This Page is Glorious History! |
|
The content of this page either is bit-rotted, or has lost its reason to exist due to some new features having been implemented in MusicBrainz, or maybe just described something that never made it in (or made it in a different way), or possibly is meant to store information and memories about our Glorious Past. |
|
We still keep this page to honor the brave editors who, during the prehistoric times (prehistoric for you, newcomer!), struggled hard to build a better present and dreamed of an even better future. We also keep it for archival purposes because possibly it still contains crazy thoughts and ideas that may be reused someday. If you're not into looking at either the past or the future, you should just disregard entirely this page content and look for an up to date documentation page elsewhere. |
Annotations history
Purpose
This page should be used to store historical informations about previous uses of annotations, deprecated guidelines, fixed tickets, so on. While probably most "past" bugs/discussions are of little interest, some of them hold special value and should be kept.
This page has some direct relations with AnnotationFuture (tickets usually begin life there, and finish here).
Fixed: List of fixed tickets (down to ~2000 + 1259)

Release annotation (glorious) history
Prior to the introduction of the label system in MusicBrainz, release annotations were used extensively by brave moderators (the former name of editors) to store release data, possibly thanks to TeleGUISE's head-bashing, errrrr suggestions. This led to several revisions of the not-really-followed-but-could-have-been-official, Shepard's turbulent child: ReleaseAnnotationStyle, and a lot of nitpicking to decide if we were to use "cat #:", "catalog #:", "catalogue #:", and other super-duper important style reflexions, like whether or not we should use bold and italics wiki formatting...
While mainly of historical interest, you should read this document for self-edification, or for some interesting thoughts about how different editions relate to each other and how this pertains (or not) to NadelnderBambus.
