@gromit82 Another good example. The "fictional-war" keyword should remain in existence, but it shouldn't be considered a subgenre of the War genre. Agreed. I feel the same way about the "alternate-history" keyword. I feel like whomever

IMDb Staff: Please delete and block these improper keywords ("bruises-and-bruises," "protagonist," "people," "issue," etc.)
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

Banned keywords reappearing in different guise

Add easier support for merging keywords
There needs to be an easy way to merge keywords when there are entries which are basically duplicates. Plenty of mere synonyms such as "marriage-problems", "marital discord" and "marital strife" would be more effective if there was a single entry. Only more specific entries like "marital argument" n

Move Plot Keywords off the main page as they can be spoilers
Plot Keywords often contain spoilers. Example: transsexual showing up on "The Crying Game" effectively hints at the entire point of the movie. There are plenty of other examplesIt seems like it would be best if spoilers were not on the main page?
