Spell check on qvs
The spell checker sometimes runs on a name within a qv. Specifically, it happened to the "del" in Guillermo del Toro in a Crazy Credits entry.

Adding internet shorts as Made for Video not clear
Per IMDb rules, stand-alone web videos should be submitted as Made for Video. When creating a title page for a film (usually a short film) released online, this means ticking "Made for Video" rather than the first option, "Film", which says it includes feature films and short films. This is not clea

Clarity for the parents guide section
First thank you for a fine site and for having the parent guide section feature. Unfortunately the recent spam has limited its use but hopefully with the suggested descriptors below or something similar we can go a long way to help all the viewers make the most informed choices. I would request th

Spec Scripts Listed as "In Development" projects...
As a professional in the entertainment industry I find it extremely irritating that all these aspiring writers are creating IMDB profiles for themselves and adding all their spec scripts as "In Development" projects simply by making up their own "production companies." This completely dilutes the po

Missing Departments (Production, Locations, etc)
Yes, it's that topic again. What is the latest on separating out the departments which are lumped into the "other crew" list? It really is a little ridiculous, and disrespectful.I would like to assume, someone at IMDB has actually worked on a production before, or has some sort of idea of the struct

There should be an option to delete pending contributions before they are made public
Not really much to describe. People make mistakes, and if they catch it, the time saved by staff not having to read information that is ultimately going to be deleted down the road (more work for staff) I believe would be significant enough to add a feature like that

Possible new section for information on commentary tracks?
I've always wanted a section on IMDB film pages that provides information on various available commentary tracks. It'd be nice to browse who contributed, when and where they were recorded, and perhaps which releases they were available on - or at least on which release they first made an appea

Extra validation needed for malformed (qv) links
There needs to be an extra syntax validation test when adding (qv) links to people or titles in Trivia or Biography entries. I accidentally submitted a correction (adding a qv link) and I missed off one of the brackets: "_title (year)_ qv)" instead of "_title (year)_ (qv)". It would have been useful

World War III ( Rock Hudson, David Soul, Brian Denehy, Kathy Lee Crosby
Stunts/ Extras for Boris Sagals World War III ( 1981) As a member of the 40 extra/stunt group comprising the cast of "World War III" it was disappointing to see upon airing on NBC that fall of 1981 or 1982 that there were no credits for us. We worked very hard, and were proud t
