I wouldn't use dividers in that case.

If it's in the crew section, I would say:
Writer: Pål/ /Øie [Pål Øie & Brio Flint]
Writer: Brio/ /Flint  [Pål Øie & Brio Flint]

Edit: No "credited as" is needed in this case.

I would propose never to use dividers in crew, for "roles" that are specified as such in DVDP.

So use it sparingly, for example in the case of companies being listed for specific functions (tends to happen mostly for Sound and Art?, I think we have rules about production companies vs. producers).

Sounds okay, but from the Contribution Rules I almost get the impresion it should be used as often as possible.

But for Cast, should it only be used for groups like "Dancers" or "Japanese Cast", or should it also be used for groups like "Guards: name, name2, name3"? And if so, with the last example should also all of these have guard as individual credit, or no individual credit?

Excetp that in the example as in the question, the Guards still have individual names name1, name2, name3. In that case they should be included.

when reviewing the cast list for "Superman" there is a gap/space before the first group, my question is should I leave the blue divider there to reflect that?

That's a personal call not covered by the Rules per se.What i would do personally...I don't know, but if someone Contributed it I would not viote No on that basis, nor would i remove it if it had been approved with it.

Quoting Addicted2DVD:

Quote:
No you don't show for gaps in credits.

Now while i understand your point and the logic behind it. Pete i don't believe the Rules actually back you up and a case could be made that the filmmakers chose to insert that space for a purpose and who are we to argue that.

"Dividers allow the segregation of cast and crew into logical groupings. Wherever possible, these groupings should mirror the film credits."

Quoting TheMadMartian:

Quote:
Looking at the divider rules, I don't see where a blank divider is allowed.  It isn't an episode divider nor is it a group divider, so I agree with Pete.

It is neither allowed nor disallowed strictly speaking, Martian.

Once again
"Dividers allow the segregation of cast and crew into logical groupings. Wherever possible, these groupings should mirror the film credits."

Do we determine what the logical groupings are or WHY? I don't think so, we don't have that kind of knowledge. The filmmakers put in a blank space (Divider for our purposes),m do we know why or why not , clearly we don't, we can only say there is a blank space there, that is the factual determination or not as the case may be. A blank divider is as valid a piece of data as one which has actual data in the divider.
