The writers guide says that "script consultants" should be listed in the "other crew" section. However, it does not mention "story consultant" and I'm not sure if they are similar job titles. I've seen it handled differently based on the show and, probably, whoever entered the credits.
The one show that I watch that lists "story consultants" seems like these should be writers credits as the "story consultants" are frequently credited with writing the show as well.

Will you move these to the writer section?
It would make the misc. crew a bit less unwieldy. It would also do justice to the people who did these jobs. And it would lead to a bit less confusion among contributors when adding credits for these people.

I'm not certain if there is a plan to move the existing credits vs just accepting corrections as they are submitted to us. I will reach out to the applicable editors and clarify, once I hear back I will let you know here.
