Gender- adding they/them pronouns

The current options for gender are male or female. It's 2021, time to add some additional options. It would be great to have "_ is known for their work on..."

More options for sorting cast as actors

Instead of having to use the reenactment keyword for titles that don't feature reenactments, I would like to see other ways to categorize credits as acting credits rather than Self. For example, most talk-shows have non-fiction as a keyword, which sorts all their credits as Self. This includes Da

Revision of Support Contact System

There have been recent complaints about problems with the support request system, but the problems go deeper than restoring the mentioned lost functionality. The system has problems which cause unnecessary work and confusion for both contributors and support employees. The system doesn‘t (or at

Am I taking a quiz making a contribution...?

I swear I'm not a complete idiot. Twice now (the other was likely a year ago), I've seen an entry have something with a question that I thought was a quiz and it turned out I was submitting something (and my guess is NOT likely to be correct). They sent me an email with a confirmation (IMDb up

More video game settings

As video games become more and more relevant in entertainment, it would be very helpful if they saw increased importance in IMDb. In particular, we can currently only choose from movie genres, which don't always comply with video game genres. Also, in distribution types we can choose from things suc

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

Make it easier to add quotes

Your form for adding quotes is unnecessarily confusing. 1) You ask "How many people are in the quote?" That's an odd question and makes it seem like you want to know how many people are referred to in the quote.  It would be better to ask: "How many different characters speak the quoted materi

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

Add production coordinators and team to the "Production Manager" department

Hello! As a production coordinator in the film industry I find it frustrating that my team and I have our credits put under 'Additional Crew', despite being full time and integral to the production.  I propose that we either include all production roles in the Production Manager departme

Idea to combat review-bombing.

After seeing a new victim of review-bombing (https://www.imdb.com/title/tt13624900/reviews), I came up with something: you know how when you try to login to an account sometimes the captcha is a question? How about before being able to rate something, the system asks about something that happened in
