Movie title abbreviations
posted by Michell BakSTAFFMOD on January 27, 2013 at 11:19 AM
Is it possible to add a field for any potential abbreviations of movie titles?
Anyway, an example could be that a user searches for "HP1" (or "Harry Potter 1") and expects to get the first movie in the Harry Potter series returned.
I'm not sure if "Alternative titles" is the correct place for this. The field is used for something similar with some movies, i.e. The Amazing Spider-Man, which has "Spiderman 4" as an alternative title.
Any thoughts / guidelines?

Good question. My hunch would be that alternative titles is the proper place for this at the time being.
That should be removed. IIRC Spiderman 4 was just a working title before the movie had an official name.

Yep, I think so as well.
Any thoughts from Travis?
