Relationship Attribute "Cover"

Link Phrases

  • track or album is a parody of track or album
  • track or album is parodied by track or album

Description

This AdvancedRelationshipAttribute specifies a particular CoverRelationshipType. It links an original version of a track to a parody version of a track.

From 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". (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 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 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? -- dmppanda 07:58, 11 February 2008 (UTC)
