What are people's opinions on this?  I've got a cast list that has a section labelled "Extras" and lists a series of names in two columns.  Since they're extras, they have no roles assigned (and I'm unlikely to recognise anyone), so if I were to enter them, they'd have no role (which I don't see being a problem).  The question remains, do they get entered? (and I guess do I use a divider?)

As they are credited, there is no problem entering them.

For role, I would use 'Extra' and I would definitely not use any divider. (Although I'm sure many would use dividers)

I'd enter them too, but this part I especially agree with: a header under which no separate role names are used does not warrant the use of a divider. Like reybr, I feel that they should all simply be listed as 'Extra'.

That sounds like an excellent idea.  I'm about to go to bed now, but I think I'll probably run with that in the morning (assuming there are no better suggestions).

Since there's obviously a divider in the credits, I would use it too. But I admit that it's a matter of taste whether you do so.
But I strongly disagree with the "Role-Name", extra is not a role it's a job-description so I would leave the role-name blank.
It all seems so stupid, it makes me want to give up!
But why should I give up, when it all seems so stupid?
