Listed Credit Should Be Something Obvious To Them

Hello, I am not sure if this is possible based on the formula IMDB uses, but I have noticed that even if someone has 70 credits in "Self" and 1 credit as an "Actor" when you go to add them to an episode it is going to show their name with Actor, and the movie title beneath it. This doesn't seem like

Soundtrack AKAs need to become real AKAs

Names in Soundtrack credits can be linked to their IMDb pages, and if the name in said credits don't exactly match the IMDb name, a "credited as" attribute can be added. The help text details how to do this: https://help.imdb.com/article/contribution/titles/soundtracks/GKD97LHE9TQ49CZ7 However, thes

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.

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.

the cast list should include a picture of the character beside the picture of the actor

I would like to see pictures of the movie characters beside the actor's picture. Many of the actors pictures are shown with the cast list but it only includes the character's name.

Can it be changed so genres can be added to individual episodes of TV shows?

There's a problem with IMDb posting inappropriate updates of genres to TV shows where some episodes might individually be described as being one genre that the series as a whole isn't, but IMDb lists it as this genre anyway. For example, "Tales from the Crypt" is predominately a horror series, but h

Separate articles from Miscellaneous Sites

On External Sites pages, many of the links listed under Miscellaneous Sites are various other movie sites with profiles for titles. Links to actual articles about a title can seem buried in such a list. It would be cool to have a separate subsection for articles on the same page. This would also be
