Label future

Purpose

This page should be used to collect the various limitations and known bugs of the current label system in MusicBrainz, as well as ideas about how to enhance it and make it evolves toward a better model.

Outstanding bugs

  • The subscription mail doesn't contain edits for subscribed labels (related to tickets 2675 & 884)
  • ModBot doesn't "collect" empty labels and doesn't delete them
  • 2682: default label sort name

Easy enhancements

List of suggested enhancements, supposedly easy to fix:

Style and doc tasks

  • discuss and rationalize the use of SpecialPurposeLabels (like [autorelease])
  • discuss the use of collabs labels (see LabelDiscussion)
  • Doc task: documentation is lacking a lot on label EditTypes, and also EditLabelPage
  • Doc task: stuff examples in all existing documentation
  • Doc task: ACL and transclude all Label documentation
  • 2730: New AR: Label/Artist has YouTube page at X

UI quirks / missing UI

  • 2721: lookup labels based on Label Code
  • 2674: Add the possibility to search edits by label
  • 2669: label pages lack inline voting frame.
  • 2687: minor search for label hinch.
  • 2684: Nasty edits view sideways scrolling problem (Yet again)

UI + back-end hack required

  • 2653: Should get a warning/confirmation message when adding releases to holding label
  • 2635: Labels > Barcodes need to accept HYPHENS and SPACES
  • 2602: Add a warning when duplicate barcodes are entered

Questionnable enhancements

  • 2657: Server > Labels > New AR "ReleaseX was licensed from LabelY"
  • 2713: Present shortlist of labels based on existing info
  • 2711: Batch edit for labels?

Other enhancements

List of enhancements with some (bigger or unknown) technical impact:

Wontfix for now:

  • 2658: Server > Labels > "LabelX was renamed to LabelY" AR does not need begin & end dates
  • This raise the question of "extending" the AR tree so that it supports an extra information about AR (having dates or not) -- dmppanda 15:44, 23 April 2007 (UTC)

Needs research

  • There have been some discussion lately about concurrent/additional label identification systems in the wild, apparently dependent of the country. At that time, we lack informations about how these relate to the Label Code system, and there is no solution foreseen. Please provide input on that thread if you have more informations. Please AnswerMe if you do. -- dmppanda 19:28, 29 January 2007 (UTC)
