[[Special:Whatlinkshere/Ukrainian Artists|Whatlinkshere/Ukrainian Artists]]


Old cruft [[User:Pronik|pronik]] 19:45, 6 April 2009 (UTC)
These lists of artists would be much better as folksonomy tags. I've already tagged all these artists with 'ukrainian' and I don't think there's any other information on there that we might want to keep. [[User:Nikki|Nikki]] 11:50, 20 March 2009 (UTC)

The page itself might be useless, but the "[[Special:Whatlinkshere/Needs_Intertwingling|backlinks]]" might come in handy. [[User:PavanChander|navap]] 00:30, 7 April 2009 (UTC)
== [[Remove TRM ID]] ==
:A category would be better. - [[User:Adan Aileron|Adan Aileron]] ([[User talk:Adan Aileron|talk]]) 18:39, 17 April 2009 (UTC)
[[Special:Whatlinkshere/Remove TRM ID|Whatlinkshere/Remove TRM ID]]
* +1 The page is itself empty, and any backlinks are likely made redundant via the Needs Review category. [[User:BrianFreud]] 28 Feb, 2010


This page only exists to redirect to a nonexistent page. [[User:PavanChander|navap]] 23:34, 21 March 2009 (UTC)

I don't see any relevance for this in the year 2009, with [[NGS]] being implemented... [[User:Pronik|pronik]] 21:32, 11 May 2009 (UTC)
== [[TRM Collision]] ==
[[Special:Whatlinkshere/TRM Collision|Whatlinkshere/TRM Collision]]


Veto: Considering the amount of drama which went into this, and the fact that even today we have people who raise debates about Featuring Artist Style, there would still seem good reason to retain this bit of history. (I'm not against removing history, but I do think we ought to retain history that actually is still useful... consider how many times some of us have wished we still had access to the earlier (official) pre-re-proposal version of SoundtrackStyle...) [[BrianFreud]] 28 Feb, 2010
This page is woefully out of date. We don't have TRMs anymore, never mind TRM collisions. [[User:Nikki|Nikki]] 09:28, 22 March 2009 (UTC)
* +1 [[User:PavanChander|navap]] 12:52, 23 March 2009 (UTC)


== [[WinAmp]] ==
== [[History Of Opera Track Style]] ==
[[Special:Whatlinkshere/WinAmp|Whatlinkshere/WinAmp]]


Mostly non-relevant for anything. CSG2 is upon us. [[User:Pronik|pronik]] 21:34, 11 May 2009 (UTC)
This page is only linked to a couple of times and Wikipedia has far more detailed information. I think it'd be better to just point people towards Wikipedia than try to document music players unrelated to us ourselves. [[User:Nikki|Nikki]] 09:33, 22 March 2009 (UTC)
* +1 [[User:PavanChander|navap]] 12:52, 23 March 2009 (UTC)
* +1 [[User:Murdos|Murdos]] 07:04, 27 March 2009 (UTC)


Veto: Even with CSGv2, the CSGv2 proposal explicitly moves this page, among others, to a historical status in the wiki. It's hard to say that the page is "mostly non-revelant for anything", given that that page itself principally developed the Opera Style proposal, and the concerns raised on it led directly to some of the elements within CSGv2. Esp given the huge debate that's gone in to CSGv2, maintaining some history regarding its development would seem essential, if only to point new users of MB data at when they question why CSGv2 does something the way it does. [[BrianFreud]] 28 Feb, 2010
== [[Moderator Language Template]] ==
[[Special:Whatlinkshere/Moderator_Language_Template|Whatlinkshere/Moderator_Language_Template]]


== [[Classical Style Guide Discussion History]] ==
This page doesn't serve much use anymore as we are now using categories. [[User:PavanChander|navap]] 14:06, 23 March 2009 (UTC)
* +1 [[User:Murdos|Murdos]] 07:04, 27 March 2009 (UTC)

Discussion history... That's what mailing list archives are for... [[User:Pronik|pronik]] 21:35, 11 May 2009 (UTC)
== [[Arbitrary_URL_Feature]] ==
[[Special:Whatlinkshere/Arbitrary_URL_Feature|Whatlinkshere/Arbitrary_URL_Feature]]


Again, veto, and for the same rationale as Opera Style. Mailing list archives only work for style development which occurs within that mailing list. Much of the earlier CSG, then Opera Style, then CSGv2 development took place outside of the mailing lists; this page, in particular, was essentially the clearinghouse for post-CSG(v1) modifications to the guideline which, for various and sundry reasons (namely the size of the effort that would be required - eg: CSGv2), never actually happened, prior to CSGv2's rewrite of the entire set of guidelines. [[BrianFreud]] 28 Feb, 2010
This page has relatively useless planning notes for creation of [[Advanced_Relationships]]. [[User:RobertKaye|RobertKaye]] 19:34, 23 March 2009 (UTC)

