Support for Unicode.
Unicode is not fully supported in IMDb. For example, in Polish: you could change all references by searching “milosc” and then changing them to “miłość”. And Jiří Hnídek is written without an r-hacek on the start of their first name. It can also do the same for the ILM person Coşku Özdemır which is

Add goof contribution on the app
I contribute goofs very frequently, but I can't do it from the mobile app unless there's already one for that movie or episode. And I can't do it on the website even if I go through the Internet app because the contribute option isn't on the mobile site. So I literally have to go to my computer if I

Production Office Category??
For the department that supports every single other department, it seems absurd that instead of having their own category, production office staff must fall under "additional crew". Production Office Coordinators, Asst Prod Office Coords, Prod Secretaries, & Prod Office PAs should all fall u

Can we make update changes to IMDB contribution system to prevent mislabeled credit vandalism?
To the IMDB staff, I know it has been very hectic for the staff, and I've found loopholes on the IMDB contribution that allowed some pranksters to mislabel company credits and the credits names for Directors, Producers, Writers, Cast, Crew Members like what has been happening to the Pororo the Pengu
