I'm not sure if it's at all practical to attempt to change the submission format at this point, but I think it'd be great if you could add several related items to the encyclopedia at once. Say, up to five or ten voice actors, or five or ten staff members, or doing both the start and end dates of a series, or all of its alternate names all at once. Personally I think it'd make things go a lot faster when you're submitting. But, like I said, I don't know how much effort it would take to make a change to the format at this point. If it'll waste more time than it'll save, then it's not really worth doing. Still, just a suggestion.

Yeah, I know, that would be a lot more practical. Actually, adding credits already works that way for staff. The only problem: it's a LOT easier to make mistakes that way. When you're adding 30 cast members at the same time and some of them have warning messages, it's too easy to add the cast without even reading the warnings. So I'm working on a way to make this input method less error-prone. This is very near the top of my To Do list.
But as for adding information like titles or dates, that's pretty much impossible.
