| | Posted: | | | | Andy and Larry Wachowski are frequently credited as The Wachowski Brothers.
Should we use 'credited as' (option 1) to include both Andy & Larry seperately or just add as The Wachowski Brothers (option 2). | | | | Stuart | | | | Last edited: by Gadgeteer |

| | Posted: | | | | I think this could become even more relevant since Larry is now Linda, and will likely cease directing. Therefore it could be seen as useful to be able to link Andy's works. | | | | Adelaide Movie Buffs (info on special screenings, contests, bargains, etc. relevant to Adelaideans... and contests/bargains for other Aussies too!) |

| | Posted: | | | | I am struggling to comprehend why some people think that we shouldn't use the 'Credited As' function  They do not always work as a pair and if we don't use 'credited as' then you won't see all of their work in your database when you click on their names. If it's accuracy you're concerned with (reflecting the on-screen credit) then the 'credited as' field takes care of that. | | | | Stuart | | | | Last edited: by Gadgeteer |

| | Posted: | | | | I think we should scrap text entry altogether, and replace the cast list with screenshots of the credits. It's not very practical, but it *is* accurate.  | | | | Adelaide Movie Buffs (info on special screenings, contests, bargains, etc. relevant to Adelaideans... and contests/bargains for other Aussies too!) |

Skip Well spotted skip. I had worded it the wrong way round  , but hopefully the Poll options speak for themselves. | | | | Stuart | | | | Last edited: by Gadgeteer |

How are they different? "As credited" means you put for the cast name what you see on screen, "credited as" means you use a different name for the cast name, but then put what's on screen in the "credited as" field. |

| | Posted: | | | | Actually, tlevel, you don't need to type anything into the Credited As field unless it is different. The program will automatically populate the Credited As if you leave it blank. | | | | Kevin |