== [[Mailing List Template]] ==
== [[Advanced Moderation]] ==
[[Special:Whatlinkshere/Mailing List Template|Whatlinkshere/Mailing List Template]]


It confuses more than it helps. If it's relevant, those parts should be extracted to an article, otherwise delete it. [[User:Pronik|pronik]] 21:41, 11 May 2009 (UTC)
We already have pages for all the mailing lists (which are mostly just duplicates of the data on [[Mailing List]]) and I don't think we'll be adding more mailing lists any time soon. [[User:Nikki|Nikki]] 08:33, 25 March 2009 (UTC)

== Individual cover art pages ==
== [[PostgreSQL]] ==


I've gathered the various individual permission pages into [[Cover Art Sites/Permission|one page]] so I think it's safe to delete all the permission pages inside [[:Category:Cover Art]] and just work from the one page. --[[User:PavanChander|navap]] 15:48, 23 December 2009 (UTC)

[[Special:Whatlinkshere/Artist ID]]
* -1 These pages are not safe to delete, some of them are referenced at least in edits notes or annotations (e.g. CoverArtSites, AmazonRelationshipType or AdvancedRelationshipStyle). [[User:Murdos|Murdos]] 13:30, 15 March 2010 (UTC)
:* The same argument could be made about any page; do we really plan to maintain a massive collection of redirecting pages forever, just to avoid breaking links in edit notes, trac, jira, or annotations? [[User:BrianSchweitzer|BrianSchweitzer]] 13:33, 15 March 2010 (UTC) ... Just checking, we have 2160 pages which are redirects. We have 4849 total pages. So nearly 50% of the entire wiki is redirects... [[User:BrianSchweitzer|BrianSchweitzer]] 13:38, 15 March 2010 (UTC)

:: How about using sections on [[MusicBrainz Identifier]] so they can be referred to with anchors (i.e. MusicBrainz Identifier#Artist ID) then? I really don't see the point in having 5 pages to explain what MusicBrainz IDs are when the content of each page is pretty much identical. The pages themselves aren't even very long, one paragraph (which copy/pasted between each page, with Artist changed to Release or whatever), one example and then loads of included template stuff.

* -1 For the same reason as above. Good or not, the current system for these pages is well linked by navigation cards, categories and a number of direct links to them. Changing all that for the sole benefit of aesthetic considerations is plain useless work IMHO. [[User:dmppanda|dmppanda]]
and [[User:BrianSchweitzer|BrianSchweitzer]] 21:55, 22 March 2010 (UTC)
:: I think in general the wiki needs a lot of condensing, we seem to have a sort of [[:Category:Terminology|one-page-for-every-thought]] kind of approach; not only is this aesthetically displeasing, but it is confusing and makes it hard to find all the relevant information on a topic one would want to look up. It is my opinion that we don't need to have an entire page dedicated to explaining what a [[Failed Dependency]] or [[Split Release]] is; I'm not suggesting that all the pages on [[:Category:Terminology]] be merged, but I think a lot of the smaller ones (eg. [[CAE]], [[IPI]], [[ISMN]], [[ISWC]]) can be safely condensed into one terminology/glossary type of page.

:: No problem here - you have a better sense than I which ones should be kept; I'm just noting the ones that I find. :) [[User:BrianSchweitzer|BrianSchweitzer]] 23:55, 25 March 2010 (UTC)


Murdos, to clean up this section, any opposition to my clearing any comments to date, and just separating it into 2 sublists? One (growing one) of pages still for consideration, one for pages which qualify but should be saved anyhow? [[User:BrianSchweitzer|BrianSchweitzer]] 09:06, 30 March 2010 (UTC)
:: Following that train of thought, I think the same applies to "more important"/official WikiDocs pages; for example, it is my opinion that all the ARs in the [[Discography Relationship Class]] should be displayed in full on that page itself, instead of having small separate pages that become hard to interlink. In fact that same thing should be done for quite a few of the pages in [[:Category:Relationship Class]], [[:Category:Edit Types]], and wait for it, [[:Category:Identifier]]. Putting the various external links, cards, and categories aside for a moment, I don't think there is any reason for [[Track ID]] to exist on it's own when virtually all the same information already exists on [[MusicBrainz Identifier]]. Additionally, the four examples I gave from the terminology category are also in the identifier category, but if you look at their "[[Special:Whatlinkshere/IPI|backlinks]]" page it's evident that they just link to each other and the two categories which means they are very well hidden.


== From [[Talk:Proposals#RFC-96:_AR_documentation_cleanup|Passed proposal RFC-96]] ==
:: I believe instead of throwing each little page into a category (and spreading all the information out over multiple pages) we should instead either flesh the page out or incorporate it as a section into a bigger or "parent" page, thus improving wiki navigation. I apologize if this sounded like a rant, but when I first joined mb I had a terrible time navigating the wiki and finding relevant information about ARs and style guidelines, so this is something I've felt for quite a while and felt it was an important topic to discuss.

