Structured‑data bug: bestRating capped at 10 (should be 11) for This Is Spinal Tap

Open https://www.imdb.com/title/tt0088258/ View page source or use DevTools → Network → Doc → right‑click ➜ Copy → Copy response (or just search the HTML) Locate the embedded application/ld+json block. Inside the aggregateRating object you’ll see: "worstRating": 1, "ratingValue": "7.9", "bestRating": 10 But best rating should be 11 https://i.imgur.com/HaIqL73.png It causes Google to show 7.9/10 in searh results which is wrong. https://i.imgur.com/bdd6zlr.png

Just in case: I'm a real person and 10 in Google search bothers me more than it should.

Hello bniwredyc, Thank you for your patience. The rating being # out of 11 instead of the regular 10 is actually an easter egg for this title only. However, this easter egg is supported only by IMDb and not by Google, hence why it looks different on the browser.

But Google pulls its rating from the JSON-LD on the page. So change "bestRating":10 to "bestRating":11 should affect Google results. UPD: If it's not, I'll take it from there.

@Jolene: I think I already know the answer to this one, but can the rating out of 11 be added to the reference view as well? Even though we are serious contributors, we still might like a laugh every now and again ;)
