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
One thing we basically can't do on the IMDB App is adding/editing cast member names, movie connections, crazy credits, goofs, quotes, and other things IMDB has been known for featuring on pages over the years, we can only add/edit trivia submissions. This is an update that should someday come to the

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

"An unreleased title should not have credits with 'as' attributes"
I find to be a major inconvenience the fact that we cannot use the "as" attribute at the same time as upgrading the production/development status from "completed" (or less) to "released". The submission interface should treat it as a warning instead of outright rejecting it. (With warnings, the opti

Adding Soundtrack items to a Series
Recently, I spent a lot of time editing the soundtracks all of the episodes of the television series, “Entourage (2004)” (tt0387199). Basically each of the 96 episodes had two entries of the same song: Superhero (uncredited) Written by Perry Farrell, David Navarro, Stephen Perkins, Robert Ezrin and

Other Staff - Date Entry Suggestion
Idea for better sorting of Other Staff listing - When adding othe staff to a title you are faced with a long list of job descriptions However I have nopticed that a large number of these come with multiple variations based on capitalisation.

More options under "report a review"
When you read one of these reviews that is suspiciously fake, when you click on "report this review" one of the options in the drop down should be "suspiciously fake" Right now none of the options really address the fake review problem on IMDB. I would also recommend that once a person has marked a

Option to ‘report’ a trivia item as a spoiler
Please please consider adding the option of ‘This item contains spoilers’ to the trivia items. I have seen items which have incorrectly not been labelled as a spoiler in the main section and it would be very sensible to add this as an option.
