User reviews > 👍Helpful / 👎Unhelpful

"👍Helpful / 👎Unhelpful" may suggest the original intention of the User Reviews -- to help other people determine whether they should watch a movie or not. But I don't think that's what the thumbs Up/Down are being used for anymore.  For the most part, I think there's a lot of tapping on Hel

Macrons to be added to special characters

We're based in New Zealand and the Māori language uses macrons over letters to denote a longer vowel sound. At the moment in the list of special characters the closest thing I can find is the tilda (wiggly line above a letter) but that's not technically correct and it should be a macron. I would lik

Separate Sections for Producer Types

I believe that financial producers and day-to-day producers on a project should be listed separately. At this time, the producers, EPs, and co-EPs are all in the same section. These are incredibly distinct roles, as outlined in the DPA's crediting guidelines: https://www.documentary.org/sites/defaul

Dog warnings

I'd like to suggest adding warnings to shows that contain any kind of dog violence. Example: John Wick. Would have liked to know about the doggie dying before I watched. I was traumatized :(

Warning for Wikipedia links in explanations

Instead of just declining edits with supporting links from Wikipedia, include a check in the edit feature and give a warning if a Wikipedia address is included in an explanation or source textbox.

A way to filter my approved vs rejected contributions

Hi, It would be stellar if there was a way to look at my update history contributions and filter on which submissions are approved vs rejected. I'd like to see a list of all rejected ones that I know need work/re-submission. When submitting lots of items it's a lot to go back and sift through each

Add to the 'Relations List'

Curious if something can be added to the list of family relations that could indicate someone's baby-mama or baby-daddy? Whatever would be a professional way to state that relationship. In the past few days I've noticed a few celebrity couples that have children together but are not married. https:

Poor submissions hall of fame?

I'm sure we've all entered some data, only to later retract it, or edit it, etc. But lately I've been having to delete some howlers. I think it's because I've been watching a couple of mainstream shows for a change, so with a wider audience, there's more chance of wider submissions, and... wow. I
