How to add an entire cast without going through one by one?

Is there a way for me to input a TON of the crew and IMDB just puts them where they need to go? Like somehow uploading a spreadsheet or even having a main page where I can just go in, put all the names and their jobs and IMDB puts it under what department it's in accordingly? It's just putting them all in one by one is so tedious and annoying.

Thank you!

Hi, christian alvarez. Could you maybe export that spreadsheet to CSV or JSON, and share it here?

YOU'D BE WILLING TO DO THAT?!?!?! 
I've got 20 episodes worth of Robot Chicken Season 9 if you're up for it.

If it is not too hard, I would indeed, christian alvarez. I think, sorting out which sections to add which crew members could be problematic. There is one more problem: I should be reluctant to do this since I don't know if the information is accurate. So, please by all means, share images of the on-screen credits first.

It's all about Document Object Model wizardry.

Duuude, taking screenshots of the on-screen credits would take forever. Like I have the spreadsheets given to me by my PC...

On top of the exchange with Jeorj, I see one major obstacle, or at least a heavy point of attention, in batch processing entries: when there are homonyms (it can be more than 150 for somes names), how do you pickup the wright profile?

At the bottom of the Title page, click on "Edit Page", then in the different section, starting by "Cast", select the corresponding options to add the corresponding credits. Once you click to the bottom button, you will get page looking like the one shown by Cliff.

I could have created a single page that was sooooo long, that would probably stretch across the English Channel! LOL Kidding!
If you need more help. Just ask. Cheers
