Every so often when I contribute a change in a certain profile, The software/website recognizes Cast/Crew data changes though I haven't made any myself.

Here's a recent example:


The only changes I have made are:
Removed the DTS from the edition field, as it's not on the cover.
Added rating details & MC from the back cover.

I usually leave the so called "bogus" info out when contributing, but it's confusing nevertheless. An online refresh doesn't make any difference either.

How can I disable it? I don't have the time nor the will to contribute an undocumented information.

It can't be disabled. It's the online database making sure that the names are filtered correctly.

K.K.//Moggie becomes K./K./Moggie.
P.T.//Anderson becomes P./T./Anderson etc

As long as the 'Credited As' is correct (same as seen on-screen), this is fine.


As an aside, and again no fault of yours, it looks like the Cast and Crew data in that profile need to be checked anyway...
"Junix Nocian as Famous (as Junix Inocian)" is a sure-fire sign that that information came from IMDB when it should have been taken from the Credits of the film itself.

See Ken's post on this page.

You don't need to document it other than reference that thread.
Bad movie?  You're soaking in it!

If you don't check the Cast box, it won't be submitted.  (But as others pointed out, it's no big deal to submit it.

The same could be true for the "K.K. Moggie" entry - IMDb lists initials without the space, so there again, that entry might just have been mined from IMDb rather than reflecting the actual credits. If the credits actually show "K. K. Moggie", then a listing of "K. K. Moggie [K.K. Moggie]" would actually be wrong.
