Display of Keyword Categories on IMDb Web

We are pleased to announce that Franchise keywords are now contributable.

You can contribute these via the “Edit” buttons on title main pages, or via new a “Add” button on keyword subpages. You will now see a new “Franchise” option under the “Category” drop-down menu. This is available on both IMDb web and apps.
