Frequently Asked Question
Often, you’ll find TV content that already exists on TheTVDB that may need to be updated, edited, or in very rare cases, removed from the site.
A good portion of this content is unlocked, which means that any user can add, edit, or change any info associated with the series.
If you feel any unlocked series, season, episode, or any other information needs editing, we urge you to search our archived forums or Series Specific Information section first before making the edits. There’s a very good chance someone else has thought of making the same edits before, which means there’s likely an Admin/Mod response to the edits already in the forums. Failure to do this may make an admin “lock” a series, to prevent fighting over changes (see Requesting Changes to Locked Series).
Under no circumstances should you remove data from episodes you feel should be deleted. Users work hard to enter information into the database, and deleting episodes will negate their efforts.
