There is a contribution for The Unit Season 2 that eliminates the Emily Halpern and Randy Huggins. They are listed during the end credits as Staff Writers. Should they be eliminated?

I don't see Staff Writer in the Crew table, so I wouldn't object to their removal. I wouldn't add them if there were principal writers credited in the episodes.

Looking at The Unit Season 2 in the database, it appears that there are principal Writers credited before either Halpern/Huggins in all of the episodes.

And judging from this explanation of what a Staff Writer is, it also seems questionable.

its me who are make the credit. when i ask if Staff Writers are in crew i got a no from two members in the forum.
When i look at the crew in The Unit TV-series there is a credit as staff writer is that get a credit as writer by.?

Writing credits
Eric L. Haney (book "Inside Delta Force") is OMB.

David Mamet (creator) is Created by

David Mamet (written by)

Emily Halpern (staff writer) Randy Huggins (staff writer) is they get a credit as Written by.?

iPatsa
David Mamet (written by)

Emily Halpern (staff writer) Randy Huggins (staff writer) is they get a credit as Written by.?

I'd say no since that would put them on the same level as Mamet. Leave them out or use custom roles for your local.

That just means someone entered them incorrectly and they should be removed.

FWIW, I agree with Katatonia and ruben.
It all seems so stupid, it makes me want to give up!
But why should I give up, when it all seems so stupid?

I wouldn't include Staff Writers either, there's usually a specific Writer (or Writers) for the episode(s).
