Add a button to name and title pages to copy the contribution link text to the clipboard
I would like to see a button on name and title pages that will automatically copy the contribution link text ([link={key}]) to the clipboard. This would make it much easier (and probably more accurate) to insert links to other titles or people into contributions.

Site needs better submission refusal reasons
The site really needs to start telling people exactly WHY submissions are refused. The 'does not mean guidelines' is useless because it can mean anything under the sun. I have a continuity goof I've tried to submit three times now, there is nothing wrong with it at all, and each time I've been given

Would IMDB like to be the primary website for people attending the Toronto Film Festival?
You could skyrocket traffic for your TIFF 2024 page if you would make the movies filterable by program and include some additional data for the entries.

Tracking of episode title and number additions/corrections
Episode title and number additions/changes are one of the few items of data that don't get reported in the confirmation email for a submission or in the imdb.com/updates/history page for a submission. Is it possible to add them so they get tracked just like all other data - particularly if there is

Why is "Release Type" not required when submitting a TV episode, but when fixing?
I was fixing episodes 1/2 (which imdb also had as "11"), as they did not premiere in 2020, but 2022. I also submitted 3 as 2020 by accident then realized the errors. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/A_Love_Never_Lost (yes, it is Wikipedia, easier than linking to some Chinese websites to back up my clai

Aggregate Amazon reviews the IMDb reviews so they're all in both places
It would be highly beneficial for film and TV makers along with users and audiences if the reviews for a title on Amazon would be aggregated and combined with the reviews for that same title on IMDb.
