Suggested enhancement to form validation for marriages (trim off any invisible leading/trailing spaces in "year" field)
I copied-and-pasted some marriage years from an obituary, and inadvertently included a leading space (for one marriage) and a trailing space (for another marriage). This generated the "red" error "The year 2010 must have 4 digits and should not be 0". I suggest that the code which validates dates fo

Videos Order in a Preferential Manner
Hi IMDb, I'd like to make a suggestion of improvement: a possibility to replace / re-upload videos without losing the link, or a definitive way to rearrange the order of how they appear on the site. If I have to correct any old trailer or clip published and re-upload, it'll appear in front of all th

Idea - anything in development/listed as being in anythingless than post-prod for 3 years or more is automatically deleted.

Titles in data fields don't necessarily match the title for the original release, user's region, or user's language.
I first noticed this when I saw that the trailers and images for the movie "The F Word" (2013), which is the original release title and official English release title here in Canada, are using the alternate U.S. release title "What If". This struck me as a slightly odd but minor issue so I ignored i

All other cast credits for this title are unordered so far.
Is this warning even necessary? Someone posts a few random unordered credits for a TV episode and when I go to complete the cast, I have to click this box for 30+ credits. Absolutely ridiculous. Can we get rid of this warning or make it a single global warning per update. No wonder most people never

criterion collection filter
when you're in a list you can filter the list to see if it's on certain streaming services. the only one not there is the criterion channel and I'd love to have that one.

Add a new series title type
There's a crying need (of both contributors and users) to have theatrical short subjects, and short subjects within a TV series, listed as their own series. I can understand this. IMDb may want to consider a new feature. Link series. A link series will have links, instead of episodes. For example, t

Captioning errors entered as Goofs
I'm seeing a lot of Goofs identifying differences between the movie's audio and the captions; these are not Goofs per IMDb guidelines. If the word "episode" triggers an automatic response of "Don't repeat episode names/numbers.", an analogous response should be created whenever the word "caption" is
