Adding new Seasons - ERRORS
публикувана от rootraidSTAFFMOD на 23 април 2017 в 12:04 PM
Hello,
Is it OK to add seasons that don't have any episodes announced yet?
I think people shouldn't be allowed to add seasons until the first episode official date is announced, e.g.: Game of Thrones has season 7 coming up... HBO published the episode dates, this dates where added to the season and everything works fine, however, when HBO announced that there would be an 8th season in 2018, someone added this season but because there were no episode dates added it became kind of a problem on the API and generated some errors. One can't even report it on the TMDB website as the "Report" link (at the season level) doesn't generate unless there are episodes available it seems.

I agree with you! We don't want seasons (or even episodes) data unless it's confirmed, preferably even with a title, airdate and/or description. We don't want dozens of empty early-added episodes like IMDb almost always has.
I'll check the series and remove those very prematurely added seasons. I've only seen the season premiere date announcement though.. not all those others... but that it has seven episodes indeed... I think those are just guessed (every week an episode...) and not confirmed, so I will delete those too, as they also don't contain any titles, images or descriptions. It's a long time until July, and we're bound to get more info.
(You can always report on season level, and describe what's going on, but this is good to know for @Travis!)
// EDIT: But there's no need to add "don't add season 8 until there is an episode date announced" as the special season description.. as it's not a description of the season. People just need to adapt to TMDb.
