"woke" keyword

"woke" should not be a keyword. It's definition: "alert to injustice in society, especially racism." This is extremely subjective, so it could perhaps be included in a review, but it has no place in a keywords list. I think of similar possible keywords from the past, like "hip," "with in," "chic," e

Does anyone know when Genderqueer, Transgender, or Other will be an option for the gender field on a profile?

The only options currently are "male" or "female" and one of my actors doesn't identify as either. But I can't list them without selecting a gender. Anyone know when IMDb is going to fix this?

expand number of results displayed

'Twould be nice if we could go beyond 100 items on a page when viewing a list, and beyond 250 per page on Advanced Title Search. 500, 1000, 2500, 5000, and 10000 increments sound about right.

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, she

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.

Adding who has the streaming/online viewing rights

I would use IMDb website a TON more if i could use this site to see who owns the rights. i have several streaming accounts, such as hulu or disney+ but i don't always remember who owns what rights and they DO change. it would help TREMENDOUSLY if you kept a database on who currently has the rights (

Idea: Add mental health/trigger warning to parents guide

Hi IMDB, would you be able to add a mental illness warning/trigger warning section to the parents guide? It could use the same severity ratings as the violence, sex and drugs categories, but it would focus on potential triggers for people. For example, I have recently become aware that people with e

Include YouTube in the “More watch options”

When I search for a movie or show that I like and I tap on the “More watch options” YouTube is never an option even though they are available on YouTube for purchase or rent
