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.
