Title Images: Add "Publicity" as an option

IMDb should add the option of Publicity under "Select a Type" when adding images to Title pages. There is no direct option for this, for example, If i add images from a new TV show which shows all the characters in the show in their costumes etc (character image), there is no real option to add them under.

The current options are "Poster", "Still Frame", "Behind the scenes", "Event", "Product Art" and "Production Art" and as you can see, this does not fall under anything, most people end up adding it under "Poster" cause the image is in fact a "character poster" but that just changes the current "real " poster to a character poster so not really a good idea, one recent example is a chinese movie i added, Wukong with character posters which changed the official poster to one of the character poster, this is also an issue on TV series. Some people also add them under "Still Frame" which its  not since they are mostly promotional images to promote the show instead of direct stills from an episode and they are not "Behind the Scenes" either as it was taken professionally by the Production house to promote the product, not fans or cast/crew of the show/movie

I remember older shows having a Publicity section in their mediaindex (until IMDB decided to FORCE mediaviewer) so please add this option and just like other sections, put a limit on it for exmpale, Limit it to publicity images relating to the promotion of the show including character images and posters but not inclusive of actual "Official" posters released by the production company to promote the product which will go under the "poster" section but also allow "paid" images added under publicity to appear in name pages as well or become headshots if there isn't one provided.

"Ideas" don't necessarily get replies from IMDb, they are just considered as time allows. People should vote for the idea if they agree.
