IMDB Disability Section

I would find it specifically helpful if there were somewhere on IMDB where you could find out the level to which film production companies, or others, have gone to make life easier for people with hidden disabilities.  My wife cannot read. Not her fault, she had a stroke in 2011, aged forty-nine, s

Greetings, I am new to this forum and this is my second post for an idea to define the Property Master and Property department as a separate category or listing in the IMDB Crew listings.  Currently, all film credits for Property Master and Property Department are listed under the general heading of

Please accept the full url instead of requiring constants

As a contributor, making [link=] connections could be streamlined if only you accepted the full url instead of only the name/title constant. It would make sense to STORE just the constant, but don't make the contributor extract the constant from the URL. You know how your URLs look; you should be ab

Cancel contribution

In the email sent after submitting a contribution, it might be a good idea to have a link to cancel the contribution. I submitted one recently and afterward realized that the plot hole wasn't solid, and I found away around it. I tried to cancel it, but found no way to do so.

When adding non-unique crew names for episodes of a TV series, always put the matching name first that already has credits for the series

I've been adding a lot of missing crew for episodes of a TV series. To reduce the effort, I've done this at series level: add credits for John Smith to episodes 1.1, 1.5 and 1.9; add credits for Joe Soap to episodes 1.1 and 1.3, etc. There are cases where there are multiple people in IMDB who have

Spoiler Alerts on Plot Summaries

I looked up an episode of a show that I enjoy and clicked on the Plot Summary. It contained two. The second of which was basically a full recap of the whole episode. Since I had already seen it, there were no surprises for me. However, for somebody looking it up for a first viewing would have had al

Why no Grip Department category

Does anybody else find it strange that there is no classification for the Grip Department in the crew listing on a Film or TV Show? The Grips are found in a category of Camera and Electric. While Grips work closely with the Camera and Electric departments, they are a separate and well recognized dep
