Initial Discussion



This proposal updates Miscellaneous Guideline to the following:

Use of special characters

Use of basic ASCII punctuation characters such as ' and " is allowed, but typographically-correct punctuation is preferred. The Classical Style Guide has its own rules about punctuation in titles; please follow that guideline where it applies. As always, Artist Intent overrides this guideline.

"Top something" Playlists

Bootleg torrents that are compilations based on playlists of charts authorities (like Billboard's) should not be stored in MusicBrainz as releases. These playlists are often copyrighted by their issuers.

Other Do-Not's

There's some guiding information available What Not To Link To. It is not an Official Style Guideline, but is information that should help while editing.
