Cast order between on screen credits and person named in dialogue
I'm in the process of entering the cast of [link=tt0282912], a totally forgotten movie that will eventually be of interest to rock'n'roll music fans. I re-read IMDb guides for cast submissions, but it does not solve my problem. Between the Opening credits and the End credits (easy to enter in that order!) there is the movie proper, where two situations happen:
a) People appear with their name or an AKA, and their name is in the dialogue - in an order different than that used in the credits; should I forget it, and keep them in the printed credits order, or reposition them?
b) People appear with their name credited on screen along with their performance (in the present case, either as singers or wrestlers) either duplicating a print credit, or in addition to the two credit listings; again, what to do?
I ask this because the same situations all the time, and I witnessed many in documentaries, TV shows... So, may be an addition explanation about the ordering entry in the Guides would be beneficial for more users.
Thanks.

Hello artemis_9
We list credits based on the onscreen listing found in the movie or show (usually the end credits), to answer question A, yes keep the order as found in the end credits, as mentioned in the Credit Order guideline.
For the "performance" or "character" you have a place to enter the position or character that was performed and you can add it to specify (either as singers or wrestlers), as showed in the Cast/acting guidelines.
