I've suggested this a couple of times before.  I think that we could adapt the current ratings field, which currently only has the choice of Film and Television.  Add a few others, like Live Performance (for Concerts, Sports, etc.) and Short Subject (for collections of Music Videos, Shorts, etc.).


Please, do not mix these two up. In the US film and television do indeed have different rating systems, but in many (probably: most) localities there is no such distinction. And even in the US, AFAIK there are no separate rating systems for Live Performance etc.


I wasn't talking about changing the ratings systems.  I'm talking about using the "Ratings System" field where we can select only Film or Television, and adding these options (Live Performance, Shorts, etc.) to that drop-down menu.  The ratings can remain the same (as noted, there are no ratings other than Film in most regions).  This allows the Film and Television choices to already be in the system without thousands of contributions being added to select that option, and only change those profiles that need it.

If he was to choose that option... he would also have to be able to make it filterable... as of right now there is no way to filter on just Television or just Film from the ratings.

I think we need to be careful.  We can go overboard.

I liked the original idea, but I agree here in that jumping from one into three new fields sounds more like a job for tags.
If at first you don't succeed, skydiving isn't for you.

He who MUST get the last word in on a pointless, endless argument doesn't win. It makes him the bigger jerk.

I don't know... I don't see a problem with asking for 3 new fields if it is a popular request. And I would say it is popular since I have seen all 3 asked for separately on more then one occasion.

I see. I'm sorry - your mentioning of "adapting" the ratings field got me confused...

I'd like to see a codec for video implemented. AVC, VC-1 and MPEG2.
So we have crap for Digital Copy but nothing for codecs?
