Certificates

As a contributor I've noticed a problem with regard to the availability of certain certificates, for example - in Norway, in 2015 the ratings system re-vamped introducing a '6 years and older' rating (https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Norwegian_Media_Authority - https://www.medietilsynet.no/tv-film-radi

Streamlining the "Type" section for the New Title page

I've seen would-be contributors on various social media platforms complain that adding a new title to IMDb is confusing. Streamlining the Type section could make things easier. I've added thousands of titles, and sometimes my brain still glitches at this section. My suggestion: Under Type, we see
