The Movie Database Support

Hi, I cannot find any help or words here, that tell me, weather users can add/edit "movie-sets" (Collections of Movies) or not.

Can anybody please tell or link me?

How do I Add a Movie-Set, if possible?

Thanks, and sorry, if I'm too blind.

How do I Edit (Add a Movie) to a Set, if possible?

Only movies that are already in TMDb can be added to a Collection.
If the movie is not here yet, you need to create it first.
If the movie already exists here, then ...

Go to the Collections (We do not support Movie-Set)
See above the title, the icons. The Pencil is the icon for editing. Click on it.
Click in Parts. Click in Add Movie. Type the title of the movie you want to add.

Edit: Movie-Set to Collections

How do I Add a Movie-Set, if possible?

Before creating read this: https://www.themoviedb.org/bible/collection

Create a Collection

NEVER convert a movie that already exists here into Collection.

You need 2 things:

  1. A Title for the collection
  2. A Overview for the Collection. With more than 20 characters.

Once you've solved the previous items, you'll have to start by creating a ''Fake Movie''.

Let's take the Steps:

  1. Click in +Add a New Movie. (See the sign ''+'' at the top of the page)
  2. Enter the Title. Use the title chosen for the collection.
  3. Enter the Overview. Use what you have created.
  4. Click Next. No need to add anything else.
  5. Click Save.

Now, with the ''Fake Movie'' saved, let's do his conversion into a collection.

  1. Click Edit
  2. Change the option Convert to Collection? to Yes.
  3. Save the change.

And we have a Collection.

Next step is to put in the collection the movies that already exist here in TMDb.
Only movies that already exist here can be added to the collection.
If the movie does not exist, it needs to be created before adding it to the collection.

Thank you very much for this precise and enlightened information!

Well, where/how would I do that?

I found links for lists, movies, series, people... but not for collections.

Where do I find a list of all collections?

Where do I find the collection, when on a movie-page?

Thanks again.

@moviepopoovie We do not really support movie sets...

We only have "Collections" which are only used for true film sequels.

And the "Compilation" marker which can be used for thematic episodes or short films complilations.

Please make sure you read the guidelines before creating a new entry. smiley_cat

Wow, I never saw those banners before 8-)

I guess, I expected a smalish text-link or somewhat without graphics...

Thank you very much.
