IMDB needs to flag AI generated movies
If the studios have their way, many future movies will be written, directed, performed and filmed entirely by computers. IMDB needs to flag such productions because those of us who care about the future of theater arts deserve that information to know which movies to support and which to avoid.

Separate background actors/extras from regular cast on movies
I find the addition of extras/background actors to IMDb increasingly distracting. During the production phase most of them do not even add an "uncredited" but try to sneak in as normal cast member, even though they know they will not get a credit - and while doing so totally clutter up the cast list

Add images (and all other) new contribution types to the contribution history page
Although I get an email confirming my image contribution (example: IMDb update receipt #180422-161133-961102), and it has a link to view its status, I'd really like to see that contribution on the page https://contribute.imdb.com/updates/history/ Any chance that's on the IMDb To Do list?

"reference-to-" keywords
I'd like to see all the "reference-to-" keywords changed. Consider this: - Add a new category called Referenced - Remove reference-to- from any keywords that begin this way - Categorize said keywords as Referenced Example: Reference-to-Cary-Grant would become Cary-Grant in the keyword category, Refe

Suggestion to bring back the this number of reviews have been deleted function
Hi, Before IMDb changed its format around 2017, reviewers were able to see at the top of our review page how many reviews of ours had been deleted, either by us or removed through reporting. We were also able to see which reviews had been deleted/removed. Something that was incredibly helpful. From

Tracking exact counts of your submissions.
Hi all. As suggested by Michelle and Ozzy, I now come to you all with this topic. I've had several questions regarding the Badges, the substages (chapters, whatever you call it --> after 100,250,500,750,1000, etc.) and, lately, just exactly how many new names I have added. I like to be able to track

Trivia Subsections
The Trivia listings on popular movies usually fill up. Like the Goofs listings, could there be sections introduced to Trivia such as "Industry Notes", "Items which refer to actors only, not the movie", "Coincidences", and "Failed Auditions", etc., so that we can skip those items?
