Photographs in Actor Filmography?
I have noticed a rather weird tendency of photograph appearances either disappearing from the acting filmographies or receiving "(credit only)" treatment. I don't know whether some SAG-AFTRA standards are in play here, but I wonder whether cases in which photographs were actually made for the movie

More credits in Music department
The policy of adding only a maximum of 10 credits to the Music dept. at a time shall be reviewed. Being a contributor from India, many movies have more than 10 people associated with this dept. and I find it very difficult since I've to edit such pages multiple times to add more credits. Please limi

The "Producer" credits on a film should be able to be listed in the appropriate order per a film's end credits, just like cast can be ordered.It's unfair that the producer list is alphabetized because it doesn't allow for anyone to see who the lead producer is. As well all know "producer" credits a

Suggest green check mark Contributor Zone; actor/actress
1. Suggestion. For ones IMDb Contributor Zone, there's a History page. Please add a very thin STATUS column, with an icon of a green ✓checkmark, small red [X], or yellow warning sign with an explanation point. 2. I'm surprised when adding an edit for CAST the only two choices are actor, or actress.

Parental Guide Categories
The five categories are not enough. I saw episodes of a cartoon for young children (Gon) showing the collection and consumption of wild mushrooms. Drugs was the closest, but I was leaving a life and death warning. If you cannot have a category of "dangerous behavior" or "dangerous activity" at least

Please require users to start reviews/summaries with SPOILER ALERT when appropriate.
Please require users to start reviews/summaries with SPOILER ALERT when appropriate. It absolutely ruins it if you are simply looking for an overall simple summary and user lists every detail including the climax! This includes old films - doesn't matter if it's the Wizard of Oz .. don't give away t

Including a new and separate genre for Award Shows
I recently found out that many of the Award shows have 'Comedy', 'Romance' or 'Family' genres attached to them. Although these shows have humour, I feel it's incorrect to tag them as a comedy. Instead, IMDB should introduce a new genre to address the award shows.I'm not sure if I'm posting at the co
