not unheard off that some projects exist across several mediums simultaneously or during the projects lifetime. While it can be argued that a few positions may be exclusive for the specific medium, be it film or tv; so can be said for big-budget vs indie film. I think the best thing to do would be to consider it a list of oproduction positions rather than exclusively film positions because the lines are far to gray to ever accurately limit it to only film positions and then the question arrises of the size of the production

This template is enigmatic to a reader unfamiliar with the terms of art "above the line" and "below the line", they either have to click through to the above/below article, or pick one section or the other at random to open to get some idea. Not great for quick navigation, and not much space is being

to be above-the-line, since that in its more modern definition refers to "individuals who guide and influence the creative direction, process, and voice of a given narrative in a film and related expenditures." In other words, individuals who are the primary creative collaborators on a film. By that

What is the reasoning for not including television crew? Independent crewmen can often be found working on indie films, big budget features, syndicated television, music videos, commercials, etc.. The positions are the same regardless of the medium in which the project will be displayed. And its

There are many positions that seem to be listed by multiple names and
Assistant director article should really be split between 1st AD and 2nd AD because the positions are very different from each other. There are also a plethora of positions that do not even have articles on Knowledge yet; most

Currently all of the jobs are in alphabetic order, arranging them into categories might be a better way to go. For example: editing, guys in charge, crewmen, actors. I'm not sure where all of the jobs would fall though.
421:
As far as organizing, I'd recommend organizing the list in the same fashion in which it would be structured in the credit role on screen. I started this by separating above the line and below the line.
438:
566:
Yeah I agree. By default, the navbox will be expanded, but without an above or below passed in, the thing will only show the collapsed sections. It would make more sense to show everything.
513:
Isn't special effects a branch of production design, since it appears IN the shot (like dressing, make, hair, props, set decoration, scene design, matte painting and illustration)?
366:
For example, the list you have created.. You've listed production designers, script supervisors, and line producers as exclusive to film but television has these positions as well.
503:
370:
prominently in the fields of SPX, post-production, and production department which currently does not mention positons such as safety, crafty, transpo to name a few.
508:
357:
My personal feature film creds, not including low-budget, commercial, and other projects as IMDb only lists major films and television shows for the most part

Also, the tv crew is closely related but not the same. I debated making them one template but decided against it. Here's a list of everything I gathered.

is also "part of the below-the-line film crew". So if you go by the original definition from the early studio days, both these should be below-the-line.
