In my opinion, this is absolutely incorrect use of dividers and would vote against it every time.
In addition, it doesn't make any sense to add those dividers now since they have to be changed to the new divider type in a (hopefully very) short time. I agree, that we would not want to do this in the future (in v.36), since that divider text will show up in the "Role" of every actor after that divider when you click on an actor to see every film they are in. | | | | Hal |

Exactly. That shows us that we're not supposed to include something like this. For those who honestly thought, for a second, that this was okay, let me offer this question: most film cast list start with some kind of "CAST" header. I assume that, by their reasoning, that should be included too? The horror...  | | | | Last edited: by T!M |

Because this is exactly how they use exactly this divider. I don't know what profile this is for but, in Taken, there is a heading that reads "and in Alphabetical Order." Whether or not it should be contributed that way, well, it is in the credits that way so that is how I entered it. How this will work in the beta, I don't know, but I am not contributing based on the beta. I am contributing based on the program that is currently live. | | | No dictator, no invader can hold an imprisoned population by force of arms forever.

Skip Indeed. For example Friday the 13th: Part III and Friday the 13th: The Final Chapter. Both cast lists are divided into two. The first part with the following title: Special Appearances from Part 2 (the latter Part I, II & III). The second part with the following title: Cast of Characters in Alphabetical Order. The filmmakers added those dividers for some reason  . | | | | Cor | | | | Last edited: by Corne |

That was my first thought so I checked - false alarm, the cast list bears no comparison. Yeah, I thought this too - but as Kevin said: it was a false alarm - I ended up voting yes on the contribution as in my opinion the update was an improvement over the existing profile - although I did find the divider a bit odd. In my experience the credit sequences to films from this era and of this style tend to be a bit all over the place and sometimes open to interpretation anyway. | | | DVD
