History:Annotation

Annotations history

Purpose

This page should be used to store historical informations about previous uses of annotations, deprecated guidelines, fixed tickets, so on. While probably most "past" bugs/discussions are of little interest, some of them hold special value and should be kept.

This page has some direct relations with AnnotationFuture (tickets usually begin life there, and finish here).

Fixed: List of fixed tickets (down to ~2000 + 1259)

• 2588: Can't show annotation diff
• 2587: "Add release annotation" edit depends on autoeditor privilege
• 2585: Add release annotation and Edit release annotation are not autoedits on ...
• 2582: No way to show annotation if it's not an autoedit
• 2381: simple link to annotations
• 2323: Album annotation fields accept and render HTML (including script tags)
• 2150: "Edit annotation" page does not allow adding an edit note
• 2018: Annotations don't seem to get shortened any more
• 1259: Add support for track annotations

Fixed: List of old discussions

None.

Release annotation (glorious) history

Prior to the introduction of the label system in MusicBrainz, release annotations were used extensively by brave moderators (the former name of editors) to store release data, possibly thanks to TeleGUISE's head-bashing, errrrr suggestions. This led to several revisions of the not-really-followed-but-could-have-been-official, Shepard's turbulent child: ReleaseAnnotationStyle (FIXME: move that page away), and a lot of nitpicking to decide if we were to use "cat #:", "catalog #:", "catalogue #:", and other super-duper important style reflexions, like whether or not we should use bold and italics wiki formatting...

While mainly of historical interest, you should read this document for self-edification, or for some interesting thoughts about how different editions relate to each other and how this pertains (or not) to NadelnderBambus.
