A couple of bugs pertaining to soundtrack credits
There seems to be a couple of bugs relating to soundtrack credits. The first may just be an oversight. First, if you go to a name page, you cannot edit soundtrack credits from there.

Displaying the roman numerals associated with titles
When there are two or more films in the same year with the exact same title, IMDb distinguishes them with a roman numeral in the official IMDb title, with the year in parentheses being followed by a slash and the roman numeral.

User reviews > 👍Helpful / 👎Unhelpful
"👍Helpful / 👎Unhelpful" may suggest the original intention of the User Reviews -- to help other people determine whether they should watch a movie or not. But I don't think that's what the thumbs Up/Down are being used for anymore. For the most part, I think there's a lot of tapping on Helpful or

Separate Sections for Producer Types
I believe that financial producers and day-to-day producers on a project should be listed separately. At this time, the producers, EPs, and co-EPs are all in the same section. These are incredibly distinct roles, as outlined in the DPA's crediting guidelines: https://www.documentary.org/sites/defaul

Dog warnings
I'd like to suggest adding warnings to shows that contain any kind of dog violence. Example: John Wick. Would have liked to know about the doggie dying before I watched. I was traumatized :(
