The guidelines say IMDb goes by US punctuation, so I ended a quote US style: "Example."
It was auto-fixed to UK punctuation with the period placed outside the quote: "Example.".
But the period inside the quote was kept too, which is not US or UK.
If I end the quote with no period at all, I get: The following fixes have been applied automatically. "quotation mark test" has been converted to "quotation mark test".
That's better, but it's not US punctuation.
These auto-fixes cannot be corrected. I went ahead and submitted a Trivia addition in the auto-fixed version with 2 periods, but I now suspect it will be denied because of that error.
Can someone look into this auto-fixing into UK punctuation? Thanks to all for your help!

Lessons in punctuation were not asked for.
He is asking for policy on punctuation.
Please be a better contributor. And do not reply to this or justify your answer.
There is none.

In french we only keep one period to avoid the repetition.
Example:
« Ne fuyez pas, couardes et viles créatures, car c'est un seul chevalier qui vous attaque. » (we only have a period to end the quote)

It may be useful to you.
It is USELESS to the question asked.
They already know these things that you do not.
They are seeking a clarification by IMDb.
Not the useless chatter buy us.
