Keywords "automatically fixed" per IMDb rules?
I just tried to add the keyword "coronavirus-pandemic" to a TV episode, and it was automatically changed to "covid-19."This is the first time that I've seen this, but it seems like a good way to help reduce keyword sprawl and the need to merge keywords.

IMDb staff: Please delete and block these keywords. First is an oddly formatted keyword exclusive to wrestling titles: bruises-and-bruises (145 titles) Next are a few random keywords that will apply to the vast majority (I would guess at least 90%) of titles, so it makes little sense to allow these

Good question. Well, maybe the keywords "hardcore" and "softcore" should be replaced respectively with the keywords "hardcore-erotica" and "softcore-erotica" in addition to making pattern "-erotica" a subgenre of the "adult" genre.
