profile photos
Any chance of you designating someone to whom profile photos of deceased / pre-1945 actors / actresses may be submitted? I have run across so many Silent film era stars who have no profile foto. They're long gone and will never have a profile foto per your current Pro-account only submission policy,

Show full principal cast billing order on title pages
Currently, public title pages only display the first 3 names from a title's principal billing (e.g. the Top Stars section) before switching to a separately-keyed "cast in order of appearance" list. This means performers billed from #4 on the principal cast card can appear to have a lower billing pos

Movie reviews are broken on many fronts
I feel passionate about the written review and this time I shall tell everything wrong about the system and would love to see atleast one of these problems fixed quickly. 1) Review process takes seemingly random times.

Should IMDb Change How It Handles Incorrect "Ghost Credits"?
I’ve been thinking about how IMDb handles long-standing credits that may be incorrect, especially for older and lesser-known films. Sometimes a performer is listed in a movie even though dedicated fans, collectors, or researchers have carefully reviewed the film and cannot find that person anywhere

Allow comments when reporting
For “Ralph wrecks the internet” in the Parent section, there is a tiny comment like “bunny is over-fed and explodes off-screen.” This is a huge understatement of what really happens. Our 8yo daughter felt so sad for the bunny—I wish we didn’t watch the credits—and I want to warn other parents. What

Add preview function to editing contributions
I recently was making a new contribution to a trivia item, and was linking a few movie/person profiles. It provides feedback on what may be wrong with your post, but if it doesn't recognize something, it won't show you that it's wrong. In this case, I'd done the following: _Show Title_ (qv). Since I

Tidying Up the Database
A couple of suggestions to help out contributors: There are many orphaned profiles. These are usually created due to a credit being renamed to another profile leaving the original one empty. Could I suggest that if a profile has no credits or bio whatsoever for more than a year, the profile is purge

Adding new languages in the 'Language' drop-down menu
Due to the fact that I cannot add the language Murui Huitoto in the documentary The Lost Children (2024) page, I'd like to suggest the possibility for the user to enter new languages in the 'Language' drop-down menu since the new entry will be analyzed by a moderator like anyway.
