Proposed Style Guidelines
This page lists StyleGuidelines that are not yet official. Eventually they should then make it to the OfficialStyleGuidelines page, at the discretion of the StyleCouncil. See the page about the specific guideline for its current status. If you want to propose a new guideline, please read HowToProposeNewGuidelines.
This page contains two lists: one human edited list and one automatically generated list. There is also some related information on UnresolvedStyleIssues, but that page is not well maintained.

Tentative Summary of Proposed and Discussed Style Guidelines
- TarragonAllen proposed to define the parts of a TrackTitle or AlbumTitle as follows: MainTitle, SubTitle, VolumeNumber, ExtraTitleInformation and DiscNumber (I changed "Distinguisher" to "Number" because it is already inuse in the wiki -DR). Accordingly we should make the following pages descibing their style: MainTitleStyle, SubTitleStyle (better than SeparateTitleStyle), VolumeNumberStyle, ExtraTitleInformationStyle and DiscNumberStyle.
- Apparently this has become an OfficialStyleGuideline by now.
- Includes some discussion on how to order the different parts of the ExtraTitleInformation. Also it was proposed that ExtraTitleInformation be always in english.
- You can enter AudioBooks into MusicBrainz, but there was no StyleGuideline up to now. We prefer to have an AudioBook guideline that helps with ordering of tracks, this is currently under discussion.
- This one actually is an OfficialStyleGuideline, but one of which even the StyleDude himself is not very convinced. It will be abolished as soon as AdvancedRelationships come out.
- Describing how the ExtraTitleInformation of live tracks should be done.
- How to represent albums that were released in more than one country.
- How to record artist roles when there's more than one way (artist, album, track) to do so.
- Soundtracks are currently being handled based merely on a mailing list conversation a year or so back. This is a first attempt to actually build a complete set of guidelines to codify this.
