Crew Job of Compositor (changed from Compositors)

There's an issue with the crew Job of "Compositor" which was apparently changed from "Compositors". I've seen both displayed and the only way to change it is to delete the Compositors one and re-enter with the correct singular one, Compositor. Is there a way this can be changed on an update? There seems to be thousands... Also, Compositor needs to be moved to Visual Effects. Maybe this can be done all at once so it doesn't need to be entered manually.
Example of 1 person's page with both: https://www.themoviedb.org/person/1456696-brian-n-bentley?language=en-US

I just hope in the future a bot can do such 'simple' but widespread things!
Another problem with that particular job: I've seen people adding a crew member as Compositor that should be added as Composer but as they couldn't find Original Music Composer when searching for Composer they choose Compositor instead. Alternative job titles would help greatly.

Yes, it would be great to see all jobs if you search a word in the list. For example, type in 'music' and see all jobs with that word in it.
Or have alternative titles, so when you search by a different name, it comes up with the correct title. For example, type in 'lamp operator' and it gives you 'lighting technician', which is the same thing.

Thats exactly what I would love to see/have. The data is even there already since the mods created a help topic.
