Show a warning when adding an "alternate language version of" movie connection
An "alternate language version of" movie connection is applied, as described in the submission guide, to titles that "were made concurrently using the same sets and sometimes overlapping cast/crews", which was common during the early talkie era but then went obsolete a long time ago. However, if you

Explicit first name(s) and last name(s) in the Personal details section
Score of displayed names are made of more than two elements. If you are not familiar with the culture of the country of origin, it makes it difficult to identify which element(s) make up the first name, and which the last. I would like to have a specific explicit entry in the Personal Details sectio

Improve the process for reporting a news item
I have a suggestion for improving the process for reporting a news item that has been linked to the wrong person.When one wants to report a news item, one clicks "Report this". That will take one to an "IMDb Contact Us" form, and the news item constant of the news item will be within the URL (exampl

Policy regarding end years of a tv series
According to a post in this thread (https://getsatisfaction.com/imdb/topics/why-is-the-sinner-showing-an-end-year-of-2018), IMDb doesn't add an end year to a tv series if the series is still airing, even if there is no doubt about the end year. I simply don't understand this and therefore ask to alt

"Episodic" sub-type needed for video games that are released like shows (Telltale games, Life is Strange, etc.)
In its current form, IMDb is unable to accurately capture the nature of certain games due to a lack of sub-categories. Most games are released all at once, like a film, in which case the IMDb system is fine. However, certain games (such as those made by Telltale) are released in seasons and episodes

This could be used on the IMDB App Sometime

My Contribution #180731-233901-466000 on IMDB for Movie data correction.
My Contribution #180731-233901-466000 on IMDB for Movie data correction. I added names of Producers of a movie. Contributors like me might have supporting documents to back their claim. Hence it seems good to give an option to Upload any connected material. Most likely to reduce imdb 's work too.

House style for military character names when credits do not give them
Older films, especially B pictures from the 1950s and 60s, often list only the actors' names in the opening titles and do not have a character-and-actor cast list - because they don't have a closing credits sequence other than just a caption "The End".In this situation, IMDB uses character names tha
