Split segment titles
Among the movies registered in the IMDb, there are hundreds which are "segment movies", i.e. made of several segments with distinct casts and technical teams, very often even the directors. Usually, only the producer is common to all of them. E.g. see: 8, RoGoPaG, the seven segments of Woody Allen's

Correction Explanations
I have recently started editing crew credits for movies and television shows that I watch. I provide an explanation for all credits I correct/update. It can be a rather lengthy process. First, you have to select correct/update, then you have to select which credits needs to be updated or corrected,

Clearer "Version of" connections
I find the current appearance of "Version of" movie connections a little messy and buggy. With the new system of adding complex connections, the "reason" field is no longer directly editable by users. When it was, sometimes the connection would be added but the reason would remain blank (which wasn'

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".

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
