Ability to choose term actor or actress without changing gender
Currently, in order to change all of my credits to say actor instead of actress, I would have to change my gender to male. I don’t identify as a man but I like using the term actor over actress.

Idea: add a status for "cancelled" films that are finished
With the recent developement regarding the "Batgirl" movie and it's cancellation I think it's time we add a category for "cancelled" projects that have been completed. I've seen people ask more than once about the status of cancelled pilots (like "Marvel's Most Wanted" Marvel's Most Wanted (Fernsehf

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

Highlighted Review - banded
When you see the single highlighted review, it is far too individualistic to be useful. What would be better as a visitor would be to have eg three band rating ranges - 1-3, 4-7 & 8-10 - (or similar eg 1-3, 4-5, 6-7, 8-10) and show a top review for each of these bands, so that you are presented on t

Period genre?
There are number of period/historical films listed on the database. For history, the rules are strict that it should be a film about real events. But since there are a number of films which have a period setting, why don't we have the "period" genre in the list as well? A lot of period films have be

JUSTICE FOR PRODUCTION OFFICE
Hi there! I think it's high time a PRODUCTION OFFICE section is added as part of the crew. Anyone who has worked on a film will back me up on this - there is no production without the production office. These are the people that organise and orchestrate the whole show. If a production is going smoot
