Add a link to the contribution status at the top of the “Contribution Confirmation” e-mail, more efficient for our productivity.
About 1 or 2 month ago, you changed the model of the e-mail we received in “Contribution Confirmation”.

Feedback: allow a review I just submitted to be edited
I made a typo in the title of my review so I immediately submitted a fixed review. It appears they might have been submitted as separate reviews based on the fact the contribution numbers are different. In the future it should be possible to edit the original review and re-submit.

Streamlining the "Type" section for the New Title page
I've seen would-be contributors on various social media platforms complain that adding a new title to IMDb is confusing. Streamlining the Type section could make things easier. I've added thousands of titles, and sometimes my brain still glitches at this section. My suggestion: Under Type, we see tw

Please remove the required characters of 600 from the review function. Or limit to much lower. I may have a short review. Include a sort feature which allows us to filter by this is you must.

Please update and change Categories (Camera & Electric)
Camera & Electrical should NOT be in the same category. They are Different Unions, completely different jobs, classifications, responsibilities and qualifications around the world. It's like having Acting, Hair and Make up in the same category. Actually Actors work closer with hair and make up than

Allow em dashes in outlines, summaries and especially synopses
I find em dashes useful when writing plot summaries—especially the synopses—but IMDb does not support them. I'm hoping the staff will change this situation and allow them.
