Problem with "(also archive footage)"
In these 2 titles
http://www.imdb.com/title/tt0899196/
http://www.imdb.com/title/tt0095949/
I put "(also archive footage)" in the field "Attribute" of some members of the cast, but this attribute, which appears in the edit page of these titles, is not just displayed on the page of the titles themselves, as if it had not been published. I think this is a bug to fix, since on the contrary "(archive footage)" and "(uncredited)" are displayed as expected.

Regarding the attribute (also archive footage) here is another statistic which updates the one I published in that related thread. These data are collected from the plain text files actors.list and actresses.list (2 Oct 2015):
. Credits with attribute (as...) : 1,274,774 (5.0%)
. Credits with attribute (voice) : 1,076,669 (4.2%)
. Credits with attribute (uncredited) : 894,698 (3.5%)
. Credits with attribute (footage) : 322,013 (1.3%)
. Credits with attribute (credit only) : 190,536 (0.8%)
. Credits with attribute (scenes deleted) : 4,173 (< 0.1%)
. Credits with attribute (also as...) : 881 (< 0.01%)
. Credits with attribute (also archive footage) : 22,843 (0.1%)
. . Credits with both (also archive footage) and (archive footage) : 12
. . Credits with both (also archive footage) and (credit only) : 375
Much handier to correct are two combinations of attributes notably confusing:
A) CREDITS WITH BOTH (ALSO ARCHIVE FOOTAGE) AND (ARCHIVE FOOTAGE) :
-- 12 credits in 3 titles --
B) CREDITS WITH BOTH (ALSO ARCHIVE FOOTAGE) AND (CREDIT ONLY) :
-- 375 credits in 112 titles --
(If the attribute (also archive footage) is no longer accepted, I wonder how it is possible that this number has increased from 344 to 375 since the last time I checked it, about 10 months ago

But, if nothing else, any credits with both attributes should be rejected, as you stated above.

Thanks for your recent submissions re. the above to remove 'Credit Only' and 'Voice' attributes when both attached to the same cast listing.
Following on from a discussion, we have decided it is better for these two credits to persist on animated titles and not be removed. This is for the sake of consistency, as it is highly likely that the other episodes in the series on which a cast member is both credited and featured, they will be playing a voice-only role.
Regards,
TV Cast Manager.

They need to be removed and it needs to be made impossible for them to be reutilized in the future.
Moreover, at least one new one has crept in somehow for the number of them has begun to increase again! I am not quite sure how that is possible.
I would be happy to remove any of these if I could be supplied with the links to them, starting ones with the lowest numbers of instances first and gradually working up the list.

The number of attributes available to contributors is on the increase again sadly, 2 new ones have (re-)appeared. 'story' and 'stand-in' recently. I am not sure why. Other attributes have also increased in number (of cases).
Is there any way I can find where these attributes are in the database (the ones with less than 50 instances - there are less than 20 of them) so I can submit appropriate corrections please?

Sorry for my late response, but I've been really busy at work recently (weak hearts and cold winters don't get along well...) and I barely have spare time. To compensate, here's an update for every list you had requested above.
The only downside is that plain text files haven't been updated by
A) (ARCHIVE FOOTAGE) WITH (ALSO ARCHIVE FOOTAGE) :
27 Nov: 1 credit in 1 title
B) (ARCHIVE FOOTAGE) WITH (CREDIT ONLY) :
27 Nov: 62 credits in 5 titles
C) (ALSO ARCHIVE FOOTAGE) WITH (CREDIT ONLY) :
27 Nov: 128 credits in 41 titles
D) (UNCREDITED) WITH (CREDIT ONLY) :
27 Nov: 3 credits in 3 titles
E) (VOICE) WITH (CREDIT ONLY) (excluding titles with animation genre):
E1) By names:
27 Nov: 306 credits in 113 names
27 Nov: 306 credits in 171 titles
F) (ALSO ARCHIVE FOOTAGE) :
F1) By names:
27 Nov: 22,289 credits in 12,010 names
27 Nov: 22,289 credits in 8,095 titles
G) (VOICE) WITH (ARCHIVE VOICE) :
30 Oct: 9 credits for 6 names in 3 titles
H) (UNCREDITED) WITH (AS...) :
30 Oct: 85 credits for 59 names in 71 titles

I1) By names:
15 Jan: 5,135 credits in 1,925 names (note that 3,966 credits have the year range within the character field so in a few cases it might be correct)
I2) By titles:
15 Jan: 5,135 credits in 2,076 titles

Here's an update with data from the current available plain text files (22 Apr 2016) [note that your latest submissions 4 days ago aren't reflected on them yet]. I've added two new listings with interesting nonsensical combinations: (uncredited) & order number (see this related thread); and unneeded (as...) attributes (identical with primary name). Also, I've included another listing of names inspired by a finding while compiling list M1 (see below):
A) (ARCHIVE FOOTAGE) WITH (ALSO ARCHIVE FOOTAGE)
:
9 Mar: 0 credits
B) (ARCHIVE FOOTAGE) WITH (CREDIT ONLY) :
9 Mar: 10 credits for 10 names in 1 title
C) (ALSO ARCHIVE FOOTAGE) WITH (CREDIT ONLY) :
9 Mar: 0 credits
D) (UNCREDITED) WITH (CREDIT ONLY) :
9 Mar: 0 credits
E) (UNCREDITED) WITH (SCENES DELETED) :
9 Mar: 2 credits for 2 names in 2 titles
F) (SCENES DELETED) WITH (CREDIT ONLY) :
9 Mar: 14 credits for 14 names in 9 titles
G) (VOICE) WITH (CREDIT ONLY) (excluding titles with animation genre):
9 Mar: 354 credits for 118 names in 176 titles

- Ben McCain: 28 credits.
- Paulo Goulart Filho: 26 credits.
- Kirk Thornton: 26 credits.
- Charlotte Karlinder: 25 credits.
- Don McGovern: 24 credits. This is an interesting case: this actor is stored internally as 'McGovern , Don' instead of 'McGovern, Don' (the additional whitespace after McGovern should be removed). This finding made me wonder how many names are stored in a similar fashion, so I searched for them and the results are listed in section N.
