The main problem with this is that, when doing the tedious process of title-by-title auditing, many other keyword and genre mistakes are revealed -- and they need corrections, additions and/or deletions. Yes, this is very time-consuming, but it make
Should these genre keywords be banned?
One of the few rules about keywords is that genre keywords are not allowed. (Sub-genres are allowed.) The keywords listed below are de facto genre keywords that probably should be banned. But it would also make sense to first "audit" these keywords as best as possible. For example, for some of the t

Sorry Bradley, but neither example that you gives provides a compelling interest to change IMDb to use "the-character".First, (and again) "-character" is a specialized keyword for IMDb. What precedes it should be a nearly ubiquitous name. So, "robin-

If a title is a documentary or reality TV or whatever I understand that the cast shows up as Self. But if it's a Action/Comedy/Horror and the cast does not mention Self anywhere why would they show up listed as Self on their own pages?

@Skavau How does deletion work? If I were to add "Dystopia" to Black Sails, which is plainly and obviously inaccurate, would a staff member have to delete it? Any other user can delete that keyword. To delete one or more keywords, just go to
Keywords: Allow public voting and downvoting. Allow the wider community to decide what gets tagged.
Is anyone here familiar with rateyourmusic? It's a music cataloging site. It has a very specific way of tagging content. Here's an example. You can see on this link that the album is tagged as "Merseybeat" and "Pop Rock". This isn't tagged by moderators who review tags, but by the users of the websi
