I'm a bit confused as wether to contribute Crew members on TV-Series or not. The rules state to list Cast Members appropriately, and use divider feature accordingly, but does not say anything about cast members.

I have noticed contributions being made (and being approved) with crew members, but I don't want to use lots of time contributing them if it is in fact wrong...

It hasn't been addressed explicitly, but the v2.x rules expressly forbid crew members in TV profiles, whereas it is left open in v3, so people are doing it. I definitely agree with having them included.

If the crew are credited on the episodes then there's no problem with adding them to the profile.
And, like the cast, you can separate them with dividers.

You not only CAN separate them with dividers, you probably SHOULD do so - otherwise all you'll have is a long list of directors, for example.

In my opinion dividers SHOULD be used. The inability to differenciate the episodes was the main reason crew were not allowed in Profiler 2. Now that we have this ability, we should use it!

To expand upon what Ken has said here. If you don't use dividers a have one large mass of undifferentiated data which is worthless. I think the largest set of data I have seen for TV is 38 episodes, so you would up to 38 pieces of data with no way to define who did what in what Episode(s).

So use the dividers, that is why we have them.
