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).

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.

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.

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.

I just used option 1 in the V for Vendetta profile, and I didn't even feel the need to start a poll first...

Well spotted skip. I had worded it the wrong way round  , but hopefully the Poll options speak for themselves.

That's OK, such mistakes are very easy to make. I wasn't sure whether it was a boo-boo or not understanding the differentiation.

Enter it exactly as it appears in the credits, period.

You are absolutely correct. The exact on-screen credit should go in the 'Credited As:' field if and when the 'common' name is employed

Whatever it says on the screen is what we should put in the profile.

"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.

You always put the screen credit in the "credited as" field, if it happens to be the same as the name field it simply won't be stored separately.

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.
