Additional Metadata and Information
Some information cannot be stored in the MusicBrainz database but is important background information for editing and voting. These are:
- IdenticallyNamedArtists - A list of artists who have the same name. Most of them are not yet SplitArtists but are one entry in the database so you could start to work on them.
- NotDuplicateArtists - This tries to keep track of artists with similar names who are not duplicate entries and should not be merged. Also see NotDuplicateAlbums for a list of similar albums which are not the same.
- OddReleases - Different releases that are hard to fit into the MusicBrainz schema.
- There is also a page called OddReleaseDiscussion. It is rather outdated and if you have a question when editing something odd it is probably best to ask in the MailingList or see if you find a hint in the StyleGuidelines.
- InternationalArtists - Lists of artists from certain countries. This is a good point to start editing on artists in your native language! Also if you want to keep track on the artists from a certain (your) country you can subscribe to the artists on this list.
- If you need help editing in certain languages you might want to look at TellSimilarLanguagesApart of contact a moderator with a certain ModeratorLanguage - or you try one of the OnlineTranslator

External
- OtherDatabases can be helpfull resources for editing the data in MusicBrainz.
- A rather outdated page provided links to ArtistDiscography
s - though now that they can be stored using AdvancedRelationships this page only contains a few usefull links. - Again: there is a list of OnlineTranslator

Trivia
Trivia is the fun in data!
- For attempts to collect trivia about the data stored in the MusicBrainz database see DataTrivia.
- But there is also information about the social component of it: MusicBrainzSlang for example tries to describe vocabulary used by the MusicBrainz users.
Subjective Data
Storing subjective, non-factual data maybe one of the future goals of MusicBrainz. As by now there are only proposals.
- There is a very outdated draft for MusicReviews but this is not used anymore. Though we have a new separate Wiki dealing with questions about the realization of a review system: http://review.musicbrainz.org/.
- EditorRating might provide means of rating the data in MusicBrainz.
- Genre information is perhaps too subjective and may lead to disputes (see GenreAlternative for another outdated draft) but the data could be categorized using a FolksonomySystem.
