What's the difference between an IMDb page and user profile?
This article covers the following topics:
What is an IMDb account?
A user account is associated with your IMDb login and every registered email has one.
It's connected to your general activity across IMDb.com - giving you the ability to interact with:
- user ratings
- user lists
- badges
- contributions
There's a "Your Activity" page (e.g. https://www.imdb.com/user/ur1000000/) which lets you see a history of the these features.
What is an IMDb name page?
An IMDb name page (e.g. https://www.imdb.com/name/nm0350453) displays information relating to a person's industry portfolio, such as:
- filmography
- biography
- trivia
- news
This information is freely contributable by all sorts of user accounts via the Edit page button. These requests are then reviewed by a member of the IMDb team.
Using a user account to claim a name page
To claim a name page with an IMDbPro membership, you must have a user account - then follow our instructions on how to claim your page (you can create a new name page if you don't already have one) and these are then linked together.
