Has the points for requests, or other changes to how it's calculated been implemented?
I'm just asking as I'm sure my points went up by around 1000 today despite not doing much.

No, it wasn't the points for requesting series, but David did a recalculation of editing points. So specific edits will earn more points than others. I assume it just became live :)

Will the amount of points per type of edit be publicised or will that be kept from us?

Yes, there will soon be more stats about contribution points :)

Indeed, we've begun rolling out changes in this area. We'll make an announcement soon when everything is complete!

Souten Kouro

The series might have been rejected before with that ID for not having a channel I guess? Could you submit it without ID (I can add it later) if you are sure it broadcasts on TV

I've been trying to figure out how to add some of the Rankin/Bass Christmas shows. How do I do that? Also, where do I find the number on imdb to add a show or movie?

every imdb link has a different tt number in the url...

this is the number that should be used, for example scrubs imdb no. is tt0285403

http://www.imdb.com/title/tt0285403/

hope this helps

1. Go here: http://www.tvmaze.com/request

2. Take a quick look at the lists to check it hasn't recently been requested.

3. Click Request a show at the bottom of the page

Though one thing to mention about movies is that only TV movie series with continuous plots (like Sharknado) are allowed, see the FAQ for more details.

Regarding the specific request, I assume you're meaning the ones here - If so, I'm not sure if they're allowed as the plot's different, they just share a common theme (Christmas).

Bungle has already shown how to get the imdb title =]

The past week we've been overwhelmed with a lot of new users requesting shows to be added to our database. To streamline this process, we have now launched a tool to make it easier for everyone to request a new show; and to make it easier for us to add your requests.

From now on, to request a show, please go here: http://www.tvmaze.com/request

After verifying that the show you want to request isn't already in the list of pending suggestions, click "Request a Show" to start the process. In the form, please enter as much information about the show as you can provide. The more information is included in your request, the easier it'll be for us to verify and approve it. If you have additional information for your request (for example: to let us know that the network the show airs on is not yet added to TVmaze), please use the "comments" field.

After your request is created, someone with access to add shows to TVmaze will check it out as soon as possible. If all goes well, the request will be added and be moved to the "Approved" list. If your request can't be added, it'll be rejected and the discussion will likely move to this thread.

Feel free to keep using this thread for questions and discussion.

Hi David,

I recently requested a show and it was rejected. Is there a way to find out why?

Also, I've tried to check requested shows in order to avoid duplication but, the only way I see to do this is "Find in this page" on page after page of previous requests. Is there a simpler way of checking?

Thanks for including "Under Suspicion" and thanks to all of you for such an invaluable site.
