Should Terence Nance have a second "story by" credit on Space Jam: A New Legacy

I don't think that I've ever seen a credit like this. Terence Nance has two "story by" credits on Space Jam: A New Legacy but is currently only credited once. Currently, the "story by" credits are:

Juel Taylor (story by) 2,1,1

Tony Rettenmaier (story by) 2,1,2

Keenan Coogler (story by) 2,1,3

Terence Nance (story by) 2,1,4

According to the onscreen credit it seems there should be another credit (though I've never seen this before):

Terence Nance (story by) 2,2,1

Hi Adrian -

If we are certain that the person is one and the same (as it seems to be in this case), the "story by" credit should only be listed once.

Cheers!

I'm going to disagree here by the way the credits are presented on screen. If they were all separated by the ampersand (&) I would agree. However, given the meaning that IMDb attributes to the word "and" in writing credits, it looks like he was intentionally credited twice. First, he was part of the original writing group. Then, he was given an additional, solo rewriting credit. I think IMDb should reflect this as well.

Indeed, the credits are surely determined by guild rules, and reflecting such fine details seems to be exactly what IMDb's writer credit order is designed to do.
