This is particularly applicable to pages that are made while a movie is in theaters and the only pics we can get are publicity photos/trailer screencaps, because such pages will never be complete until the DVD/Blu-Ray comes out (which won't be for several months at least).

You misunderstand me. I'm talking about slapping a tag on a page that someone just started building. IMHO it's ridiculous to slap an {incomplete} tag on a page fifteen minutes after it's been created. It's ridiculous to slap a {noeffort} tag on a page that was made 30 minutes ago. Not everyone can dump an entire complete page on IMFDB in a minute (we have some members who do that, but they chose to do an exceptional amount of work BEFORE uploading anything).
There is also the
etiquette of not editing someone's page when they are in the process of building it. When I look at a recent changes history, I can tell when someone is building a page. I don't touch it until some time has passed. The ONLY time I may edit (after taking a peek) is to correct an obviously WRONG Identification of a gun, but that is rare.
edit: The {incomplete} tag, though most gentle of ALL of the tags, is still insulting in that it is someone OPENLY CALLING all other members to
complete your work for you, since "you (the page creator) obviously cannot or will not complete the page to minimum IMFDB specs"....
Hope this helps.
