Idea: Add mental health/trigger warning to parents guide

Hi IMDB, would you be able to add a mental illness warning/trigger warning section to the parents guide?

Suggestion to bring back the this number of reviews have been deleted function

Hi, Before IMDb changed its format around 2017, reviewers were able to see at the top of our review page how many reviews of ours had been deleted, either by us or removed through reporting. We were also able to see which reviews had been deleted/removed. Something that was incredibly helpful. From

Tracking exact counts of your submissions.

Hi all. As suggested by Michelle and Ozzy, I now come to you all with this topic. I've had several questions regarding the Badges, the substages (chapters, whatever you call it --> after 100,250,500,750,1000, etc.) and, lately, just exactly how many new names I have added. I like to be able to

Trivia Subsections

The Trivia listings on popular movies usually fill up. Like the Goofs listings, could there be sections introduced to Trivia such as "Industry Notes", "Items which refer to actors only, not the movie", "Coincidences", and "Failed Auditions", etc., so that we can skip those items?

Allow other works to be re-ordered

Hi."Other Works" section is a pretty good place to add commercials, radio, theater, books, music videos (edit: does not belong to ”Other Works”), audio recordings (edit: podcasts does not belong to ”Other Works”), etc - BUT it still doesn't support year order. Based on the older thread about two yea

Suggested enhancement to form validation for marriages (trim off any invisible leading/trailing spaces in "year" field)

I copied-and-pasted some marriage years from an obituary, and inadvertently included a leading space (for one marriage) and a trailing space (for another marriage). This generated the "red" error "The year 2010 must have 4 digits and should not be 0". I suggest that the code which validates dates f

Videos Order in a Preferential Manner

Hi IMDb, I'd like to make a suggestion of improvement: a possibility to replace / re-upload videos without losing the link, or a definitive way to rearrange the order of how they appear on the site. If I have to correct any old trailer or clip published and re-upload, it'll appear in front of all
