Pet peeve - plot outline, plot summary, and "just" synopsis in update form

I know it's a very minor issue, but in the updating form, it says Plot Outlines, Plot Summaries and Synopsis. Can the word "plot" be added to Synopsis as well please? It's more consistent that way.

Release dates should be added to embedded videos

Whenever I try to sort videos by release date, they always come back as unknown (example: Nicola Coughlan’s page shown below). When a video is added to a name or title page, either the day it got added or the day the video was publicly released should be attached to the video. If you look at the Bri

Explanation Box for Images

I feel more often these days, I have images declined due to misinterpretation, sure it's good the system flags poor quality images or ones with 'overlaid controls' for checking by an actual human, but if that human has no clue what they looking at or cannot tell if it's a still image or a selfie pho

Accepted Solution

Re-enable support for genre ordering

The genres that appear first on the film page that I'm working on aren't really the main genres of the movie out of all the ones that are added. Is there any way to change the order in which the genres appear? Thank you.

Adding a metadata tag (hashtag keyword) to a title page

Can I add a metadata tag, more commonly known as a hashtag, somewhere on the title's IMDb page? And if so, to what section?
