Set Decoration as its own category

We, as Set Decorators, and those who work with us in our (own unique) department, would like to be separate from the Art Department.  The Set Decorator, as a department head, makes his or her own hiring decisions and our crew members should be grouped with us, please.

Uhm, Set Decorator is already it's own separate category. Other set decorating jobs do fall under art department. I don't think IMDb is going to create a bunch of new categories because there is already significant problems in knowing where some people should be credited.

Buyer, Leadman, Set Dresser, Draper, On-Set Dresser, Coordinator -- just to name a few -- all are under Set Decoration.  We also often have our own Graphic Designer, Painter, etc.  

If those who add the crew members to IMDB understand the anatomy of the Set Decorating team then it can be done properly and everyone may be educated.  A crew list and/or call sheet is a great place to start.  The category needs to exist for clarity.
