keyword for adaptations
What keyword is commonly used to describe when a title is the only element shared with a sourced literature, which entirely differs in its plot? Also, what keyword describes an adaptation that's fairly faithful except set against a different period or setting? Thanks.

I tried to add the keyword 'fabric' to a title, and discovered to my amazement that it is automatically revised to 'fbi'. I'm really not sure what one has to do with the other; I'm sure the backstory is fascinating.

Included in the keyword search should be a "recent addition" section for each keyword with an extensive number of movies listed. It would then be possible to quickly ascertain which movies had been added recently without the need to scroll through a large list trying to find out the new additions.

Keywords are supposed to be singular, so should a keyword like based-on-real-people even exist? Shouldn't it be merged and redirected to based-on-real-person?
