cast and crew verification should have evidence upload

Many of the update forms have an evidence upload link. The form for confirming that cast and/or crew are complete does not have that option. If it had, I could upload the PDF I have of the full end credits of a TV episode which I used to add and correct all the cast and crew. I could also upload the

I would like to see IMDb add a new category called "Collections."

At the request of IMDB they will only consider any category changes with a large amount of members agreeing that it should be changed.
