What dividers should be used when you have a special edition or restored edition (re-edited/Sound redone, that sort of thing) should you use a Episode divider and put them all there to keep them separate from the original crew or should you use a Group divider and put them in the appropriate category

Frankly, the one on the left looks a lot better, "cleaner" to me. It may be worth noting that the rules actually do say something about when an episode divider should be used in a movie profile:

Quote:
Also use episode dividers for full cast division, such as "Japanese Voices".

Now, obviously, the example given is about cast only, but wouldn't the same apply for crew? "Full crew division"? Because that's exactly what this is: this "Special Edition" crew didn't work alongside the regular crew, but they did their work entirely seperately from the entire original film-making process, years later. Just like the "Japanese Voices" aren't part of the original film-making process, but a local dubbing session was held separately, later on. So if this isn't the kind of "full division" the rules speak of, I don't what is.

Using an episode divider also gives us a more accurate reflection of the credits, since there as well, the "Special Edition" crew isn't mixed in with the original film crew, but instead displayed in a seperate block at the end. Using an episode divider mirrors that.

Agree with T!M.  We used the Episode divider as seen on the left before the Group divider was available. 

It clearly delineated the Special Edition/Director's Cut crew from the original and is still the better choice to segregate the additional crew.
Bad movie?  You're soaking in it!

I would also have to agree with what T!M and tweeter have already said. Episode dividers are what I always use in these instances.

I like the Episode divider. I just this week, withdrew my contributions for Superman and Superman II that had already accepted Episode dividers in them because of No votes. Should I resubmit them?

I prefer the episode dividers.
No dictator, no invader can hold an imprisoned population by force of arms forever.
There is no greater power in the universe than the need for freedom.
Against this power, governments and tyrants and armies cannot stand.
The Centauri learned this lesson once.
We will teach it to them again.
Though it take a thousand years, we will be free.

I've voted for 'Episode dividers' as the rules do seem to suggest this at least.

But, as long as it's correctly entered, either is good.

Based on the rule that addresses "full division" like this, I'd say yes, please do!
