IMDb Name Page Redesign

Since the November 2022 IMDb Name Page Redesign, I noticed that the Self credits disappeared on many people pages. For instance, if they appeared on a talk show as a guest, on a reality show as a judge or in historical video, those credit acknowledgements no longer appear on their IMDb page. For example, America's Best Dance Crew does not appear as a credit on the Lil Mama profile page but she appears as a cast member on the program page. https://www.imdb.com/name/nm2674657/ https://www.imdb.com/title/tt1145872/reference It makes the Name Pages incomplete and I miss that information. I’ve discovered unknown other places to see my favorites. Thanks Note: This comment was created from a merged conversation originally titled Self and Missing Credits on Name Profile Pages

When searching for an actor, the list of their movies now does not show the ratings, you have to click on the 'info' button. Why was it deemed an improvement to hide that information away? Surely getting that info at a glance was better? Note: This comment was created from a merged conversation originally titled Website layout - Hidden Ratings

I'm not sure if this is a bug or I'm missing something here, I added the first acting credit of this page: https://www.imdb.com/name/nm9737833/ And acting category says "Credits excluded. Update filter selections.". No idea why. I think this also happened on another page I added first credit of a category but I can't remember the name of that one now.

Please revise the standard Name page settings AWAY from the default 3-or-less categories "selected" to display. This makes it look as if everyone / anyone on IMDb has only worked in at most 3 categories. The default view should be to show ALL categories containing credits, and users could then be able de-select whichever job categories they do not want to see. Literally every name page I land on, I have to go through the process of scrolling (too far) down the page to find credits, de-selecting all pre-selected groups (Click, Click, Click) which releases all categories to be shown, and then I have to click Collapse Below in order to see a full list of credits by category. I don't know what kind of dumbed-down version of the internet the IMDb Gods decided they had to offer the public, but I thought IMDb has always been about delivering full and accurate information, not some algorithmically truncated slice of the pie. Truly hoping the Powers That Be here give us back the full strength of this database sometime soon. In the meantime, I will keep perusing the various competitor sites to see if anyone else gets it right first.

The Personal Details section on name pages includes birth dates, but the edit link next to it leads to a selection of data types that doesn't include birth date.

In "Known for" and on IMDbPro, occupations with company names of the type "visual effects editor: RISE" are displayed as "visual effects editor (RISE)". Perhaps that is why I am starting to see more examples of the company being entered as an attribute instead of in the occupation field.

(Not sure if this has been discussed among the 16 pages of posts here.) Why is the attribute (uncredited) not visible on the primary page? You can see it when clicking on the info (i) icon, but why not include it up front? Here are 2 presentations of an extreme example: https://www.imdb.com/name/nm0868177/ versus https://www.imdb.com/name/nm0868177/fullcredits

Hi, I recently had my first additional crew credit and it's coming up as 'Credits excluded. Update filter selections.' And I want to fix it so it can be seen- how do I do this? this is my page here: https://www.imdb.com/name/nm14001223/?ref_=nv_sr_srsg_0_tt_1_nm_7_q_Amie%2520Page

Most of my ratings of titles vanish after returning to the name page using the browser's Back feature (back mouse button) at this page in the Actor section: https://www.imdb.com/name/nm0000354/ Initial "text-align: center;"> After returning from a title I had not rated: Similar results from this page: https://www.imdb.com/name/nm0000026/ Using Chrome 115 on Windows 11. Also happens to the same 2 titles with the coloring extension turned off.

I think this is a glitch but name pages no longer display uncredited status. The title pages indicate whether an actor or crew member was uncredited but their name pages no longer do so. I would like to think this was not intentional and will need fixing. Note: This comment was created from a merged conversation originally titled Name pages no longer display uncredited status

This is TERRIBLE! I can’t believe that imdb thinks it is a good idea to summarize people’s credits! When foreign film folks apply for a US artist visa (O1), visa officers look at our imdb pages! They need to see all credits at once without digging through to find them. Do you know why? BECAUSE THEY WON’T! They don’t know that some of the credits are hidden and they need to filter things. They’re not gonna know how to navigate it and they’ll reject applications or ask for more evidence. It took ME several correspondences with the customer service to find my hidden credits and I have been on imdb for years, how are the officers gonna even try to figure out this “new” feature?!!! Do you know how many visa applications you’re going to ruin and how much time and money you’re gonna cost to visa applicants! DO YOU KNOW HOW MANY DREAMS YOU’RE GONNA CRUSH?!!!! This is terrible, terrible terrible terrible… This is “I’m expecting lawsuits” level terrible…

Hello, I have a decent credit list in IMDB, and often my list is used by other professionals to look me up. I noticed that the credits list now contains a rating. This is a really bad idea, because that now gives the impression that THAT rating is a reflection of the quality of my work. For example, the movie Torque, had excellent sound work done for it, but the movie overall was not a good one - it is rated a 4.1... but, it now looks like I did a 4.1 quality sound job on it... and it VERY much looks like a black eye on my credit list... even though it is not... it was a sound job that I want on my credits list... because it was much better than the 4.1 If you are going to put a rating in the credits list, then we need to be able to hide certain ones from the public, because rating is not necessarily reflective of the quality of our specific work. This rating in the list is a HUGE detriment to us, and weakens my desire to use IMDB to show my credits list to my clients. I personally feel that ratings have no business being in the database to begin with. Can you please respond to this.

There’s a fundamental problem with the categories available. I was just looking up Jennifer Lopez, and all her Music video entries appear under the Actor category. This is obviously wrong as she was appearing as the character “Jennifer Lopez” in all these “Movies”. It makes trying to find a movie in which she played a particular character very difficult. There needs to be another category to cover for when actors are being themselves, like in music videos, or interviews, or awards ceremonies.
