection is applied, as described in the submission guide, to titles that "were made concurrently using the same sets and sometimes overlapping cast/crews", which was common during the early talkie era but then went obsolete a long time ago. However, if you search for titles with this type of movie connection, you will find a lot of recent titles which "alternate language version of" connections are mistakenly attached to.
These examples must have been added by inexperienced contributors unaware of the rule, so here's what I suggest: Implement a warning like "An 'alternate language version of' movie connection must be added only to titles that were made concurrently using the same sets and sometimes overlapping cast/crews, which is now an obsolete practice. Are you sure?" which the contributor must acknowledge and tick a check box before sending such a connection.
