The “Credit only” situation
It has always struck me as unfair and quite deceptive actually, for tv series particularly, how the “credit only” credits are displayed. If a person is credited for all episodes of a series but appears in none of them, they are still listed at the top of the cast list, above those who actually contr

Things that make IMDb easier to use
I live in an area that have frequent power failures so why not implement a function that automatically save the text input (every 1 minute?) when we users are writing a review. As it is now, we lose everything when the power goes down (as it did write this) and we must start all over again! Even if

cast and crew verification should have evidence upload
Many of the update forms have an evidence upload link. The form for confirming that cast and/or crew are complete does not have that option. If it had, I could upload the PDF I have of the full end credits of a TV episode which I used to add and correct all the cast and crew. I could also upload the

We've all been here before: just minutes after submitting a data contribution to IMDb, we realize that our contribution was in error. Yet the erroneous contribution may remain pending multiple days before i

Make all languages selectable as “Language” instead of hiding many as “Attributes”
It is not helpful to hide the actual language a film is in as an “Attribute”, which does not seem to be visible unless one goes to make a correction. Many of the language selections are not even proper terms or language families — “Central American Indian”? And “Aboriginal” is an imprecise term of v

Inconsistent Usage of the Film Noir Genre Tag
So even before the new genres were added IMDb had Film Noir called out as a separate genre tag; I agree it should be called out as a separate genre; however, I have not seen it applied consistently. To start at the top, there is no precise definition for Film Noir though most would agree that styliz

Please make the movie lists csv file additionally include the movie's country / countries
Hi it would be very handy and useful in order to classify or filter the movies, to include the field "Country" in the csv file that we download / export containing our lists. Can you please make it? I am sure you can ; ) Thanks! Manu

Order of credits of people in photos
It would be great if the credits of the actors in photos were in the same order as they appear in the photo.

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.
