In Progress

The word "version" in "Technical specifications" should not be considered redundant?

I noticed that, apparently, the IMDb update system now automatically deletes the word "version", entered by contributors, from the category "Technical specifications", subcat "Runtime", as if it's redundant, or taken for granted.

However, this can lead to awkward specs, such as the one I entered for the documentary  "Het ondergronds orkest"

The wording shown becomes:

Runtime

  • 1h 48m(108 min) (United States)
  • 1h(60 min) (Arte shorter) (France)

which is of course meant as "shorter version (aired by) Arte TV".

Any suggestions, if I'm correct, how to change this, or reinstate the explicit "version" spec?

Hi @Richard_J -

I'm currently confirming the details regarding how we display multiple running times with the appropriate team, once I have the relevant information I will update you here.
