Introducing: New Credit Categories and Professions

We are excited to announce 12 new credit categories on IMDb, advancing recognition for essential entertainment professions
This enhancement reflects our commitment to serving the evolving entertainment industry and acknowledging the increasingly diverse roles that make today's content possible.
The new credit categories are: Choreography; Color Department; Craft Services; Health and Safety Department; Intimacy Coordination; Legal; Production Department; Production Finance and Accounting; Property Department; Publicity; Puppetry; and Voice Actor - Dubbing. Previously, these credits were primarily listed under the "Additional Crew" category. Credits are also now displayed under dedicated section headings for these new categories across IMDb and IMDbPro web and apps. IMDb will continue to expand professional credit categories and recognition opportunities based on industry feedback.
The "Voice Actor - Dubbing" credit category is for voice performances ("dubs") that are translated versions of a title’s originally recorded dialog. We currently accept dubs into the following languages: English, French, German, Hindi, Italian, Portuguese, and Spanish.
To contribute credits under these new categories, just navigate to the usual credits contribution interface via one of the “Edit”/pencil buttons on a name or title page. You will now see these twelve additional category options listed underneath the pre-existing ones. As before, the “Role” field for each category includes a searchable menu of the most common roles listed under each credit category. For example, the role “production coordinator” is now suggested under the new category “Production Department” (it was previously listed under “Additional Crew”).
Please note that we are also in the process of migrating pre-existing credit items to their relevant new credit category. This will take a number of days, due to the sheer number of credits that we need to move. We expect to complete this migration by Sunday, November 9 at 11:59PM PST.
For more information about these new credit categories, please visit our Help Guide: https://help.imdb.com/article/imdbpro/new-features-updates/announcement-new-credit-categories-and-professions/GWTJ4QXRS5HSJUPZ#
In addition to new credit categories, IMDbPro Premium members can also select their professions from a recently expanded list of nearly 500 options to enhance their discoverability by industry decision-makers. You will therefore start noticing more specific professions (such as “Production Coordinator” and “Digital Colorist”) directly underneath the person’s name on some name pages across IMDb and IMDbPro.
As always, we’d love to hear your thoughts, feel free to share your questions and feedback in the comments below!
Many thanks — The IMDb Team

Hello everyone,
I'm experiencing what appears to be a filmography display issue on an IMDb name page. The person currently has 21 credits in the Legal Department category and only 8 credits in Production-related categories. Last week I added all of the Legal Department credits, and they have already been approved and published. All of these titles have been released and are displaying correctly under the Legal Department filter.
However, when opening the name page, IMDb still expands the Production section by default, while the Legal Department section remains collapsed. As a result, visitors only see a small portion of the person's credits unless they manually click on the Legal Department filter.
On other IMDb name pages, including profiles with multiple departments, the category with the most credits or the person's primary recent work is usually displayed automatically.
Has anyone encountered this issue before? Is there a way to force a filmography refresh or request a recalculation of the department display order?
Any help would be appreciated.
Thank you.

I was trying to add a credit as first assistant accountant in a tv series adding also 'additional photography' as an attribute but it was rejected: Invalid detail attribute.
I also tried "reshoots" and "reshoot" but I got the same result.
It seems the new category Production Finance and Accounting only accepts a few attributes such as 'uncredited', 'rumored', etc. I had no problem in the past creating new attributes in Miscelaneaous Crew so I only see two options: adding the credit without the attribute (witch is not the reality of the production) or adding the credit under Miscelaneous Crew (but we had at last our Production Finance and Accounting category). Any thoughts?
Mr. IMDb, will be more attributes available in this category in the near future? Will it be possible to add a new attribute like in other categories?
Thanks!

Hello,
I am a Unit Nurse and find myself now grouped under Health and Safety. Medical are a separate, independently run department, we work alongside not under Health and Safety.
I have also noticed all the jobs when I was a Key Nurse, i.e. in charge of and running the medical department have been changed to Unit Nurse, this does not reflect my position, experience and responsibilities. If this site is to be used by professionals to source and check crew credentials the information needs to be correct.
Please consider a separate heading for Medical or putting us back under Additional Crew and not changing people's job titles.
Many thanks

Hi IMDb, I noticed in the last few days that many of my Supervising Editor credits have been moved from the 'Editor' column on my page into 'Editorial Department'. For years they were listed prominently in the 'Editor' column, and now they are buried in what is perceived as a less prestigious column. As a Supervising Editor, I am physically editing across all episodes of a series and am the creative leader of the edit team. Supervising producers get grouped with their Producer counterparts, I believe that Supervising Editors should be grouped with their editing counterparts, as they were for many years.
Can my Supervisor credits be restored to how they were?

This has always gone in 'Editorial Department' in the last couple of weeks I have seen a number moved to 'Editors' Is this a policy change by IMDB? Having tried to post new credits in 'Editors' I get a message to say thy should be in 'Editorial Department' so has been moved? Its almost like the policy has only been half implemented?

Over the past weeks I have submitted numerous contributions moving or deleting roles erroneously listed in the Editors section with roles like "off-line editor" or "supervising editor", and adding them into the Editorial Department, where they should belong per IMDb guidelines, as I have explained in all my contributions. A majority of mine have been approved, and I double-checked the pages to see that they went through, but by the next day those same approved contributions have been moved back overnight.
So either an automated tool is responsible for reverting these contributions, or someone with too much time on their hands is going out of their way to undo these for some reason. I am listing my contributions below to hopefully get them reapproved, but I feel they will be reverted again, so if someone could check the root cause for these issues and prevent reverting these contributions as well as future similar contributions, that would be immensely helpful. I suspect this problem is site-wide and more egregious regarding the Editors and Editorial Department sections.
