Hi!

I'd like a function to remove all existing birth years from the database.

-- The correct ones could be easily reestablished by updating all profiles...

Regards, AA

Expanding a little bit: I'd especially like a feature that shows me a list of cast/crew entries that have a birth year attached. That way I wouldn't lose all the work on birth years I did myself, yet I'd be able to spot "questionable" entries right away and delete those manually. That would be a huge improvement over having to scroll through thousands and thousands of cast entries to check for unneeded birth years (I've done so a few times after importing headshot databases, and trust me: it gets really old really soon).

Additionally - and I have asked for this before - I would like a central point on the site where we keep track of accepted/documented/needed birth years. That could be in the form of a pinned forum thread, but preferably something from Invelos' side, maybe somewhere near the "credit lookup" tool. Some kind of semi-automatically updated list for approved updates, maybe with links to the contribution notes of the contribution which first got the birth year accepted in the database.

For a quick & dirty solution, see the XSLT script in this thread.

That'll be very useful - thanks!!
