I'm still confused, the TV ratings I entered match what is on that GetSatisfaction page, which mirrors what Wikipedia shows.
Our movie certifications for Portugal were added months ago, and are as follows:

I apologize, on TV on Wikipedia does not say but there is also the 18 for porn scenes. As for the movies it is also right I just modified the "públicos" for "Todo o Público". And he took the P because it is of no use.

Ok, so there is an "18" for TV? That's the only problem?

Might be that there's no 18 listed (at wikipedia and the like) because 18+ (porn) isn't usually programmed on the regular TV networks. Only maybe Pay-TV / at hotels or something. I don't know, not at all familiar with the type of content;

I seems like the "P" for movie ratings is only used in combination with M/18 (M/18-P) to indicate porn content. And that a single M/18 isn't porn per se, but psychical/physic violence for example. So maybe we should have
I can't find any info besides wikipedia for "Para todos os públicos" / "Públicos" But seems logic to have an all ages rating

Don't want to be too nitpick, but can we be sure asbout the Wiki entry? I can't find their source (it just links to the RTP homepage), but the document linked (April 2013) in an earlier post is from the TVI website; http://www.tvi.iol.pt/outros/552bf62a0cf25bc402bae586
Although there's a newer version from July 2014;

Those pages state at the end that they are the old rating regulations (from 2005/2006 respectively). Just published on the website in 2014. I think it might be the case that they decided to remove the 18 rating for television content, somewhere between your listing and the one from 2013. But if older series were actually rated 18, it might still be good to have for those!

I noticed that not all countries have movie certifications to them so I figured most of the ones that are missing, you can find them here. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Motion_picture_content_rating_system

If there's a specific country you're looking for let me know. I've never worried about trying to get every country, so there will be lots of smaller countries missing. I have only every tried to get the main ones. We currently have 17 countries added for movies and 14 countries for TV.
