https://contribute.imdb.com/contribution/250821-102053-042000 Why this gets decline? It's correct description, for people to know what official site is Because many others adds fake sites as "official sites" and people doesn't want to click on it

@ugnieska- The reason why it was declined was because that description does not follow our guidelines for External Sited: Official sites. You can review our allowed descriptions on our Help Guide: https://help.imdb.com/article/contribution/titles/links-to-external-sites/G3FNEK9DW6TXW87J?ref_=helpms_helpart_inline#OFF

This doesn't work in practice, i know this too well There is too many fake sites labeled as "official sites" and people doesn't trust it anymore, they need to know what they click In this way then there is no purpose to add it, because people won't click it Many imdb rules works only as idea, but not in practice I do contributions for almost 5 years now and i encountered many rules that doesn't work in practice at all It makes harder to do contributions for contributors and for imdb users to access most accurate information for movie, which imdb always trying to have according to mods and when people doesn't find what they need on imdb they move to alternatives Some rules even contradicts logic, because most rules are made, by people who never done even one contribution As an idea it could look cool for sure, but at least test it at first, then implement it Of course who does contributons with bots doesn't care about this But when you do everything yourself, even minor thing bothers you, because you want everything to be as good at it can be
