The MusicBrainz Wiki is located at [http://wiki.musicbrainz.org/ https://wiki.musicbrainz.org/]. With a few exceptions, it is the source of all MusicBrainz' documentation through the [[WikiDocs]] transclusion mechanism.


(It’s currently being converted as a MetaBrainz Wiki by adding a namespace for each project; See [[jira:OTHER-415]] for follow-up.)

== Using the Wiki ==
Some of the pages in this wiki are also visible via the [[MusicBrainz Web Site|MusicBrainzWebSite]]. See [[WikiDocs]] for more details and [[MusicBrainz Wiki License|MusicBrainzWikiLicense]] for informations about our license.


When editing this wiki please stick to [[Good Wiki Style|good wiki style]].
==Anti-Spam Measures==


The [[Sandbox|sandbox]] is available to use if you would like to experiment.
You'll need to log in to get to some pages; see [[Wiki Spam Protection|WikiSpamProtection]].


===Syntax===
Also all email addresses in pages are automatically obfuscated to protect them from "harvesting".


The wiki uses [http://www.mediawiki.org/wiki/Help:Formatting the standard syntax for MediaWiki]. Additionally, it supports various [[Special:Interwiki|interwiki]] links to make it easier to link to the various entities of the MusicBrainz database.
==Wiki Administration==


<div style="float: left; width: 64%; margin-right: 2%;">
There are a couple of pages which control who is able to do what in this wiki. The exact rights are:
* '''Everybody''' can read and write normal pages.
⚫
* '''Logged in users''' can read, write, and revert normal pages.
* Members of the '''[[Page Deletor Group|PageDeletorGroup]]''' can read, write, revert, and delete normal pages.
<ul><li style="list-style-type:none">Page deletors must be very careful to ''never rename [[WikiDocs Page|WikiDocsPage]]<code><nowiki></nowiki></code>s''!
⚫
</ul>
* Members of the '''[[Moin Pages Editor Group|MoinPagesEditorGroup]]''' can read, write, revert, and delete special [[MoinMoin:SystemPages|SystemPages]].
* Members or the [[Admin Group|AdminGroup]] can read, write, revert, and delete ''all'' pages. Additionally they can change ACLs (see [[MoinMoin:HelpOnAccessControlLists|HelpOnAccessControlLists]]) and edit special pages, like
** [[Page Deletor Group|PageDeletorGroup]]
** [[Moin Pages Editor Group|MoinPagesEditorGroup]]
** [[Admin Group|AdminGroup]]


<nowiki>[[Artist:c0b2500e-0cef-4130-869d-732b23ed9df5|Tori Amos]]</nowiki>
These rights are defined like so:
<br/><nowiki>[[ReleaseGroup:7c4cab8d-dead-3870-b501-93c90fd0a580|The Downward Spiral]]</nowiki>
<br/><nowiki>[[Release:b84ee12a-09ef-421b-82de-0441a926375b|Dark Side of the Moon]]</nowiki>

Note that deleting a page is not a dangerous thing. It can be reverted quickly. However, ''renaming'' a page can destroy a transcluded [[WikiDocs]] page ([[Dont Rename Wiki Docs Pages|DontRenameWikiDocsPages]]!). Since [[Moin Moin|MoinMoin]] has no special "rename" right (renaming requires read, write, and delete), we are ''very'' reluctant to give out delete rights.

==Status of the Wiki==
=== Anti-Spam Measures ===


In order to edit a page on the wiki, you will need to pass an [[Wiki Spam Protection|anti-spam]] check.

The project to [[Restructure The Wiki|RestructureTheWiki]] is largely complete and we are now [[Restructuring The Documentation|RestructuringTheDocumentation]]. There is information on the [[Status Of This Wiki|StatusOfThisWiki]] to tell you which parts are stable and which are "in progress". Things will probaly get worse during the time we implement [[WikiDocs]].


# '''Everybody''' (including anonymous users) can read and edit on the wiki.
When editing this wiki please stick to [[Good Wiki Style|GoodWikiStyle]]. You can also use the [[Sand Box|SandBox]] (or the other [[Sandbox]]) if you just want to test the [[Moin Moin Wiki Syntax|MoinMoinWikiSyntax]].
