Image categorization is entirely overdue. That, or scorecard permissions should be shared much more liberally to promote equal opportunity.
Scorecard helps de-clutter a lot on the site data-wise and also prevents the extremely ill-phrased "Publicity" filter/type on filmmakers' pages that is a result of self-uploading.Referring to self uploads as "publicity" is just ... wrong. It's not even the correct phrasing. Why on earth default it t

Label shell episodes and prevent new information from appearing on them
I'd like to see IMDb label shell episodes as such and prevent new information from appearing on them. The staff may want to disable editing capability (except for title, date, movie connections and trivia) on shell episodes and clearly label them as shells. All the shells are doing now is confuse us

Add production coordinators and team to the "Production Manager" department
Hello! As a production coordinator in the film industry I find it frustrating that my team and I have our credits put under 'Additional Crew', despite being full time and integral to the production.

Producer order in film credits
Hi Team IMDB. I can see from someone else's question a few months ago (and the IMDB response) that all types of producers are just listed alphabetically under Producers in the Crew section, and it's only Writers and Cast that can be reordered apparently. Could I please ask the Moderators to look at

Algorithms for "suggested people"?
I don't know much about algorithms - I can barely spell it - but I think we'd have a lot less "I'm not sure, let the IMDb staff decide..." and duplicates on the system if the suggestions that the system gives were a little more accurate, if this was possible...? I was adding a vision mixer with a ve
