Apology's if this as already been asked. If the end credits have the cast in sections with headers like this

Should the cast list be entered like this or should they be ignored

Agreed with Goblin.  Now if it was something like a category like saying "Eloi" and a list of names instead of a list of name with "Eloi" after it, that could be used as a header/divider.

Personally, I would not enter it.  While I recognize there are some who might want to exactly recreate what appears on the screen, for me personally it's not useful.  My database is to conveniently look things up and this kind of stuff just creates clutter.  If I really want to see this great junk, I can watch the DVD...god forbid.  But that's my opinion.  I'd vote neutral on this kind of thing and tear it out locally if it ever crept in.


Someone else's comment regarding role grouping as it appears in the credits has merit.  But stuff like AND, WITH, FEATURING, etc. has almost zero use for me.

I agree with the others not to enter them. They provide no usefull information.

I'd really like some guidance for this in the rules. For the record: I voted to ignore these. But this thread shows the problem quite nicely: some users indicate they wouldn't vote no. In the smaller localities, contributions like this have a bigger chance of getting approved, and for those that don't use the dividers, it gets a lot harder to do cast updates. There is a lot of room for personal preference here: basically the first contributor for a new profile gets to choose how he handles things, and from then on it will be quite hard to change, as opinions will often be split over what is "correct". Ideally, I would like the rules to specifically define when dividers should be used, so that we're all on the same page.

I voted for ignoring them and would vote no on a contribution adding them. To me, the only use of dividers is to separate different cast lists. No group roles, no headers. Only to separate different cast lists.

The topic of dividers was brought up just a week ago in this thread

And I agree with T!M. We really need to get this clarified in the rules (I hope Ken will give us his intentions and ideas about the dividers as well)

Those headers in the screenshot do not contain any useful informations. IMHO those kind of "headers" are not covered by the rules because they do not distinguish anything.

Therefore using dividers with a name like "AND" or "WITH" seems to me absurd. So I choosed "ignore them"!

Yes i think there is a difference between what i posted about and something like this

Which i think they should be included in the profile.
