I recently tried to change the title of episodes for Feud to include the season title (as has been done for other anthology type series). I corrected all of the titles to include "Bette and Joan" but 8 days later (and the processing page showing the oldest title still being process is May 23 and my submissions were on May 18). Any idea why these changes weren't processed (or rejected)?
Also, maybe IMDb needs to add the ability to add season (or even sub-season titles as shows like Agents of Shield have arc names that can change mid-season.)

Although we appreciate your thoughts our policy still stands. Thanks for understanding.

Can you please point out where this policy exists? Because it isn't in the episode guide. Pretty much all the guides need to be updated because things have changed since the guides were written. I doubt that anthology series really existed when the guides were written.
When I merged "Making of the Mob: New York" and "Making of the Mob: Chicago", I was told by another IMDb employee to add the season titles to the episodes (since there is really no good way of adding a season title. This is really something IMDb should be implementing). So, if this is policy, it is not widely known or widely adhered to it. It seems like it is up to whoever enters the data and what the data editors accept.
This kind of answer makes it seem like IMDb doesn't care about what the users or people who spend a good deal of time entering data care about.
It is very frustrating to me personally that you don't seem to care about the issue at all. I'll ask again since you did not answer my previous question. What good is the AKA data if it appears nowhere on the site? I searched "American Horror Story" and could find no links that would take me to the AKA page that list the season titles. (And the AKA page is a wasteland of useless information that includes all kinds of foreign language titles that aren't particularly interesting.)

Season titles are mentioned in the submission guide for alternate titles.
Title pages mention AKAs in the 'Details' section with a link to the release info/AKA page. Alternate titles also show up in search results.

There are other series, like of Gotham which has two different arc titles for season 3 http://www.imdb.com/title/tt3749900/episodes?ref_=tt_ov_epl, that include the arc/season title along with the episode title (which at least makes it visible). For American Horror Story, there is nothing indicative on an episode page to tell you what the season title is.
It doesn't look like the TV Episode submission guide covers this so may be that is why it is inconsistent. Most TV episodes don't have an "title as it appears on screen" and I believe most of that information is derived from stuff like the TV guide
or whatever your cable box displays for the title of an episode.
It seems to me that this information should be displayed on both the season pages and on individual episode pages, not buried in the AKA for the series page.
