News Suggestion: Opa Peter, erzähl doch mal ...
If you re-design the IMDb-page for each language, you could also bring news of each country. Got a new one for Germany. There is a German Blogger aged 100 who tells of his life. The Third Reich, his family, religion. That are also worthy news. The Blog: Opa Peter, erzähl doch mal ... (Wordpress.

Guideline request: Episode edits
It is possible to submit an edit to change the title type of an episode in the way I mention here. I know about this functionality because there was an announcement about it once, but it is not mentioned anywhere in any help features. It would be helpful to add information in the Episode Title/Nu

I'd like to see my stats
I probably should not be suggesting this because they might implement it and then it would reinforce people's social media addiction, which is a bad enough problem already. The whole evil dopamine cycle you know. Fishing for the likes. But I would really like to be able to see the "ratings" of my

Why we need to put mainstream Hollywood and foreign film IMDB pages on lockdown.
To the IMDB staff and users, recently when I tried to add John Wayne credit to Star Wars IV, I'm unable to. I don't know what happened to Star Wars: Episode IV - A New Hope (1977), Full Cast & Crew to get it locked down. I assume it was past vandalism that caused it to be on lockdown. An

Preview/Trailer Video Subtitles or Dubbed Selection

All of the adult(porn) pages, movies, links, actors, actress, ... should be deleted from IMDB. When there are adult pages here, it means we are making them official. This website is checked by

When creating new keywords, the "did you mean?" suggestions should include the number of titles in parentheses for each existing keyword
This post involves the process by which a contributor tries to add a previously non-existing keyword on IMDb to a title. Since the keyword doesn't already exist and the contributor is essentially creating a new keyword, the system will suggest existing keywords that might be a better fit (or that th

costume-drama (subgenre) should be described as fiction
As a subgenre, "costume-drama" is defined by IMDb as: "A drama set between the middle ages and the start of World War I." To clearly differentiate costume-drama from "costume-drama-history", I suggest changing the description to: "A fictional drama set between the middle ages and the start of World

Subgenres should not be types of Keywords
A year ago I posted this thread. In it, I argued that IMDB should transition to an upvote/downvote system of applying keywords for titles. It was mostly disliked and rejected by commentors there for fear that factual keywords would be voted off of profiles (a possibility, albeit under that system an
