Can you please add the Italian content ratings certifications? As you can see on Wikipedia, we have a CRC for movies (https://it.wikipedia.org/wiki/Sistemi_di_classificazione_dei_film#Italia) and a CRC for TV series (https://it.wikipedia.org/wiki/Sistemi_di_classificazione_delle_trasmissioni_televisive#Netflix).

Hi, could you add the rating system for Finland? The Wikipedia guide seems to have correct details.

Can the certification for Puerto Rico and the U.S. Virgin Islands be added? Both use the same TV Parental Guidelines system as the US (NR, TV-Y, TV-Y7, TV-G, TV-PG, TV-14, TV-MA) with the same descriptors (D, L, S V, FV) since they're US territories.

I @travisbell please update
TV
T for Todos (Turns out to be more explicit)
Movies
Públicos for Todos (Turns out to be more explicit and would look like TV)
P (eliminates because there is no such age classification, M/18 is the highest age rating)
Thanks

@travisbell is there a way to see the list of available content ratings for your country? And to see/adjust the CR on the movie for your specific country?
I noticed that Belgium is not consistent with its ratings. Some movies have ratings that are not mentioned on the wiki page: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Motion_picture_content_rating_system#Belgium
ratings like:
Let me know if I can help

Please add a classification for the country Poland, for movies (it's OK for TV series). For digital and TV releases: 0, 7, 12, 16, 18 ( as per executive order and act).
For theatrical and physical releases: 0, 7, 12, 13, 15, 16, 18 (here there is full freedom, each distributor decides about the age classification).

Ratings in Belgium are a bit messy...
In 2020, the KNT/ENA & KT/EA ratings; used in cinema; were replaced (as specified on the wiki) with a Belgian version of Kijkwijzer/Cinecheck.
Prior to 2020; lots of BR, DVD & VHS already used the Dutch Kijkwijzer system due to releases being mostly Benelux oriented & thus already baring the Dutch rating; while cinema's used KNT/ENA & KT/EA. TV (& Digital) on the other hand are still not aligned to this system. Due to seperate systems used in Flanders & Wallonia.
AL & AL/Tous should be considered the same, with the first just missing the French translation. Discrepancy once again due to the Benelux releases, with the Dutch Kijkwijzer being present. All depends on the distributor. Purely Belgian (fysical) releases are not even required to bare any rating on the box as far as I'm aware.

Has something changed recently to add other countries to the TV ratings ? As an example, I'm seeing Ireland listed https://www.themoviedb.org/tv/155533-manhunt/edit?active_nav_item=content_ratings and I seem to remember in the past this was not possible.
