Someone changed some keywords and I'm curious which should be correct

As of a couple of days ago, there were keywords "black-panther-character" and "black-widow-character". Someone seems to have changed these to "black-panther-the-character" and "black-widow-the-character". This seems to be inconsistent and against the guide.Per the guide: "-character Used to denote a

@gromit82​ Agreed. Such is the problem with many of the official subgenre keywords, which seem to have been labeled rather arbitrarily and in many cases in conflict with the rest of the guidelines. I'm thinking of keywords like "whodunnit-myste

Error with adding subgenre keyword "kids-family"

One of the official subgenre keywords recently added is "kids-family", for family movies specifically aimed at kids. However, when trying to add this keyword to a title, a strange error occurs. The keyword is automatically rejected as "not valid" due to being "too subjective". To check and see if I

Loaded keywords

I was watching "Call Me By Your Name" tonight and the story (of which I have also read the book) is about a gay love affair between a 17 year old boy and a 22ish male border. Someone added the keyword "pedophilia". Nothing in this story is even close to pedophilia. Pedophilia is an attraction to pre

Why do certain KEYWORDS keep declining despite already being included in your database?

I've tried twice now to include the tag 'lesbian-couple' onto a movie centered around the relationship between a lesbian couple in a horror movie. Both times rejected.  The tag 'lesbian-couple' is used on 951 other titles (including the TV show Friends oddly and even a children's cartoon).&nbs
