Artists
Artists that may be groups
This report lists artists that have type "unknown" or "person", but may be groups, because they have other artists listed as its members. If you find that an artist here is indeed a group, change its type. If it is not, please make sure that the "member of" relationships are in the right order and are correct.
Artists that may be persons
This report lists artists that have type "unknown" or "group", but may be person, based on all relationships except "collaboration". For example, an artist will appear here if it is listed as a member of another. If you find that an artist here is indeed a person, change its type. If it is not, please make sure that all the relationships are correct and make sense.
Possibly duplicate artists
This report aims to identify artists with very similar names, which might indicate that the artists need to be merged. It does not show similarly named artists if all of them have disambiguation comments. If you find some artists are indeed the same, please merge them (remember to write an edit note and give your proof). If they're different, add disambiguation comments to them so they stop appearing here.
Artists which have collaboration relationships
This report lists artists which have collaboration relationships but no URL relationships. If the collaboration has its own independent name, do nothing. If it is in a format like "X with Y" or "X & Y", you should probably split it. See How to Split Artists.
Artists which look like collaborations
This report lists artists which have "&" in their names but no member or collaboration relationships. If you find that an artist here should have "member of" relationships (that is, it is seen as an actual group, not just a collaboration) please add them. If it is just a collaboration, you should probably split it. See How to Split Artists.
Release groups
Release groups which contain no releases
This report shows release groups with no releases. In general, it is safe to just remove these, although it can be better to merge them if they duplicate another non-empty release group.
Release groups that might need to be merged
This report shows release groups with releases that are linked to releases in different release groups by part-of-set or transliteration relationships. If a pair of release groups are listed here, you should probably merge them. If the releases are discs linked with "part of set" relationships, you might want to merge them too into one multi-disc release (see How to Merge Releases).
Release groups with titles containing featuring artists
This report shows release groups with (feat. Artist) in the title. For classical releases, don't change anything. For non-classical releases, this is inherited from an older version of MusicBrainz and should be fixed. Consult the page about featured artists to know more
Releases
Releases which might need converting to "multiple artists"
Releases without language but script
Releases without script but language
This report shows releases that have a language but no script set. If you recognize the script, just add it! Remember that the script used for English (and most other European languages) is Latin.
Releases which have unexpected Amazon URLs
This report shows releases with Amazon URLs which don't follow the expected format. They might still be correct if they're archive.org cover links, but in any other case they should probably be fixed or removed.
Releases which have multiple ASINs
This report shows releases that have more than one Amazon ASIN. In most cases ASINs should map to MusicBrainz releases 1:1, so only one of them will be correct. Just check which ones do not fit the release (because of format, different number of tracks, etc). You can also enter the Amazon URL in this page to see if the barcodes fit.
Releases which have multiple Discogs links
This report shows releases that have more than one link to Discogs. In most cases a MusicBrainz release should have only one equivalent in Discogs, so only one of them will be correct. Just check which ones do not fit the release (because of format, different number of tracks, etc). Any "master" Discogs page belongs at the release group level, not at the release level, and should be removed from releases too.
Amazon URLs linked to multiple releases
Discogs URLs linked to multiple releases
Releases which have part of set relationships
Discs entered as separate releases
Releases with non-sequential track numbers
Releases with superfluous data tracks
Releases with titles containing featuring artists
This report shows releases with (feat. Artist) in the title. For classical releases, don't change anything. For non-classical releases, this is inherited from an older version of MusicBrainz and should be fixed. Consult the page about featured artists to know more.
Releases released too early
Releases where some (but not all) mediums have no format set
Releases with catalog numbers that look like ASINs
Recordings
Recordings with earliest release relationships
Tracks whose names include their sequence numbers
Recordings with titles containing featuring artists
This report shows recordings with (feat. Artist) in the title. For classical releases, don't change anything. For non-classical releases, this is inherited from an older version of MusicBrainz and should be fixed (both at the recordings at the tracks!). Consult the page about featured artists to know more.
