Streamlining the "Type" section for the New Title page
I've seen would-be contributors on various social media platforms complain that adding a new title to IMDb is confusing. Streamlining the Type section could make things easier. I've added thousands of titles, and sometimes my brain still glitches at this section. My suggestion: Under Type, we see two categories. Single Work Series If the user clicks on Single Work, there's a dropdown menu with the following choices: - Feature movie - Short movie - TV special - Unaired TV pilot - User-generated video (on a platform such as YouTube, TikTok, Instagram or X) - Made-for-home video (VHS, DVD, Blu-ray or other physical media) - Commercial - Music Video - Video Game - Audio Book Under Series we see the following choices: - TV series (broadcast or subscription-based platform) - TV mini-series (broadcast or subscription-based platform) - User-generated video series (on a platform such as YouTube, TikTok, Instagram or X) - Video channel (typically user-generated and often contain series which may be listed separately) - Podcast series (i.e., any series that is also, or exclusively, available in podcast feeds) - Movie serial (typically a series of movie shorts that appeared in theaters in the first half of the 20th century) This would help simplify a process that is complicated by its nature, as these categories of content are difficult to define and distinguish from one another.
