Title Pages: Idea for surfacing a link to a newer version of a title
Background:
1) IMDb provides ways to associate related titles via "Connections" links.
2) In some cases, one title page might represent an early preliminary or incomplete version of a production in limited early release, while a second title page (if kept separate under IMDb rules) may represent what the producers regard as a finalized revision or a completed main release.
3) In some such cases, I think it might be helpful to provide a prominent link from an early release's main title-page header to the separate title page about the finalized version. Thus the proposed idea:
Idea:
Regarding "Connections" links in cases where one title page represents a preliminary or incomplete version in limited release, and where a separate title page represents a completed main release, consider allowing a link to be displayed in the main header of the early version's main title page, alerting users to visit the title page of the completed version.
(Source of inspiration: The idea came to mind when I noticed an Amazon feature that provides prominent links on some product listings to alert shoppers about the availability of "newer versions".)

On another note, shouldn't a title that is preliminary or incomplete just be listed as an Alternate Version, instead of a separate entry?
