Discuss American Idol

Item: American Idol

Language: en-US

Type of Problem: Incorrect_content

Extra Details: Please lock the status of the show to Cancelled. I'm pretty sure the status was locked to Cancelled last time I chekced (a mod, Banana made this status change to cancelled).

I think what must have happened was since a user, oldboy3 incorrectly added a "season 17" on the show, the TMDb Bot automatically changed the status of the show to Returning Series- and its locked that way! Is there anyway you can lock the show- stop people from adding seasons aswell? I feel like people are gonna keep on adding new seasons all the time in the future not knowing that there is a separate entry for the rebooted series on the database here. Which will constantly cause the TMDb Bot to change the status of the show to Returning Series, and another user like me will have to report it again and again everytime because its locked and cant be changed back to Cancelled by users.

Alternatively, if the show's seasons/episodes cannot be locked, can you stop the TMDb Bot from changing the status from Cancelled to Returning Series even if someone adds a new season? If that can be done then that might help direct users who want to add info for the rebooted series to think twice and maybe find their way to that series's entry and contribute their info there instead.

The status has been changed by TMDB Bot again because of a user adding new season xD. I see that changes are underway to fix this problem: here and here. So maybe I'll only check there are no extra incorrect seasons after those solutions have been finalized grin'

EDIT: Or you can just take this as an indication to check this series once those solutions are completed and leave this opened rather than close it and only remove the seasons then and not now.

I removed the bad seasons again. v
