Credit Category Corrections: Moving Credits to Another Department Option
We are pleased to announce the recent launch of a new "Move category" option when contribution corrections to Cast and Crew on IMDb and IMDbPro. We encourage you to use this new option instead of deleting and re-adding singular credits.
If you click "Edit" next to the credits on a title or name page, then choose "Correct/Delete" next to one of the credit categories, you will now see a "Move category" option in the "Action" menu in the contribution form on the following page.
Clicking "Move category" will then open a new tab where you can directly edit the category of that credit. Previously, the only way to modify a credit's category was by deleting it entirely before separately re-adding it under the correct credit.
Please be aware that you can currently only move the category for one credit at a time. We recognize that it would be useful to be able to move multiple items at once. This recent launch single-item category edits is a stepping stone towards eventually supporting that more complete functionality.
As with any new feature, we're eager to hear your thoughts!
Please share your experience with this feature on this thread, and let us know how we can continue to improve your IMDb experience.

Although I have received the standard acknowledgment email for these submissions, they are not listed in my contribution history. Can this be changed? I rarely keep the emails, but never delete anything in my history.

I am in a similar position to Gray having worked in a color department and having many color credits I would like to change to the new Colour Dept.
IMDB support has advised I need to provide screen grabs of credits per show in order to do this which isn’t practical.
Are you able to assist me in a similar way?
Note from support
"2- Have these credits always be listed within the editing department at IMDb or were they recently moved to Editorial?
I ask this because, if they have always been listed under Editorial, then unfortunately they would need to be moved manually, and you would need to make each separate request, and attach the appropriate evidence confirming they belong to a different department, The evidence requested for already released titles is a screen grab of the rolling credits where your name and role performed are displayed."
