Cast/crew guideline update

In this post last month, @Ozzy said guidelines would shortly be updated to clarify policy regarding people who appear on screen but should not be listed as cast. I don't see any updates yet.

It would be a good idea to post any updates in this thread so that more contributors are aware of them and so they can be discussed if necessary.

I see that the following paragraphs have been added to the cast guidelines, but the date at the top still says "Updated 21-December-2022". -- Dancers, singers, and chorus members (e.g, Wicked (2024) cast & crew) -- These can be listed as cast, only if they appear in the main cast section in the on-screen credits. If dancers, singers, or chorus members are credited separately from the main cast but appear on-screen, they should be listed as Additional Crew. Singers or chorus members who are credited but did not appear on-screen, can be listed in the Music Department. -- Additional voices (e.g, Elemental (2023)) -- These can be listed either in the Cast department or Additional Crew, based on where the credit appears in the on-screen end credits. If the Additional voice credit is part of the main cast section, it should be listed in Cast. But if the credit is separate from the main cast section, it should be listed in the Additional Crew department. See the Elemental (2023) cast and crew for an example of Additional voice credits being listed in the Additional Crew department.

These paragraphs don't mention what to do with people who are uncredited.

I would suggest removing this part from the cast guidelines because there are too many exceptions for it to be true - and it has a typo: If the person is in-front of the camera or providing their voice, then they are considered Cast and this article should provide an idea on how to credits should be listed on the website.

Also for the cast guidelines, the last section of the page, Cast Order, is not linked in the menu at the top.
