Valid contribution declined

Is there an easy way to convert a page from a short film to a television episode?

Attribute not appearing
The attribute "created by" in this video essay (https://www.imdb.com/title/tt36960656/?ref_=nm_flmg_job_1_cdt_t_7) is not appearing both on the artist's page nor on the cast & crew page of the essay itself. It only appears when I try to edit the credit. Can IMDb fix it?
