Hello,

I submitted two new Chinese dramas to MDL and added all information I could get from the websites where I found them (in the case iQiyi and The Movie DB), including adding the links to their pages in the websites.  It's close to a week since I submitted the first one and I have not heard anything about it.  MDL's pages for adding new content do not let me add other information, such as the services where they are available, files such as fanart, photos, etc.  probably because it's waiting for the first approval.    How long is the expected time for new content review and approval?

Thanks!

Hi, you can keep track of your submissions here : 

https://kisskh.at/edit/pending/titles

In my experience, a month is the usual pending period for new titles. No need to worry—the Approval Staff will get to it! Once the titles are approved you'll be able to add more details. 

Since you mentioned fanart, definitely check out this link first:

https://kisskh.at/discussions/support/143628-photo-upload-rules-report-thread 

MDL is pretty strict about using official promotional material only (no fan-made edits, fanart, screenshots...), so that thread will help you make sure your photos don't get rejected or reported later.

Good luck!

the last one i did like 10-15 days ago took around a week for hong kong and japan but i think the queue for china is much larger so it will take  more i guess.
If its a soon to air drama or its airing u can go to discord and tell them so they approve it sooner.

have 20 actors pending in the list (Maximum and wanna add 2-4 more),the earliest one i added and not approved was 3rd of february,the latest 14th march so not only you if it makes you feel better xd.

Thanks everyone!  It's about a week that I submitted them.   

I got curious because some of my edits to existing titles are approved or rejected very fast.  Since I did not hear anything about it, I was wondering if I missed something (this was the first time submitting new titles).    Both titles have been already released on iQiyi and are available in the global website and even TMDB has them, but I have not seen anything about them here on MDL.

Also thanks for the links!  I checked that both my new title submissions are pending, but since one month is normal, I'll just keep track.  In the meantime I'll check the link about fanart and other content.   For the posters, I got them in TMDB and they look like the official ones.   I picked the versions with Chinese titles instead of English. 

Cheers!

At least it gives me an estimation.

I added mine around february 14th.

Did you get to know why it wasn't approved ?

oh my goodness thank you, I didn't know there was a way to keep track of submissions.

You're welcome! ^^ 

There is a ton of useful information buried in the forums; it’s just not always easy to track down. Checking the Approval Staff profiles is also a great ressource—they post specific guidelines or updates there that can be really helpful!

Cheers! Happy submitting!

 If one month is usual time at least it means it didn't fall into a pit of lost actors  😊
But yes ... I was wondering too as I have no idea of how long it takes to handle those and how many people are available.

I guess I'll start to worry when we'll reach 2 month ° -°)/

Thanks for this, I didn't even realise mine was approved until I checked.It actually got approved super quick.

I reckon there should be a notification for submission status changes.

Yuanwei Volunteer Staff

Hello!

Due to the increased volume of New Titles, we are currently focusing only on them, along with the submissions to existing titles. Indeed, Chinese titles have the most backlog at the moment, and we are doing our best to bring the number down.

We have an ongoing project on how the staff are dealing with the new title submissions, so you might notice recent submissions for other countries, minus China, are up on the site faster. 

We are hoping everything will go back to normal for that section in 1-2 weeks, and after that, we can also focus on New People and bring that section to normal as well.

Thank you for your patience and understanding!
