The Lord of the Rings Appendices
posted by Bradley KornSTAFFMOD on August 11, 2018 at 12:13 AM
Does anyone know why the 6 appendices films for the Lord of the Ring movie trilogy and the 6 appendices films for the Hobbit movie trilogy were removed from TMDB? They existed on TMDB as of September 2017, when I scraped their metadata into my media library, but at some point in the past year they seem to have been removed. A search for them turns up nothing, and following any of the links below that existed in September 2017 result in a 404.
They still do exist on Trakt.
The Appendices Part 1: From Book to Vision
The Appendices Part 2: From Vision to Reality
The Appendices Part 3: The Journey Continues
The Appendices Part 4: The Battle for Middle Earth Begins
The Appendices Part 5: The War of the Ring
The Appendices Part 6: The Passing of an Age
The Appendices Part 7: A Long Expected Journey
The Appendices Part 8: Return to Middle Earth
The Appendices Part 9: Into the Wilderland
The Appendices Part 10: The Journey to Erebor

Bump. Would also love to know the answer to this?
Is there any point in trying to recreate the above content, or would it be deleted again, and if so - what's the reason?
Many thanks for clarifying

Well, unfortunately it looks like all the entries for the Appendices films have been removed from Trakt as well, my guess is sometime since the beginning of 2019.
I am still unsure as to why these items were purged from both TMDB and Trakt. I am sure there's an article out there explaining why they don't belong, and I'd like to read it, if only I could find it.
