Plot summary formatting restrictions incompatible with certain types of content

I wish to update the episode listings of "Friday Night Videos" with episode information. Given the format of this show, the episode information essentially breaks down to a list of music videos.  The formatting of "plot summary" converts new lines to spaces, turning a list into a long string o

Things that make IMDb easier to use

I live in an area that have frequent power failures so why not implement a function that automatically save the text input (every 1 minute?) when we users are writing a review. As it is now, we lose everything when the power goes down (as it did write this) and we must start all over again! Even if

The “Credit only” situation

It has always struck me as unfair and quite deceptive actually, for tv series particularly, how the “credit only” credits are displayed. If a person is credited for all episodes of a series but appears in none of them, they are still listed at the top of the cast list, above those who actually cont

cast and crew verification should have evidence upload

Many of the update forms have an evidence upload link. The form for confirming that cast and/or crew are complete does not have that option. If it had, I could upload the PDF I have of the full end credits of a TV episode which I used to add and correct all the cast and crew. I could also upload the

Add the ability for contributors to cancel their pending contributions

Proposal: IMDb should add the ability for contributors to cancel their pending contributions. We've all been here before: just minutes after submitting a data contribution to IMDb, we realize that our contribution was in error. Yet the erroneous contribution may remain pending multiple days befo

Alternate titles : Please add Korean letters Hangeul.

Hello Whenever I use IMDB, It’s little inconvenient that IMDB does not support Korean letter system. Is there any plan to add Korean letters? I truly hope that I can use Korean letters on IMDB. Thanks.

Make all languages selectable as “Language” instead of hiding many as “Attributes”

It is not helpful to hide the actual language a film is in as an “Attribute”, which does not seem to be visible unless one goes to make a correction. Many of the language selections are not even proper terms or language families — “Central American Indian”? And “Aboriginal” is an imprecise term of v

Inconsistent Usage of the Film Noir Genre Tag

So even before the new genres were added IMDb had Film Noir called out as a separate genre tag; I agree it should be called out as a separate genre; however, I have not seen it applied consistently. To start at the top, there is no precise definition for Film Noir though most would agree that styli
