Welcome to IMFDB

This is a very important document that explains how this website is setup as well as telling you what is and isn't allowed. If it is determined by an admin that you have not read these rules, your account will be suspended. Continued non-compliance may result in a permanent ban. After that you should also read the IMFDB Screencapping Guide and the IMFDB Style Guide to familiarize yourself with the image and formatting requirements for pages you create.

There are a number of pages that desperately need your help. You can find these Incomplete pages here.

'Western' categorization

For something to be considered of a particular category, it must meet the criteria of said category. The generally accepted definition of a 'western' in fiction is that it has to do with the 'wild west' aka 'old west' motif, IE set in the western US in the mid-to-late 19th or at most very early 20th century. You've put that tag on movies and shows that are set in times that are not in that period (some that take place in quite contemporary times), in places that aren't in the American 'west', and have no other major elements or aspects that fit into a 'western' paradigm. A character that wears 'cowboy' hats or uses a lever-action firearm or SAA does not by itself make that piece of media a 'western'. I've reverted these edits. Please refrain from doing any more edits like this. StanTheMan (talk) 22:16, 28 September 2020 (EDT)
