IMDb Categories
I know there is a growing number of individuals like myself who work as Publicists, Unit Publicists who would LOVE IT, if IMDb were to create an independent category for us versus being piled in the MISCELLANEOUS CREW option. We spend countless many working hours (often times 12-14hr days... 7 days

Make list of trivia, quotes and reviews more efficient
I suggest to create a ratio to autohide contributions that have passed a specific number of negative feedback, so the list of data is more efficient and not so long. I've noticed in the past year for sure that, for instance, there has been an abuse in trivia regarding actors connections to other mov
