The "IMDb Answers" feature

There are always questions on the movie and TV pages Like "What is the title of this movie in India"? Why would you ask someone whose profile and IP address clearly says Australia?

This is just page clutter if there's no point in asking me questions I could probably answer!

Hello memeweaver,

FAQ can include questions about the plot, the motivations of the characters, fan theories, other media relating to the title, questions to the community and more. Please remember, different people have different views. We understand not everyone will agree on what should be added to an FAQ.

If you notice bad data on the site, help us by correcting the data, but do not report an item if you simply don't agree it should be included but is good to add/have live.

This post is about the IMDb Answers/Data Gaps feature, which appears on title pages under the header Contribute to this page.

Hi memeweaver

Can you help me rephrasing your question? it is a bit difficult without any details, or link that can help us identify what is the problem you have.

@Fran​   I am guessing you don't use the site. Peter_pbn also understood and explained it.

Choosing a film at random https://www.imdb.com/title/tt0095305/

I also get asked questions about plot outlines in languages I don't know e.g. " What is the Hindi language plot outline for Ketua BEM and His Secret Wife (2022)?".

@memeweaver​ I like your idea of focusing these questions based on IP address. I don't think a single time that I have ever seen one of these questions I knew the answer.

Hi @memeweaver -

Sorry for the misunderstanding, we know what page you are referring to now. We are checking if this is a possibility or if it should actually be working by location. Will let you know once we have an answer.

Cheers!

@Bethanny​ Any update on this? I'm still getting asked questions specifically about India on very page. India, a country in another hemisphere that I have never visited, yet IMDB thinks I am a subject matter expert on.

Hi @memeweaver -

I'm just following up here to confirm that the questions asked in "IMDb Answers" is not based on location and every user see's the same question lists.

I hope this helps

First day on the internet? Do you not know how anything works? These are "top questions" which fills in data they do not have. It doesn't think you actually know (which according to your post you know nothing) but is hoping you can fill in missing data.
