How to Handle Remasters?

I have a series whose episodes have been released a while back. They are currently being remastered with some new credits. Can the old article be updated, or do new articles need to be made? If a new article, how does it get listed in the list of episodes?

@drewmaru Please see the question “Can I add a different, cut,edition, or version to IMDb separately?” towards the end of https://help.imdb.com/article/contribution/titles/adding-a-new-title/GNXTSSVTJTFCRZGN

The short answer here sounds like the answer is that you should neither edit the credits of the original title nor create a new title. Instead, the differences should be recorded in the Alternate Versions section of the series page, please see https://help.imdb.com/article/contribution/titles/alternate-versions/GB7UDDKCAAVFXCXH

Many answers to questions on updating IMDb can be found at https://help.imdb.com/contribution

Hope this helps.

@Col_Needham Thanks! The article doesn't state how to create a new version, though. How do I do this?

@drewmaru Press the "Edit page" button at the bottom of the title page. We recommend taking a look at the help and guides available at https://help.imdb.com/contribution

@Col_Needham I did, but what do I edit after that? I checked the help pages, but I'm not sure what to search for. What I tried searching does not yield the results I need. For example, searching "Director's Cut" gives me results like "Director" and "Art Director". Can you point me to the appropriate help page?

@Col_Needham Ok, I see "Alternate Versions" when editing. I must have overlooked it. This only let's me add a description. How can I link to the new voice actors and new credits? Or would that warrant a new article since there are new credits?

Hi @drewmaru -

We only list the cast/crew credits for the original release of the title, so if the episodes are remastered and there are new credits on these alternate versions, the new credits are not eligible to be listed.

I hope this helps clarify!
