An approval mod suggested I suggest this when I mentioned it, so here you are as text and text on a picture of the page in question.
New volunteers putting in TMDB and other IDs etc might just see "e.g. https://www.themoviedb.org/tv/ID" without any bold letters and not realize the page script adds the "https://themoviedb.org/tv/" to the hyperlink created (it's NOT, for people not inclined toward website creation, as intuitive as one might assume to automatically see a URL and think "ID=suffix/thing at end"-because you'd have to see ID and actually think much of it at all while zipping through edits). Sleepyheads like me might likewise not, since it isn't something I personally go in and edit very often, remember you only want the number, not the full page.
Approval staff are already swamped. It seems wasteful making them educate and re-educate us when at least for me it'd be sufficient to have clearer instructions below each box to enter IDs into. One of them suggested I suggest this, so here is your suggestion in tiny box text and bright red modified screenshot text.
Instead of " e.g. https://trakt.tv/ID " try
e.g. If address is https://trakt.tv/12345 , enter 12345
[[ OR 12345 OR 12345 OR 12345 OR 12345 OR 12345 OR 12345 ]]
Less ideal options but perhaps sufficient (It's not as dummy proof-points to self) and requiring less intrusion on your minimalist interface here:
e.g. https://trakt.tv/ [ID]
e.g. https://trakt.tv/ID
e.g. https://trakt.tv/ [ID]
OR
There's also the option of having https://trakt.tv/ etc IN THE BOX as if ALL we're doing is adding that ID to the site when all we're actually doing is your original request, "Number only, [ma'am, sir, elder, kiddo, darlin']"... then when we tap save, bam, it does what you wanted it to the whole time. You know, make it phantom text you can't edit out and whatever we type in there will appear after it:
| https://trakt.tv/ | |
Take your pick.
This (the full size pic) is how big it is on my screen by default, FWIW-I have normal currency coins thicker than it is high, and this is on a laptop, not a phone, most "smart" ones of which will blow it up, sure, but will "ID" stand out well enough? Most titles don't get their own twitter account, etc (it's usually the network/production company posting on their page along with other titles). so "HANDLE" I only saw in making this thread/popping them all out.
