Status: We (well mostly Dupuy) are currently RestructuringTheDocumentation; i.e. moving the MusicBrainzDocumentation from the main server into the Wiki. The docs on the homepage are often quite dated, so we will try to update and intertwingle them here. But this is work in progress, so beware and read the status notices!

Right now this page is roughly structured into docs for users, for developers and other. It would probably be better to have different structures that present the documentation. So I hereby invite everyone to invent and add categories likefor the following pages. Just go ahead and create some! We can sort it out later --DonRedman

User Documentation

  • A collection of tutorials. Lightweight, short and user-orientated step by step instructions.
  • A general introduction and detailed descriptions of each type of edit that you can possibly make to MusicBrainz data.
  • A collection of all terms the MusicBrainz community uses, what they mean, and wheter there is a wiki page explaining them.
  • Describes the assignement of the language and script attribute to releases.
  • Documentation of the PicardTagger, the next generation tagger in development.
  • Also quite rudimentary. It explains the decision mechanism of the ModBot.
  • How to use the powerful text search features in MusicBrainz

Developer Documentation

I am not sure how much of this stuff really belongs here. Some of it is probably better of in MusicBrainzDevelopment. --DonRedman

Tagging

The following pages are pretty messy, partially outdated, and make extensive use of BadWikiNames.
