Item: Wolf Warrior 2
Language: en
Type of Problem: Incorrect_content
Extra Details: Original Title is "wrong" - it should be "Zhan Lang 2" - but it is locked - so I can't change it !?!?
"Zhan Lang 1" https://www.themoviedb.org/movie/335462 "Zhan Lang 3" https://www.themoviedb.org/movie/504075-zhan-lang-3
So right now, if one search for "Zhan Lang" - only Wolf Warrior 1 + 3 will show up - not "Wolf Warrior 2"

Thanks for your report!
Actually, it's the other way around: The original title of this entry is correct, the other 2 are wrong!
If you take a look into the Contribution Bible, it says:
"Unlike some other databases, we do not romanize our original titles. The original title should be in the original script (e.g. Левиафан, 우리들). The romanized original titles can be added as alternative titles."
So, the original titles for those 3 movies are: 战狼 + 战狼2 + 战狼3
A small warning: There are many wrong original titles in the database, especially for Chinese movies. If you come across them, you can always correct them!
I don't speak/understand Chinese, but "Zhan Lang" is the literal (or romanized?) form of "战狼", isn't it? You should put such an alternative title into the section "Alternative Titles" of each movie -> for example here:
https://www.themoviedb.org/movie/335462/edit?active_nav_item=alternative_titles
If you do, the search engine is able to find all 3 movies: https://www.themoviedb.org/search?query=zhan+lang
You can read more about alternative titles in the Contribution Bible here: https://www.themoviedb.org/bible/movie/59f3b16d9251414f20000002
The url's are generated automatically by the original title -> I don't want to meddle with that just for the sake of consistency!
And another very important thing that you should pay attention to and keep in mind in the future:
Every name of a person should be added in English, not in Chinese, Russian, Arabic or else. Again, here's the paragraph in the Contribution Bible:
"We do not support name translations. All names should be readable in English (diacritic are allowed)."
You can put the translated person name into the section "Alternative Names" -> again, to find it via the search engine.
Again, a small warning: There are many wrong person names in the database -> if you come across them, you can change them or report them!
