I'm not sure what the preferred spelling is going to be. I don't really care if it tsar (my preference) or czar but these keywords should be combined: tsar-nicholas-ii-character tsar-nicholas-ii-of-russia-character czar-nicholas-ii czar-nicholas-ii-of-russia czar-nicholas-ii-character czar-nichol

IMDb staff: Please fix these issues with "covid-19" keywords

IMDb staff: The keyword "covid-19-pandemic" currently auto-converts to "covid-19." I disagree with that auto-conversion, since these two keywords are two different things: "covid-19" is the disease itself, while "covid-19-pandemic" is the worldwide crisis that we have all been experiencing the pa

These vague, generic keywords should be deleted and blocked from IMDb ("subject," "object," "item," "event(s)," "episode(s)")

Dear IMDb staff: These very vague, generic, and bland keywords should all be deleted and blocked from the system. Each of these keywords could apply to the vast, vast majority of titles on IMDb. The keywords are so vague and broad as to be useless. They should be deleted and blocked. Keywords

The ludicrous "new subgenres" continue to be deplorable

It is now impossible to delete the ludicrous "new subgenres" as keywords when they are incorrect! They are apparently protected, even when they are wrong.
