Wikipedia is awesome. I've been posting weekly for over a year to !bmoviebonanza@lemmy.world and so far there's only been like 1 movie that wasn't on wikipedia.
However, putting a lot of requirements might discourage posting here?
Yeah, sorry guys, I had nothing to do with this post. It was my lazy ass posting. It just wants to click a link and be taken to the movie info. It wasn't me.

Agreed. As long as you post the title and year, that should be plenty to let people find the movie themselves.
A wiki and/or movie DB page is good if it's particularly obscure, but shouldn't be required.

As far as I know, Wikipedia doesn't have a standardized way to upload details about films.
Sites like themoviedb.org does and because of that it can be used as a scraper for media metadata.
