Could use a tool for submitting large amounts of updates quickly

Came across a TV series with an entire season's episode names and cast scrambled or duplicated. I suspect other seasons may also need correction. It's an older series and I doubt anyone else cares, but it would be good, imo, to have it correct before it gets mothballed.It would be nice to be able to

Adjust Content Warning

One of the issues I run into when trying to mentally prepare for tough movies is knowing if the movie is mentally safe for me to watch and how I need to prepare myself. I live with and manage a lot of traumas and know my triggers. Unfortunately, the IMDB content warning components are geared towards

Suggestion for New feature: Voice Actors

It is common that movies, cartoons and tv series are dubbed (have the original voice, in the original language is replaced by a local actor voice in the local language) in other countries with a different language. Here in Brazil dub companies tries to keep the same local voice to each actor, so som

Reviews: Add an option to mark reviews as private

Since last night, the last 25 reviews I wrote were downvoted by one person. (I stopped counting at 25.) The vast majority had no votes whatsoever until today. It must be the same person who did that. Downvotes are no big deal to me, but I think it's juvenile what someone did. My privacy setting for

Suggestion: Word-based audio as a separate type

I first put forward this suggestion more than 20 years ago, and unfortunately, nothing has happened since then, so I'm doing it again. A film ultimately consists of two things: words and images. Silent films have always been accepted. Now, in the form of podcasts, pure audio is also accepted. I've a

Disney Plus watch option

I really think IMDb should have a Disney Plus watch option, so that people (Disney Plus subscribers or not) will have better assurance of these specific movies or TV shows' existence and availability to watch. And of course for Disney Plus subscribers to select.

Image categorization is entirely overdue. That, or scorecard permissions should be shared much more liberally to promote equal opportunity.

Scorecard helps de-clutter a lot on the site data-wise and also prevents the extremely ill-phrased "Publicity" filter/type on filmmakers' pages that is a result of self-uploading.Referring to self uploads as "publicity" is just ... wrong. It's not even the correct phrasing. Why on earth default it t

Issues adding new languages

@Col_Needham​ Hopefully, enforcing a language order number at the time of submission will be implemented relatively soon (the same obviously goes for the lack of displaying language attributes). That being said, there is also the matter of languages not being known to IMDb and therefore being imposs

Label shell episodes and prevent new information from appearing on them

I'd like to see IMDb label shell episodes as such and prevent new information from appearing on them. The staff may want to disable editing capability (except for title, date, movie connections and trivia) on shell episodes and clearly label them as shells. All the shells are doing now is confuse us

Pet peeve - plot outline, plot summary, and "just" synopsis in update form

I know it's a very minor issue, but in the updating form, it says Plot Outlines, Plot Summaries and Synopsis. Can the word "plot" be added to Synopsis as well please? It's more consistent that way. Also, it's more clear I feel. They way it is listed now, it kinda suggests the Synopsis is not part of
