Please thank Travis from us. Logic and common sense wins.

@superboy97 can I ask how TMDB team would like to handle the external ids to IMDB for these season 01 entries ? As the movie entries for these shorts have the external ids to IMDB already entered we cannot add them a second time to the episodes. This will effect imported ratings overtime ultimately resulting with less rating going against the shows episodes over the movie shorts.

Maybe there is a plan to remove the short movies (which I'm not advocating BTW) but it would seem to make more sense to have the IMDB external ids linked from the episodes rather than the shorts.

I just add them without problem. The same IMDB Id can be added to a movie and to an episode at the same time, this is 2 separate bases.

The decision for the short movies is not yet finalised.

Thanks. Normally TMDB will detect if an id has already been used but it seems its allowed for stuff which is a movie and a tv episode.

Regardless, having two entries with the same external ids means that only the first one will be imported, in this case the shorts. See -> https://www.themoviedb.org/settings/import-list/status/64fae493a35c8e00adc49412 for an import I just done for these shorts/episodes. Would it be better to remove imdb ids from the movie shorts or should we just wait until a final decision is made on the shorts ?
