Editors
If 10 editors are listed in the credits of an episode, are they then considered series editors and thus producing roles and should they be entered in the producer list? Or should they be entered in the editorial department?

Mecki: As indicated at https://help.imdb.com/article/contribution/filmography-credits/editors/GQPMLMBW9GMC67QR, "Commissioning editors and series editors are producing roles and should be included in the producer list." However, if these ten people's titles don't include the word "commissioning" or "series", then I wouldn't assume that they have producing roles.
If they are labeled in the credits simply as "Editors", then I would assume that they are meant to be editors and should be listed in IMDb as Editors (not the Editorial Department, which is for assistant editors and similar positions who report to the main Editor).

Gromit is correct. It’s also good to check what type of credits these persons have in their filmography.

Thanks to both of you for your help.
I had already read the help-link mentioned above.
The link also says "The editors section is for the main picture editor(s) only." And because I have not one single main editor but 10 credits equally labeled as editor, I thought I list all of them in the Editorial Department.
However, if you think it's better to list them all as editors, I will do so. :-)

It’s a same thing with many other occupations like cinematographers, art directors, costume designers etc. Usually there’s only one listed, but not always. Many (not talking about you Mecki) live in a bubble where only one person is responsible for some artictic area. Maybe in most Hollywood productions that’s the case.

Thanks again.
