Typos in a Help section

Hello,

You have typos in the Help section related to the Press Interviews one.

Written: 

1+2, 11-12
1+2, 3, 7-11.

Must be: 

1-2, 11-12
1-2, 3, 7-11.

Please see the screenshots below.

They're definitely typos, because there's the IMDb guideline I found which describes the same rules.

Firstly I thought it's another bibliographic standard or something, since I'm not Anglo-Saxon. You made me smile. Maybe I'm the only person who use those "?" sections.

Best,

Viktor

"1-3, 5, 7-11" even.

Because "1-2, 3" is the same as "1-3". Hello?

It seems that I forgot to tell you that there's another issue in the section.

Written:

1-2, 3, 7-11.

Must be:

1-2, 5, 7-11.

The number 3 can't go after a comma, because it should go with a hypen after the number 2. So the number should be corrected.

Please see again the guideline where everything is fine https://help.imdb.com/article/contribution/names-biographical-data/biographical-data-guidelines/GMT9T242VQADZUQM#interviews

I agree with Viktor. I raised a similar issue years ago and the staff decision was that consecutive page numbers should be connected with hyphens, not plus signs. I don't recall where that discussion took place, though.
