Solved

Some user keeps turning titles which are not TV series into TV series and IMDB keeps approving them until I revert. How to stop this?

Pretty much all in the title.

Some contributor on IMDB has seemingly made it their mission to turn everything they can into TV series, with their edits approved by IMDB staff until I stumble upon one of these and revert the tites back to individual TV movies or theatrical films....only to stumble upon the same titles a few months later to see the person had again transformed them into TV series.

This is EXTREMELY tiring. Is there nothing that can be done to stop this? Is there no way to "lock" a title as a TV movie or as a theatrical film so someone won't come afterwards to change the title type on a whim?

@Maya​ Thank you, I will await the reply. The Wonderful Word of Disney is another "TV series" where most of the "episodes" are just individual TV movies, like Life-Size with Lindsay Lohan, Princess of Thieves with Keira Knightley, Angels in the Infield, Nancy Drew with Maggie Lawson, Home Alone 4, etc...

Hi @jean_morel​-

Apologies for the delay response on this issue. 

We can confirm that this issue is now resolved. All of these titles have now been changed back respectively as how they were released individual TV movies or movies. The changes are already live on the site for each film that was incorrectly added as an episode.

We appreciate the report and again, we apologize for any inconvenience this may have caused.

Cheers!

There's a mania among a large number contributors to create series where there are none.

I hope the staff is considering my idea, or coming up with a better one, to address this issue.
