So now neither one is there. I can't add to TV or Movies in my library. Since its a movie can you re add https://www.themoviedb.org/movie/997521-obi-wan-kenobi-the-patterson-cut?

No, for two reasons:

  1. Obi-Wan Kenobi is a tv series, not a film. It belongs in the tv section - not the film section.
  2. Fan cuts or fan edits of content are not supported and will be removed https://www.themoviedb.org/bible/new_content/59f792cd9251413e93000004#59f7933c9251413e93000005

I was not the one to remove it, it must have been a moderator. I went to check the contribution bible before readding it to see if there was a way to do it restore it intead of manually creating a new entry and readding all the metadata. I didn't even have to read much of it before discovering that neither fan-edits nor alternate additions os movies are allowed in the database. It said: "Not Supported Below is a list of different types of content that we do NOT allow in the database. [...]

  • Fan films or fan web series
  • Fan-made content: fan cuts/fan edits, fan compilations, fan dubs, video reviews, fan-made trailers, and other types of videos (best of, AU, etc.)." "How should I add...? Alternative versions? We currently do not support alternative film versions—including extended editions, director cuts, 3D versions and fan cuts of previous films (e.g. a cut of all The Hobbit films as one film). Exceptions to this rule are very, very rare and DRASTIC changes are required. An example is The Return of Godzilla and Godzilla 1985. The former had extensive amounts of footage removed and added for localization. Another example is Nebo Zovyot and Battle Beyond the Sun. Any alternative version added without Travis' approval will be deleted. This is also true for TV series. Duplicate entries for alternative episode splits are not allowed." The link for the contribution bible, if you want to see it yourself is https://www.themoviedb.org/bible/new_content

Yes, what moderator Rebecca said. I was typing and it only updated to see there was a new message after I posted my message as well.

Thanks for the response @zoeankh and @rebecca.
