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

IMDb used to have a newsletter, and the mid-April 1997 issue contained an item titled "The Great ISO Swap" reporting that IMDb had implemented the ISO 8859-1 (also known as ISO Latin-1) character set, allowing names and titles to use all the common letters with diacritical marks of the major Western

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

Currently the Goofs page edit gives a list of options that doesn't have "incorrectly regarded as goof". So one has to first enter something as a goof, and after it is processed by editing team and to the page for all to see, then he/ she or someone has to mark that as "incorrectly regarded as goo

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
