Star Wars naming consistency
posted by Johnny JackhammerSTAFFMOD on April 11, 2017 at 3:03 PM
I am new to this database. Has there been any discussion about titles being consistent?
Especially when it comes to collections like Star Wars… Some have Episodes in the titles and some do not:- Star Wars - Episode III - Revenge of the Sith
- Star Wars - The Force Awakens (can this be changed to "Star Wars - Episode VII - The Force Awakens)

There has been lots of discussion. But, I don't think they're gonna change. Try to do a quick search on the forums/and of google with site:themoviedb.com/talk and you're bound to see a couple of hundred hits! :-P
(original movie titles don't change anyway, any "change" is an update >> alternative)

Well, I've never actually much bothered to participate in the Star Wars discussions, but they never seem to entirely go away. But, after years and years, the titles haven't changed, which makes me think they're going to.
Don't let it discourage you from contributing other stuff to the database :) Star Wars titles are just pretty much a said and done subject.

Whoever is in charge of adding these titles to the database,,, their model is really unsophisticated. Titles should be subject to naming conventions, and one of the most obvious rules should be consistency within collections and series. Not really sure where to go with this…

Sorry :( But if you want them changed for you media center/library, maybe you can use .nfo files.
Look at some of these older discussions, just from the reports section;
