==Use of special characters== |
|||
The use of certain special characters is preferred: |
|||
;Apostrophe: ’ is preferred in place of '. Use ' only if it is clearly as it appears on the cover, or if you can’t easily produce the preferred characters. |
|||
;Quotation marks: Use the mark that appears on the track listing. If unsure, use “ and ” for English. Use " only if it is clearly as it appears on the cover, or if you can’t easily produce the preferred characters. Other common variations include: |
|||
:; single quotes: ‘ and ’ |
|||
:; guillemets: « » and ‹ › (note difference from < and >) |
|||
:; low quotes: „ and ‚ |
|||
;Primes: Use single prime (′), double-prime (″), and triple-prime (‴) where appropriate. Single prime indicates minutes and feet; double-prime indicates seconds and inches. Triple-prime is rarely used. |
|||
;Ellipsis: Use the ellipsis character (…) instead of three periods (...) |
|||
;Dashes: Use the em dash (—) and en dash (–) where appropriate. If you can’t easily enter these characters, use - for en dash and -- for em dash. Other editors should correct these where possible. |
|||
=="Top something" Playlists== |
|||
Bootleg torrents that are compilations based on playlists of charts authorities (like Billboard's) should not be stored in MusicBrainz as releases. These playlists are often copyrighted by their issuers. |
|||
==Other Do-Not's== |
|||
There's some guiding information available [[What Not To Link To]]. It is not an [[Official Style Guideline]], but is information that should help while editing. |
