Let's say that I'd like to add the information that artist [[Artist:ee1ed7fa-26d6-4022-be87-74ca4adcb681|Grinspoon]] has a [[Wikipedia|WikiPedia]] page at URL [http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Grinspoon http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Grinspoon]. <br/> Here are the steps:

==Login==

If you aren't already logged in, login to [[MusicBrainz]] (see [[Logging In|LoggingIn]]).

==Find the element==

Browse to the thing you want to link to a web page. In this case, I'm going to the artist release, [[Artist:ee1ed7fa-26d6-4022-be87-74ca4adcb681|Grinspoon]].

==Select the element and open the Relationship Editor==

To do this, click on the "Relate to URL" link in the box just under the title box. That's the one circled in red in the following diagram:

This will take you to a page where you have to choose which kind of relationship you want to use. This page will be different depending on whether you have [[JavaScript]] enabled in your browser. If you do, the page will look like this:

[[Image:rel-creator-init-withjs.png]]

[[JavaScript]] allows the page to hide unnecessary detail depending on which values you choose. If you have [[JavaScript]] disabled, the page will look rather more complicated:

The rest of screenshots are going to assume that [[JavaScript]] is enabled. However, the instructions are the same with or without [[JavaScript]].

==Choose the relationship type==

Select the correct relationship type from the drop-down box at the top. In my case I choose "has a Wikipedia page at", in the "other databases" category.

==Enter you URL==

Now paste or write your URL in the URL field. In my case I type <code><nowiki>http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Grinspoon</nowiki></code>.

So that relationship is ready to submit. You may type an edit note, and then click on the "Submit" button.

'''Tip:''' If you have [[JavaScript]] enabled, for some relationship types you can just page your URL and the relationship type will be automatically selected in the drop-dow box at the top. [[Wikipedia Relationship Type|WikipediaRelationshipType]] is one of this relationship types so could try again with <code><nowiki>http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Grinspoon</nowiki></code> ;)

==Finished==

The edit has now been submitted, and other users can now vote on it. In the meantime, [[MusicBrainz]] generously assumes that the moderation is OK, and displays it on the release page for Easy:

This will now be visible to all users, until the edit gets voted down or the relationship is deleted by another edit.

Note: If your URL is changed/corrected while the add AR edit is still open, the original URL will still display in the voting screens for that edit, even though the actual URL has since been changed. (This is true even if the URL is edited by autoedit.)
