Can we make changes to the IMDB cast and crew contribution feature with website link evidence to prevent credit vandalism.
To the IMDB staff and IMDB users. Lately I've noticed for about 3 years now that some of the IMDB pages like Shimajiro and the Rainbow Oasis were vandalized with fake mislabeled actors and crew members. The same thing happened with the 2010s Doraemon film pages. I was able to clean up most of the Po

title manipulations
The number of manipulated titles are increasing in IMDB, a site I use daily. Most gaming platforms now use 2 step verification system which requires the user to add a phone number to their accounts. I think to decrease the number of fake votes, this should be implemented.

Restoring the Locations Tree
A few years ago, IMDb used to keep track of all locations listed in movies and television shows in the database with a "Locations Tree", that is, a hierarchical list of all the locations known to the database. Unfortunately, I can't find any archived examples of it, but maybe other people can. The L

Monthly Festivals problem
I've noticed most monthly festivals that are listed on the events page have submission inconsistencies, since the form only allows to put the year of the event. This provokes that submissions sometimes put the month of the event on the "Award name", sometimes in the "Category name" and most of the t

Filming Locations for TV Shows
Since many tv shows are filmed at the same locations for many episodes, it would be very convenient to have the “copy from previous episodes” option when adding filming locations for tv episodes.

Modify restrictions on marketing credits
Existing rule: There are certain types of credits that we do not list unless they are specifically credited on-screen: these include work on marketing elements of a title (work on key art, trailers etc.), or on non-theatrical versions (e.g. DVD authoring, supplemental materials, captioning etc.), or
