Vertical dramas /Vertical shorts/vertical movies - Is there an official way to mark/categorize them?

@kristin- Again, thank you for reporting and for the feedback! You are welcome to refer to our title eligibility guide for any general questions about if these titles are eligible based on our current criteria. https://help.imdb.com/article/contribution/titles/title-eligibility/G9V8J6AXTQ292S5W?ref_=helpsrall# As per categorizing/marking as "vertical" we currently do not support it. Therefore, we have modified this as an idea so we can tracK interest and other members can vote and comment.

@kristin While not (yet) official policy, several of these titles are now tagged with the plot keyword vertical-drama as an interim step -> https://www.imdb.com/search/title/?keywords=vertical-drama&explore=keywords You are welcome to add more; the keyword belongs in the "Other" category on the keyword contribution form. We may eventually move this to an Interest (see https://help.imdb.com/article/contribution/titles/interests/G4Q8HQTQJ6YZ7H7B)

Thank you. I did search for "Vertical" in keywords to find something to use, but there were many, so ended up starting using "vertical format" and "other" on the once I have seen, (I tried again now and "vertical drama" does not show up on the list if I search for "vertical" on the keyword search on the main page search field). If I search for "vertical drama" or "Vertical-drama" on the keyword search on the main paige the search results in 3 results, one of them being "vertical drama" 0 tiles? So something is strange her?

Thanks for the problem report on the discrepancy between the number of keyword matches on the search results page. We have reported this to the appropriate team.

@kristin The issue with the mismatched results has now been addressed. Thanks again for the problem report. The keyword now has over 600 titles: https://www.imdb.com/search/title/?keywords=vertical-drama&explore=keywords

@col_Needham Great! Thanks! However : If I go to IMDb main page, change from "all" to "keywords" in the search field on top and type inn "vertical drama" - enter, it says "188 titles". If I click on "vertical drama" in the results I get 728 titles. So something is still strange here.

Sorry about that. It was definitely fixed earlier in the week. We will re-report it again.

Yes we need an own category, impossible for people to know to add the correct key-word in the right category, and the unofficial way is not mentioned in any help pages either. (Tried to search for "vertical" again now in the help pages.)
