Cast members moved to "self" incorrectly.

I've added reenactment to the plot keywords, as I saw in another thread that needs to be done with documentaries. But I don't see a way to move those cast members back to th

Company Formatting
I have two questions relating to contributions:1. Do companies that support productions count under production companies or miscellaneous companies?

Unit Production Assistant should be categorized under Location Management
The Unit Production Assistant position is actually part of the Locations department on a film, but IMDB currently has it categorized as Miscellaneous Crew.

Why no Grip Department category
Does anybody else find it strange that there is no classification for the Grip Department in the crew listing on a Film or TV Show? The Grips are found in a category of Camera and Electric.

Other Crew section of credits actually split into departments
I find it really frustrating that there are still major departments that are listed as "other crew" on the IMDb credits.

more departments to better cover video games
