Raiders of the Lost Ark (1981)

I've noticed that IMDb recently started listing the movie "Raiders of the Lost Ark" as "Indiana Jones and the Raiders of the Lost Ark", which is incorrect and irritates me greatly. I've attempted to correct this problem many title, but IMDb won't let me change it back because it's still listed under the correct title on its "title corrections" page. Anybody know how to troubleshoot this? It annoys me to know that IMDb would intentionally leave a movie mistitled on its official page. How can we trust any information provided by this site if they can't get something as basic as a movie's title right?

"Raiders of the Lost Ark" is the original title.
"Indiana Jones and the Raiders of the Lost Ark" is the World-wide recognized DVD title.

Some people prefer only original titles, while others prefer to see the franchise prefix for comfortable search results. Anyway, it is great to know those both variants are in use on the title page:
https://www.imdb.com/title/tt0082971/releaseinfo
and both are searchable for the benefit of all users.
