The only difference to the current guidelines is the exclusion of cases like '(disc A)' and '(page 1)'. I believe that's already a sort of consensus. --[[User:Zout|Zout]] |

I find the use of 'serial' confusing in the first bit. I thought it meant a catalogue number at first, which really threw me. It might be correct english, but perhaps it should be reworded to help idiots like me :) --[[User:Gecks|Gecks]] |

Style for Disc Numbers, Multiple Discs with Individual Names, Singles with Disc Numbers & Bonus Discs
- Discs without a name
- When a disc is part of a multi disc set and has no DiscName, indicate the disc number by appending " (disc x)"[1] to the ReleaseTitle, with 'x' indicating the sequential number without zero padding, letters etc. Also, if other words than 'disc' are specifically used on the release (e.g. 'page'), still use 'disc'.
- Discs with a name
- An extension to the case above: when a disc also has a DiscName, that name must be included as follows: " (disc x: Disc Name)"
- Bonus disc without a name
- For a BonusDisc without a DiscName, append " (bonus disc)" to the ReleaseTitle.
- Bonus disc with a name
- For a BonusDisc with a DiscName, append " (bonus disc: Disc Name)" to the ReleaseTitle.
Note that a DiscNumber is not the same as a VolumeNumber.
DiscNumbers for singles are also added, even when they're sold separately. It is common practice in many countries, for example the UK, to number these singles. They're usually released on the same dates in the same countries. Only add a DiscNumber to the ReleaseTitle if it is actually written on the sleeve!
- This is an OfficialStyleGuideline.
Examples
- "The Wall (disc 2)"
- "Mellon Collie and the Infinite Sadness (disc 2: Twilight to Starlight)"
- "Beautiful Freak (bonus disc)"
- "Greatest Hits (bonus disc: Acoustic Hits)"
Discussion
- ↑ Yes, there is a space before the paranthesis. The ReleaseTitle should be separated from the DiscNumber in parantheses by a space.
