We need to be able to flag pictures/screenshots from shows/episodes as spoilers
This https://www.imdb.com/title/tt1004798/mediaviewer/rm2144106496/ is a big spoiler for this episode. There are others for that episode, too.

Please add Javanese as a language option.
I'm trying to fix the language of this film: https://www.imdb.com/title/tt14132316/ It currently lists "Ojibwa", but that is incorrect as the film takes place in eastern Java, Indonesia. The language is listed as Osing, but that's very small so may not warrant it's own separate listing, but it is ei

Film Main Pages Routinely Misidentify Swiss Films
Many Swiss films are incorrectly identified as being French, German or Italian. For example, the main page of "Polizischt Wäckerli (1955)" ascribes it to "West Germany", whereas it is a Swiss film. When I attempt to correct this under "Country of Origin", I see that Switzerland is already listed as

TA & TM Representation history inaccuracies w/Credits
TA & TM Representation history for Credits IMDb is a tool that is promoted as "industry wide" resource but there is currently a pretty significant gap in the tool related to a major industry role "Representation". Currently, when representation is changed, removed, etc - so does the credit associate

unable to verify genres
It has been on multiple occasions on different title pages that I get the response "unable to verify" on genre submission. I always add an explanation for my genre edit. This page does not tell the contributors how to provide valid proof. Please update the aforementioned page, or include the ways to

Voice work - separate category
I think with the amount of credits being given for voice work in movies, animation, video games, etc., it should be given its own category rather than being lumped in with screen credits. It would also make it easier to find information on people if these were separate categories.

Add ability to edit episodes from series page
There really needs to be a way to edit cast & crew (and other data if needed) for multiple episodes at once from the series page the same way they are initially added to episodes. If a mistake is made when adding from the series page, you then have to go to each and every episode to make the same co

Add release date for multiple episodes and/or seasons
You need to make it possible to add release dates (and other data) for multiple episodes/seasons in a bulk. It is incredibly tedious and time consuming process having to go manually through every episode.

Make it possible to contribute to multiple episodes at the same time
Hey, I have contributed to a lot of episodes the past months. I have frequently been updating info for multiple episodes at the time. Currently I have to go through each and every episode to update the information which can get both incredibly tedious and annoying (not to mention time-consuming). Ju

confusing category "TV Movie" vs "TV Pilot" (produced busted pilot that does not go to series)
"TV Movie" is not an accurate way to categorize TV pilots that do not get picked up to series. Instead, IMDb should refer to these produced busted pilots as "TV Pilot" (not "TV Movie"). The Surgeon General (2013) is an example of one of many produced TV pilots each year that do not get picked up to
