It's no longer M.P.A.A. - Since 2019, it's just M.P.A.

The organization previously known as "Motion Picture Association of America" changed its name officialy in September 2019 to "Motion Picture Association," eliminating the "of America" part. This change is explained in the official website of the M.P.A. thus: https://www.motionpictures.org/who-we-are

Plot summary formatting restrictions incompatible with certain types of content

I wish to update the episode listings of "Friday Night Videos" with episode information. Given the format of this show, the episode information essentially breaks down to a list of music videos. The formatting of "plot summary" converts new lines to spaces, turning a list into a long string of text,

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

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

Add the ability for contributors to cancel their pending contributions

Proposal: IMDb should add the ability for contributors to cancel their pending contributions. We've all been here before: just minutes after submitting a data contribution to IMDb, we realize that our contribution was in error.

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
