This edit adds a [[Label Alias|LabelAlias]] to an existing Label [[Image:bicon.png]] |
|||
===How to do it=== |
|||
* The [http://musicbrainz.org/edit/labelalias/add.html?id=1509 Add New Alias] link below the list of existing aliases on a [http://musicbrainz.org/show/label/aliases.html?labelid=1509 label aliases page] takes you to a page where you can add a new [[Label Alias|LabelAlias]] (AddLabelAliasEdit). |
|||
==Guidelines== |
|||
===Editing=== |
|||
* Aliases are useful to enhance search results; there are a number of legit reasons to create a new alias: misspellings, variants, numbers... Be sure to read [[Label Alias|LabelAlias]] for a complete list. |
|||
* Thanks to the Lucene search engine that [[MusicBrainz]] uses, there is no longer a need for aliases containing unaccented characters |
|||
* Use [[Label Alias|LabelAlias]]<code><nowiki></nowiki></code>es sparingly. Adding too many (bogus) aliases will actually degrade the search quality and encourage misattribution. |
|||
===Voting=== |
|||
* The [[Label Alias|LabelAlias]] page covers most legitimate uses. |
|||
==Notes== |
|||
At that time, [[Label Alias|LabelAlias]]<code><nowiki></nowiki></code>es have to be unique ([[Ticket:780|780]]), like [[Artist Alias|ArtistAlias]]<code><nowiki></nowiki></code>es. |
|||
===Prerequisites=== |
|||
* An AddLabelAliasEdit will fail due to a [[Failed Prerequisite|FailedPrerequisite]] if that alias already exists (be it attached to the same label or to another one). |
|||
* An AddLabelAliasEdit will fail due to a [[Failed Prerequisite|FailedPrerequisite]] if the label is deleted by a [[Remove Label Edit|RemoveLabelEdit]]. |
|||
===Dependencies=== |
|||
* None |
|||
===Internal Errors=== |
|||
* None since [[Edit:6658114|6658114]] |
|||
===Symbolic name and id=== |
|||
MOD_ADD_LABELALIAS () |
|||
==Discussion== |
|||
* Is MOD_ADD_LABELALIAS actually correct and what is the edit ID? |
|||
* Isn't the second [[Failed Prerequisite|FailedPrerequisite]] a [[Failed Dependency|FailedDependency]]? |
|||
* Is [[Ticket:1162|1162]] applicable here? |
