Correcting a title song over multiple episodes
The title song for "That '70s Show" has errors in the songwriter name.
The entry that appears in the 'Soundtracks' section for nearly 200 episodes is
2. The songwriter's name is actually 'Ben Vaughn (II)'.
3. Some entries lack the 'uncredited' attribute, and it is unclear as to whether it should refer to the songwriter or to the song title.
Looking at the 'Soundtrack' entries for the overall title, the entry for the title song appears as
The entry that appears in the 'Soundtracks' section for nearly 200 episodes is
That '70s Song: Written by 'Ben Vaughan (II)' (uncredited)1. There is no (qv) after the name.
Performed by Cheap Trick

That '70s Song (In the Street): (uncredited)Is there a way to correct all the entries in one or several updates, rather than having edit 197 separate entries?

First, in order to hyperlink the name, you will need to update the data to include the proper formatting: 'Firstname Lastname' (qv)
For example: 'Paul Newman' (qv)
Second, if the songwriters name is "Ben Vaughn (II)" and not "Ben Vaughan (II)", you will need to submit the name correction within the applicable Soundtrack items.
Third, to clarify, when there is a soundtrack item that is uncredited and the songwriter is also uncredited, it should be formatted as:
Lastly, unfortunately, because Soundtrack listings are listed independently on each episode title page, there isn't a way to update the Soundtrack data in bulk for this series; you will need to submit the corrections/updates individually.

I just posted an essential Idea which would make an editing task such as this which applies to all (or multiple) episodes of a series exponentially faster. It will require votes in order to be implemented:
Add ability to edit episodes from series page
And I found these 2 Ideas after the fact which overlap with mine, as they didn’t show up in the results from my initial searches. I suggest voting for these too:
Make it possible to contribute to multiple episodes at the same time
Add release date for multiple episodes and/or seasons
