I might be missing something, but it seems that this page (http://www.tvmaze.com/request/create) is almost completely hidden and difficult to find. The only apparent link to it is when it randomly appears in the top right corner of *some* pages as this rotating image/link: http://tvmazecdn.com/images/tvmads/find_show.png
Shouldn't there be an easier way to get to that page?

You also get to it when you search for a show and the show is not found, then you get a link to the request a show page :)

Personally I think it should show the link to it regardless of whether there's any search results or not.

If there's even a single show then it won't be displayed - however that might not be the correct show; even if the title is an exact match to what you searched for, it's possible that it's another show with the exact same name as what you were looking for.

I agree with that and will bring this up to david and Jan :)

I don't mind it being almost completely hidden. That raises the threshold a bit and only people that are above interested and familiar with the site will add shows, and in my mind both reducing the volume of spam and increasing the quality of the requests.

You can also find it in the footer and if you make a search with zero results you'll also get an info box asking if you'd like to request it.

cheers,
