==Additional information and examples== |

Note that for the same person, there may be several different artist entries in the database, with different [[Artist Name|artist names]] - this usually happens when a person uses different [[Performance Name|performance names]]: |
|||

|||
The members of a group are indicated with the [[Member Of Band Relationship Type|member of band relationship type]], if the group represents a band, and the participants of a short-term collaboration are indicated with the [[Collaboration Relationship Type|collaboration relationship type]]: |
|||
* [[Artist:300c4c73-33ac-4255-9d57-4e32627f5e13|Ringo Starr]] (of type person) was a member of [[Artist:b10bbbfc-cf9e-42e0-be17-e2c3e1d2600d|The Beatles]] (of type group) |

In the case of a collaboration, the "members" can also be other groups. See for example: |
|||
* [http://musicbrainz.org/artist/0ecaa896-58fa-4dca-b53d-8da7bc5f59c5.html Band Aid] (of type group) |
|||
* [http://musicbrainz.org/artist/25f54bb7-c393-44e4-8e26-e4f4cd7aa61c.html Queen & David Bowie] (of type group) |
|||
The type of an artist can be modified by using the "Edit artist" link. |
|||
Finally, note that [[Special Purpose Artist|special purpose artists]] ([[Various Artists]], [[Unknown Artist]], [[No Artist]], etc.), being neither groups or persons, are of type "other". |
