Remove duplicate attributes with spelling / format variations in contribution menus

This is an example of a recurrent problem that IMDb is well aware of, but has been unable to solve: the presence in the Attributes listing (that users must consult before they enter a new one) has been constructed by successive additions, and never revised under a criteria (for instance, always use

PEGI ratings

The PEGI ratings are used in multiple countries, and a game like Halo 3 (tt0494232) currently lists the PEGI rating for 4 countries. But it might be more optimal to instead include 5 (or 6) new ratings for IMDb: Europe:3, Europe:7, Europe:12, Europe:16, Europe:18 (and Europe:!) which can be used for

submitting goofs

when submitters describe where a goof is located by saying "if one was to look closely", it may not be sufficient enough so may I suggest submitters rephrase it to " the goof can be found approximately one hour, thirty-two minutes, and ten seconds", or rephrase it to "if one were to pause the film a

Create individual sub-heading for PRODUCTION SERVICE COMPANIES

Yes, I do work at one but bias and pride aside, I would have thought it would make sense all round to extract the Production Service company (or companies) from the OTHER COMPANIES and create a new heading just for them either immediately above or below DISTRIBUTORS. After all, everyone else listed

Time for the Archive Footage guide to be updated

With the proliferation (i.e. unrestrained glut) of "archive footage" cast entries for non-fiction TV programs, I think it's time for the current guide on Archive Footage entries to get a major overhaul, as it was likely written to deal primarily with films: https://help.imdb.com/article/contribut

SQL scripts provided by IMDB?

Dear IMDB community, Someone I know made a suggestion to IMDB, and the friendly and caring IMDB responder suggested to make a post on this forum. I am here to create that post. The IMDB responder communicated about a vote that could be held in the thread, so as to gauge interest and the like, whi

Credit on IMDB

I have done a number of dubbing jobs for Netflix and would like them credited on my IMDB. I know at present these performances are not actionable listings. I implore IMDB to change the policy in this regard. Dubbing a role originated in another language is a unique creative expression all it's own.

Your Contribution History (Beta) - only lists episode name and not series name

I've just looked at the new beta version of the Contribution History page: Your Contribution History (Beta). I have one suggestion: it would be a good idea for television episodes if the series name as well as the episode name was listed. This is particularly true where an episode has not been gi

Title declined. No field for "Explanation for missing information"

I filled out the "new title" form with over 40 something little bits of information, and when I checked the title status, it was declined. I see I had to do more to prove the existence of the film.  The instructions suggest either adding a miscellaneous link with third party coverage, or an ex