History Of Featuring Artist Style and SG5 Disaster Relief

I don't see any relevance for this in the year 2009, with NGS being implemented... pronik 21:32, 11 May 2009 (UTC)

Veto: Considering the amount of drama which went into this, and the fact that even today we have people who raise debates about Featuring Artist Style, there would still seem good reason to retain this bit of history. (I'm not against removing history, but I do think we ought to retain history that actually is still useful... consider how many times some of us have wished we still had access to the earlier (official) pre-re-proposal version of SoundtrackStyle...)

Veto: Even with CSGv2, the CSGv2 proposal explicitly moves this page, among others, to a historical status in the wiki. It's hard to say that the page is "mostly non-revelant for anything", given that that page itself principally developed the Opera Style proposal, and the concerns raised on it led directly to some of the elements within CSGv2. Esp given the huge debate that's gone in to CSGv2, maintaining some history regarding its development would seem essential, if only to point new users of MB data at when they question why CSGv2 does something the way it does.

Classical Style Guide Discussion History

Discussion history... That's what mailing list archives are for... pronik 21:35, 11 May 2009 (UTC)

Again, veto, and for the same rationale as Opera Style. Mailing list archives only work for style development which occurs within that mailing list. Much of the earlier CSG, then Opera Style, then CSGv2 development took place outside of the mailing lists; this page, in particular, was essentially the clearinghouse for post-CSG(v1) modifications to the guideline which, for various and sundry reasons (namely the size of the effort that would be required - eg: CSGv2), never actually happened, prior to CSGv2's rewrite of the entire set of guidelines.

Advanced Moderation

It confuses more than it helps. If it's relevant, those parts should be extracted to an article, otherwise delete it. pronik 21:41, 11 May 2009 (UTC)

Label History

We do have Trac for tracking closed tickets. pronik 21:43, 11 May 2009 (UTC)

  • +1 We do *now* have Trac, plus Trac filters that can give this same list (but current), for this. ;) User:BrianFreud 28 Feb, 2010

Individual cover art pages

I've gathered the various individual permission pages into one page so I think it's safe to delete all the permission pages inside Category:Cover Art and just work from the one page. --navap 15:48, 23 December 2009 (UTC)

Redirected pages without any backlinks

I've fixed all backlinks, so none of these redirect pages are now actually used. BrianSchweitzer 13:26, 15 March 2010 (UTC)

  • -1 These pages are not safe to delete, some of them are referenced at least in edits notes or annotations (e.g. CoverArtSites, AmazonRelationshipType or AdvancedRelationshipStyle). Murdos 13:30, 15 March 2010 (UTC)
  • The same argument could be made about any page; do we really plan to maintain a massive collection of redirecting pages forever, just to avoid breaking links in edit notes, trac, jira, or annotations? BrianSchweitzer 13:33, 15 March 2010 (UTC) ... Just checking, we have 2160 pages which are redirects. We have 4849 total pages. So nearly 50% of the entire wiki is redirects... BrianSchweitzer 13:38, 15 March 2010 (UTC)
  • Since the redirection pages are already present, you'll do more harm by removing them than by doing nothing and keeping them. Murdos 14:24, 15 March 2010 (UTC)

-1 for the following pages that are IMO frequent in edit notes Murdos 23:52, 25 March 2010 (UTC):
No problem here - you have a better sense than I which ones should be kept; I'm just noting the ones that I find. :) BrianSchweitzer 23:55, 25 March 2010 (UTC)

Murdos, to clean up this section, any opposition to my clearing any comments to date, and just separating it into 2 sublists? One (growing one) of pages still for consideration, one for pages which qualify but should be saved anyhow? BrianSchweitzer 09:06, 30 March 2010 (UTC)

This page is a dupe of Editing Suggestions; the extra content is not worth being moved.

Recent Style Changes

Really bitrotted; 'recent' was 4 years ago, for maybe 2 months. :D Any dates worth saving I've copied to the relevant pages, in the history sections. BrianSchweitzer 23:15, 27 March 2010 (UTC)

Proposals/Composers As Release Artists For Tributes

An empty 3-year old 'temporary' redirect (that doesn't redirect) with suggestion that it only be kept around for a couple of weeks. BrianSchweitzer 23:26, 27 March 2010 (UTC)

Mailing Lists Compared To Forums

This was pretty bitrotted 2 years ago; now it's simply useless clutter. BrianSchweitzer 00:03, 28 March 2010 (UTC)

Answer Me

Does anyone still use this? Iirc, dmppanda and I cleared just about anything still current out of here 3 years ago. If it's not actively used, it's an empty dead-end stub. BrianSchweitzer 00:09, 28 March 2010 (UTC)


What Defines A Unique Release History

This was created when dmppanda cleaned up and RFC'd WDAUR 2 years back. This page retained a copy of the old text in case it was needed. At this point, 2 years later, and with the original of that text stored in the history of WDAUR anyhow, there seems zero point in continuing to keep the WDAUR History page.
