Add end year to series
There are many old threads about this, and the result of all of them seem to be that there is no way of adding an end year to a series without asking the IMDb admins to change each title individually.

Photos We Love - Names in captions
Where there are two or more people in a photo, it would be helpful if the names in the caption were in the same order (left to right) as the people appear in the photograph. There doesn't seem to be any point in not doing it this way, and it would help identify who is who.

Trivia should be movie connections?
Over the last few years, a ton a trivia items should probably be listed under Movie Connections, or are so trivial as to not warrant posting.

I don't want to recheck just to continue.
I found the button at the bottom of the page when contributing less than intuitive. Instead of continue or next it asked if I wanted to recheck my contribution. I thought it was some kind of back button even though there was a back button.

"Literary Manager" should be added to list of representations
The category "Literary Manager" should be added to the menu with differentiating representation. Currently when selecting a manager for representation the only way to define them as literary representation is selecting " Literary Agent" which they are not. The other tab that could be used is "m
