*Goofs*
GoofsI would personally like it much more if "Goofs" were changed to "Interesting oversights" and/or "trivial oversights" as many of the so called "goofs" aren't really goofs at all. Many require freeze frame, and others would be seen more as interesting than "goofs". Perhaps a new category "debunki

New categories needed for greater accuracy?
I've seen this debated before, with the issue between whether IMDb can keep ahead of popular trends and whether it's a viable portal of information. I guess both would be nice, somewhere in between. I was looking at this profile of Louise Jameson: https://www.imdb.com/name/nm0417062/?ref_=ra_sb_l

title manipulations
The number of manipulated titles are increasing in IMDB, a site I use daily. Most gaming platforms now use 2 step verification system which requires the user to add a phone number to their accounts. I think to decrease the number of fake votes, this should be implemented.

Ability to choose term actor or actress without changing gender
Currently, in order to change all of my credits to say actor instead of actress, I would have to change my gender to male. I don’t identify as a man but I like using the term actor over actress.

With the recent developement regarding the "Batgirl" movie and it's cancellation I think it's time we add a category for "cancelled" projects that have been completed. I've seen people ask more than once about the status of cancelled pilots (like "Marvel's Most Wanted" Marvel's Most Wanted (Fernseh
