=How To Cancel Pending Edits= |
|||
If you've made a mistake, it is possible to cancel your own [[Open Edit|OpenEdit]]<code><nowiki></nowiki></code>s. |
|||
[[Image:Attention.png]] '''Status:''' This is a good idea, but [[Needs Intertwingling|NeedsIntertwingling]] badly! |
|||
It is much better to do this than trying to enter a (for example) [[Remove Release Edit|RemoveReleaseEdit]]. Cancelling your own [[Open Edit|OpenEdit]] is immediate, while all [[Edit Type|EditType]]s that might possibly result in [[Loss Of Data|LossOfData]] must be voted upon. |
|||
==How To Do It== |
|||
To cancel your [[Open Edit|OpenEdit]], go to [http://musicbrainz.org/show/user/ your user page] page (by clicking on Account in the top bar), then clicking [http://musicbrainz.org/mod/search/pre/editor-open.html Review: ... Open edits]. |
|||
A list of your edits will then be displayed, most recent first. You can cancel any that are still open for voting by clicking on the "Cancel" link. |
|||
Note that it's not possible to delete [[Closed Edit|ClosedEdit]]<code><nowiki></nowiki></code>s. |
|||
==Example== |
|||
You enter a [[Add Release Edit|AddReleaseEdit]], but then realize an identical release already exists in the Database. |
|||
Your [[Add Release Edit|AddReleaseEdit]] has not been applied, and has no [[Disc ID|DiscID]] or [[PUID]]s attached to it, so you cancel the edit & tag against the existing release. |
|||
==When Not to Do It== |
|||
If other users have added data to your edit, or if only minor corrections are needed, then it may best to allow the edit to go through and correct it later. |
|||
For example, if another user has added a [[Disc ID|DiscID]] or [[PUID]]s to your [[Add Release Edit|AddReleaseEdit]], you should [[Merge Rather Than Delete|MergeRatherThanDelete]]. |
