This page lists [[Style Guideline|StyleGuideline]]<code><nowiki></nowiki></code>s that are not yet official. Eventually they should then make it to the [[Official Style Guideline|OfficialStyleGuideline]]s page, at the discretion of the [[Style Council|StyleCouncil]]. See the page about the specific guideline for its current status. If you want to propose a new guideline, please read [[How To Propose New Guidelines|HowToProposeNewGuidelines]].

This page contains two lists: one [[Proposed Style Guideline#human|human edited list]] and one [[Proposed Style Guideline#auto|automatically generated list]]. There is also some related information on [[Unresolved Style Issues|UnresolvedStyleIssues]], but that page is not well maintained.

==Tentative Summary of Proposed and Discussed Style Guidelines==

* [[Parts Of A Title|PartsOfATitle]]:
<ul><li style="list-style-type:none">[[User:TarragonAllen|TarragonAllen]] proposed to define the parts of a [[Track Title|TrackTitle]] or [[Album Title|AlbumTitle]] as follows: [[Main Title|MainTitle]], [[Subtitle|SubTitle]], [[Volume Number|VolumeNumber]], [[Extra Title Information|ExtraTitleInformation]] and [[Disc Number|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: [[Main Title Style|MainTitleStyle]], [[Subtitle Style|SubTitleStyle]] (better than [[Separate Title Style|SeparateTitleStyle]]), [[Volume Number Style|VolumeNumberStyle]], [[Extra Title Information Style|ExtraTitleInformationStyle]] and [[Disc Number Style|DiscNumberStyle]].
</ul>
* [[Extra Title Information Style|ExtraTitleInformationStyle]]:
<ul><li style="list-style-type:none">Includes some discussion on how to order the different parts of the [[Extra Title Information|ExtraTitleInformation]]. Also it was proposed that [[Extra Title Information|ExtraTitleInformation]] be always in english.
</ul>
* [[AudioBook Style|AudioBookStyle]]:
<ul><li style="list-style-type:none">You can enter [[Audio Book|AudioBook]]<code><nowiki></nowiki></code>s into [[MusicBrainz]], but there was no [[Style Guideline|StyleGuideline]] up to now. We prefer to have an [[Audio Book|AudioBook]] guideline that helps with ordering of tracks, this is currently under discussion.
</ul>
* [[Featuring Artist Style|FeaturingArtistStyle]]:
<ul><li style="list-style-type:none">This one actually is an [[Official Style Guideline|OfficialStyleGuideline]], but one of which even the [[Style Dude|StyleDude]] himself is not very convinced. It will be abolished as soon as [[Advanced Relationships|AdvancedRelationships]] come out.
</ul>
* [[Live Track Style|LiveTrackStyle]]:
<ul><li style="list-style-type:none">Describing how the [[Extra Title Information|ExtraTitleInformation]] of live tracks should be done.
</ul>
* [[Release Country Style|ReleaseCountryStyle]]:
<ul><li style="list-style-type:none">How to represent albums that were released in more than one country.
</ul>
* [[Artist Role Inheritance|ArtistRoleInheritance]]:
<ul><li style="list-style-type:none">How to record artist roles when there's more than one way (artist, album, track) to do so.
</ul>
* [[Soundtrack Style|SoundtrackStyle]]:
<ul><li style="list-style-type:none">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.
</ul>
