Because nobody's submitted the data. The data on the IMDb is mainly provided by their users, these might be the film-makers or just fans. any registered user can submit information (including cast & crew). The submissions wil be checked & if accepted, will be added to the database -- SteveCrook (talk) 11:26, 4 February 2019 (UTC)
I'm not sure we should link Wikipedia guidelines from this article, as we are in this edit. This is a self-reference that is not really useful outside of the context of Wikipedia itself. That may sound a bit odd, but consider that Wikipedia's content is frequently forked or included into other projects, including printed books. Many people encounter our content outside of the context of this website, and including references to our guidelines is meaningless to them. NinjaRobotPirate (talk) 22:21, 22 October 2018 (UTC)
The usual IMDb URL format is https://www.imdb.com/title/tt########/. There are optional words you can add after the last / that will take you to a particular section of IMDb's information about a movie or TV show or other media. These words can be added by editing the URL in the address line. One is fullcredits which takes you to the full cast & crew page. Another is quotes which takes you to the page that users post quotes they think are important or very good. You could then bookmark that page in case you wanted to return to that page, such as the full cast & crew page or quotation page. It used to be that you could add the word complete to get a sidebar listing all of the categories of a media's information and it was always present so you did not have to go back to the media's home page. That was changed to reference a few years ago. But now reference does not work. Can a list of all of the words that can be added to the end of the IMDb URL for the media product your are looking for or viewing be added to this page? With a reference to where those words were found so the Wikipedia page can be updated as needed? I would but have not had much luck, so far, at finding a treasure trove of these words. I ask because I usually bookmark the IMDb page with the Complete/Reference modifier for every media product's page I visit if there is a possibility I will return to that page. And since I watch some movies over and over on DVD or TV shows on DVD, I am always returning that media product's page on my tablet or computer.

These are not command line options, at most you can call them a rudimentary API. Such content may be removed from Wikipedia articles on the grounds that Wikipedia is not a software manual. There are various software libraries which collect this information in various ways and may be interested in a plain text description, for instance https://imdbpy.github.io/ (others were removed). Otherwise, https://www.archiveteam.org/index.php?title=The_Internet_Movie_Database could use expansion too. Nemo 09:46, 7 February 2020 (UTC)
This can be useful information for people who did not know the feature. I think it is better to keep this contribution instead of doing censorship or vandalism by removing content that can help other users.
There is also nothing wrong when people mention the new PlayStation on the new Xbox Wikipedia article. --Baptx (talk) 21:48, 3 November 2020 (UTC)
I don't believe it's encyclopaedic. I fail to see how it improves an encyclopaedic article about IMDb to talk up Wikimedia searches on the IMDb article. Anyway we're not a how to guide, we don't get to tell readers how to interact with something. There are thousands of ways of interacting with IMDb's open dataset, and there's no reason to call out a Wikimedia project over any of the other forms. Additionally please read what WP:VANDALISM is. My reversion of your edit is most certainly not vandalism or censorship and your accusation is definitely not appropriate. Do not accuse other editors of censorship or vandalism like that.
