treat videos like photos and allow tags for only the videos actor appears in
Hey, there. I'd like to suggest an idea. Treat videos like photos on IMDb. When a production uploads a photo, just the actors appearing in that photo are tagged. It doesn't make any sense that every actor and crew member in every video uploaded by a production is tagged, whether they are in the vide

Searchable Occupation database
I have been updating cast and crew in some films recently. One problem I have with crew members is that sometimes it is not obvious to which department the occupation given belongs.

Editing Images - How to change stills to 'behind the scenes'
When editing images I have noticed some say 'Still of ------ in ------', some say '---- in ----' and some say '----- behind the scenes of ------' how do you change the categories of these images? One example is that this image http://www.imdb.com/media/rm4035560704/nm3389576?ref_=nmmi_mi_all_bts_10

Allow series-level release dates
Ever since the introduction of episode pages it has not been possible to directly add a release date to the main page of a TV series. I would like this to change: - It would let users easily find a list of the earliest release dates in the place they are used to finding them for other kinds of title

Non-binary actors on IMDB
Hello, I think IMDB should honour non-binary acting people with a relevant tag instead of actor/actress. Maybe another name, like "acting person" or something reflecting the fact that they're non-binary. As an example please see the profile of Asia Kate Dillon tagged as "actress" while they are iden

Credits not on screen but listed online
Many modern television programmes don't have on-screen credits and instead say something like "For full credits, go to our website", with the full credits being listed on the official website. It seems misleading to have to credit everyone (including producers, directors, editors, etc.) as uncredite

Why doesn’t IMDB add plays to its listings?
Yes I know its a site made for movies but there is no site that lists plays in any database format is there? Movie Stars do plays too don’t they?
