Subtitles / Captioning Credits in the Writer Section.

As far as I understood, captioning work is not credited in IMDB, until I found these two profiles.

So these two profiles have been listed in IMDB as Subtitles Writer (which basically means that they have provided English Captioning).
Moreover, they are listed in the Writer segment which is really surprising. I have tried to correct their submissions but my corrections were declined.
Any guide regarding the matter would be helpful because I have also provided official captioning/ subtitles submissions to many regional films, and would like to have my contribution noted on IMDB.

Hi RobiShankarChowdhury -

If the subtitle work was credited on-screen, the credit is eligible to be listed under the "Additional Crew" section. Concerning your declined updates, can you post the 18-digit submissions reference numbers associated with some of your updates here for our staff to take a look?

I checked a random movie from this name page (Cheeni) and I'm able to see his credit in original movie credits (as "subtitle") so most credits are likely valid for Additional Crew but how so many credits with "English Subtitles" attribute gets approved to the Writer section in the first place? I remember reporting a similar thing some time ago too.

I think something like a warning should be added to the submission form when someone tries to submit a credit with an attribute that includes "subtitle" to the Writers department.

Screenshot of the credit I checked btw:

So they have 48 credits in IMDB as subtitle writers listed in the "Writer" section which should then be actually listed in the "Additional Crew" section.
