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. That is obviously a bad system, because there are far too many to change and most people don't know

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.

Listed Credit Should Be Something Obvious To Them

Change IMDB Release Date Rules?

Currently, IMDB counts film festivals as Release Dates but perhaps Release dates should be classified based on "when movies are released to the general public on a wide scale, ex: Theaters, Online Platforms (Netflix, Amazon, Hulu)". I had a film show at a small film festival in 2014. Since then we r

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. On every movie staring a handful of name actors, we get several separate items of the pattern, "actor X and actor Y have both acted in Z genre." Usually, thou

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.
