Has something changed recently to add other countries to the TV ratings ? As an example, I'm seeing Ireland listed https://www.themoviedb.org/tv/155533-manhunt/edit?active_nav_item=content_ratings and I seem to remember in the past this was not possible.

Thanks Travis for adding the Chile certifications. I see a new one called "UR". What does it mean? I can't find it in the articles from my previous post.

It stands for "Unrated". The film classification board didn't rate the movie.

Belgium is missing any kind of rating while they have standardized the ratings a few years ago. Please add the official ratings (very similar to the ones from the Netherlands): Official info: https://www.kijkwijzer.be (dutch) / https://www.cinecheck.be (French)
Basically you have these age ratings:
Next to that you have additional content advice (note sure if this is possible in TMDB):
At least the age ratings should be available.

Belgium has multiple systems in place (making it more difficult)

Hello! For Costa Rica I leave the request. Thanks in advance.
In Costa Rica, age ratings for movies and TV shows are assigned by the Comisión de Control y Calificación de Espectáculos Públicos (CCEP). This commission, part of the Ministry of Justice and Peace, uses a system of color-coded classifications to indicate suitability for different age groups. The system uses white for no restrictions (suitable for all ages), yellow for advisory (parental guidance suggested), purple for strong advisory (not recommended for younger audiences), red for restricted (parental accompaniment required), and black for prohibitive (only for older audiences).
Here's a breakdown of the color-coded system:
White: Suitable for all ages or aimed at young audiences.
Yellow: Parental guidance suggested for a designated age range.
Purple: Not recommended for a younger audience, but not restricted.
Red: Parental accompaniment required for younger audiences.
Black: Exclusively for older audiences or restricted to licensed premises

Hello, can the content rating be also added for Croatia. The first regulation on the Categorization of Audiovisual Works in Croatia was introduced by the Croatian Audiovisual Centre (HAVC) in 2014. And since then, every tv show or movie either on cinema website or similar like blogs that talk about movies/shows, movie distributor or during tv broadcast - it needs to show the rating.
These are the ratings for it:
Technically there is for "All ages" category, but it's not necessary to mark it separately with a symbol, and any film that is not specifically marked with a symbol of another category above is considered to belong to the category.
More info here in english from Wiki fandom, since I couldn't find any official statement in english version. If you want official statement in Croatian, check it under "Način označavanja kategorija filmova" at "Članak 4."
