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 - Where several artists have the same name but they are one entry in the database.
- 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 It is rather outdated and if you have a question when editing something odd it is probably best to ask in the MailingList or see if you find a hint in the StyleGuidelines.
- If you are unsure about an edit or vote you might have a look at the ArtistDiscography for that Artist. If you know resources that are not listed there yet, please add them.
There is also a very outdated draft for MusicReviews but this is not used anymore.
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.
