Move Plot Keywords off the main page as they can be spoilers
Plot Keywords often contain spoilers. Example: transsexual showing up on "The Crying Game" effectively hints at the entire point of the movie. There are plenty of other examplesIt seems like it would be best if spoilers were not on the main page?

Cast Spoilers
Perhaps there could be a section in the cast list that contains spoilers? While recently finishing the first part of Stranger Things 4, I had an extremely huge and important plot point ruined for me because the cast list carelessly lists every actor's character names. Information which is typically

Flagging spoilers.
On the Goofs, Trivia, and Quotes pages, in addition to "Is this interesting?" and "Share this", I think there should be an option for "Flag as spoiler", so that the information in question doesn't appear on the movie main page and is marked as spoiler on its appropriate page. A similar feature in t

Unicode - 25-year update

add "incorrectly regarded as goof" to the first Edit Goofs page list

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
