Character Limit on Company Names

Just wondering if there's a reason for allowing only so many characters, as often I'll be adding departments or institutions with titles longer than allowed. Sometimes they'll fit perfectly but then the Country ISO code won't fit on. So often I'm truncating them and writing in to have them staff alt

Spoilers for other films

I honestly don't know if this is a Problem or an Idea, but here goes.So, I'm reading the trivia for "I Know What You Did Last Summer (1997)," after I'd rewatched it, and come across someone who thought it was good spoiler trivia to reveal the killer or killers in ALL the films, BY NAME. I submitted

Nonsense number of images for a movie

Is there a limit to the pics that can be added to a movie? I think that there should be one. Its easy to find movies like "Mad Max: Fury Road" with numbers as huge as 3300 images... It is a nonsense. At 24 fps that would be more than 2 hours... probably longer than the film itself, Also, there are t

Allow other works to be re-ordered

Hi. "Other Works" section is a pretty good place to add commercials, radio, theater, books, music videos (edit: does not belong to ”Other Works”), audio recordings (edit: podcasts does not belong to ”Other Works”), etc - BUT it still doesn't support year order. Based on the older thread about two ye

Pet peeve - plot outline, plot summary, and "just" synopsis in update form

I know it's a very minor issue, but in the updating form, it says Plot Outlines, Plot Summaries and Synopsis. Can the word "plot" be added to Synopsis as well please? It's more consistent that way. Also, it's more clear I feel. They way it is listed now, it kinda suggests the Synopsis is not part of

New attribute for cast members should be added

I have a new idea that should have already been added to IMDb attributes for cast members. The idea that I am talking about is that a new attribute called understudies should be added onto IMDb. This is due to the fact that multiple theatre performances on IMDb like spirited away live on stage, life

Add Hungarian AKA titles

There are translations of the films in every language, but there is no Hungarian language. Read a lot of Hungarian. Please do a Hungarian translation as well. Thank you.

Contribution Tracking Page - Web Design Suggestion

Hey folks! I was a little confused when the chevron next to "more about title statuses" did not expand. I would suggest using a different icon like maybe a little info one? That way people won't think it's broken like I did at first. Also, a little left padding or margin would look good :)

Separate pages for different seasons of anthology television!

I think IMDb should separate seasons of anthology television, like True Detective and American Horror Story. It is very difficult to find an actor when there are multiple seasons with completely different casts. The star of one season can be buried after so many. It wouldn't make sense to group a mo

Sub-genre additions question.

Are sub-genre additions counted towards a badge or are they not counted like keywords? I'm just curious.
