Moving an actor to another category (actor to self) - suggestion for usability improvement

I'm going through the credits for TV presenter Jeremy Clarkson. I notice that he has a number of credits in the Actor section which should be moved to Self.

I see that in the Update Page section, selecting Actor, there is now a new drop-down option "Move Category". Excellent. But the way that it has been implemented could be improved.

As soon as I select Move for one credit, it immediately takes me to a page that only displays that credit, and my only options are to submit the change of section for that credit, or to cancel.

It would be a lot more useful if I had the option to select Move for a whole series of credits, change Actor to Self for each of them, and then submit the whole lot in one go - which is the general design for all other changes (correct, delete, etc). In a long list, it is difficult to keep track of which credits I have and haven't already processed, when I can only submit them one change per submission.

What do other people thing? Good idea?

The following announcement post says:

Please be aware that you can currently only move the category for one credit at a time. We recognize that it would be useful to be able to move multiple items at once. This recent launch single-item category edits is a stepping stone towards eventually supporting that more complete functionality.

@Peter_pbn​ Fair enough. I wondered whether it was "work in progress". As long as there is a plan to do it at some stage, then that's perfect.

Yes, it's great for moving a credit. Not so great when there are incorrect credits across 100+ episodes of a series.
