Separate articles from Miscellaneous Sites
On External Sites pages, many of the links listed under Miscellaneous Sites are various other movie sites with profiles for titles. Links to actual articles about a title can seem buried in such a list. It would be cool to have a separate subsection for articles on the same page. This would also be

Unit Production Assistant should be categorized under Location Management
The Unit Production Assistant position is actually part of the Locations department on a film, but IMDB currently has it categorized as Miscellaneous Crew.

"Known For" algorithm choices

Export List: add column for Cast
When looking at Exported titles, either from a custom list, or from my Ratings, I often need help remembering what a particular title is. If you could add a column for the top-billed cast, that would be very helpful, even if it were only the top 2 names. 3 names might be even better.
