IMDB needs to flag AI generated movies

Add an "Episodes level" for the vintage Movie Serials format

The IMDB lists individual episodes of TV series. (A long time ago, they did not.) Would it not be logical to do the same thing for the vintage movie serials of the first part of last century?

Add images (and all other) new contribution types to the contribution history page

Although I get an email confirming my image contribution (example: IMDb update receipt #180422-161133-961102), and it has a link to view its status, I'd really like to see that contribution on the page https://contribute.imdb.com/updates/history/ Any chance that's on the IMDb To Do list?
