Submitted Credits Not Showing on IMDb After Approval

Hi everyone, I’m facing an issue with updating credits on IMDb and was hoping someone here could guide me. A few weeks ago, I submitted corrections and additions to a film’s crew list, including assistant directors and a sound engineer who were missing from the page. The submission seemed to go through successfully, and I even received the standard confirmation email from IMDb. After checking my contribution history, I noticed the updates show as “approved,” which I assumed meant they would appear on the film’s page within a few days. However, it has now been more than 10 days and none of the changes are visible on the live title page. This has left me confused since in past cases, updates usually appeared within 2–3 days. It feels a bit like waiting for a table at a busy Texas Roadhouse, you know you’re in the system, but you’re not sure when you’ll actually be seated. For this, waitlist can be a game-changer which you can check from here https://thetexasroadhousemenu.com/. I tried to verify whether I might have made an error in the way I formatted the credits, but everything looks correct. The department and role descriptions match IMDb’s guidelines, and I didn’t see any warnings or rejections in the submission details. This makes me wonder if the issue could be on IMDb’s backend side rather than my entry. Has anyone else experienced a similar delay where the contribution is marked as approved but doesn’t show up publicly? If so, how long did it take for your changes to finally appear? I want to make sure I’m not missing an extra step that I should have completed to finalize the update. Any help or clarification would be greatly appreciated. I’d also be open to suggestions on whether I should resubmit the credits or raise a support ticket directly with IMDb staff. Thanks in advance to anyone who can shed light on this situation.
