==Description==

This [[Advanced Relationship Attribute|AdvancedRelationshipAttribute]] specifies a particular [[Cover Relationship Type|CoverRelationshipType]]. It links an original version of a track to a parody version of a track.

From [[WikiPedia:Parody_music|Wikipedia]]: It "involves changing or recycling existing (usually very well known) musical ideas or lyrics - or copying the peculiar style of a composer or artist, or even a general style of music." In classical music, a "parody" refers "to 15th- to 18th-century music, parody means a reworking of one kind of composition into another". ([http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Parody#Use_in_classical_music Wikipedia])

===Don't Make Relationship Clusters===

Please don't link every version of a parody song to every original version: this data is redundant. In addition to clogging up track pages with unnecessary information, it makes work for people who may need to update or correct the information later. See [[Don't Make Relationship Clusters|DontMakeRelationshipClusters]] for more discussion of this problem. Only link to the original released version of the song which is being parodied.

==Discussion==

This page contains factual errors, is badly formated (there is a template for [[Advanced Relationship Attribute|AdvancedRelationshipAttribute]] which '''should''' be followed), and doesn't contain anything that isn't already in the Cover page. We need *better* documentation, not *more* (bad) documentation. Adding a separate page for a (minor) rel attribute IMHO is overkill (maintenance-wide) - especially for an attribute that is used by a unique type. I really think making the Cover page better is more useful. What ya think Brian? -- [[User:dmppanda|dmppanda]] 07:58, 11 February 2008 (UTC)
<ul><li style="list-style-type:none">The factual error here is the linking phrases - which are as per the RFV, which appears to not have been followed during implementation. I also very specifically included here the info re classical parodies, which has a very different meaning from the common modern parody - and is not detailed on the cover page. We need better documentation, yes, but also, and I forget where, there's a concept buried somewhere in this moin that if it would be linked to, it ought to be its own page, not an anchor - and I could quite easily see various places where we would link to the parody concept, not the overall cover concept. In general, though, I just thought the standard page deletion process ought to have been followed. -- [[Brian Schweitzer|BrianSchweitzer]] 08:34, 11 February 2008 (UTC)
