Perhaps the term [[Relationship Type Editor|RelationshipTypeEditor]] (although there are also relationship ''attributes'') might be better than this one? Or [[Link Type Editor|LinkTypeEditor]]? Currently, "link editor" is probably the most common usage, although the site actually says "link moderator".

Relationship Editors

RelationshipEditors are users of MusicBrainz who have the permission to change AdvancedRelationshipTypes and AdvancedRelationshipAttributes and to add new ones.

The ideal process to get such a change done is:

  1. propose the change on the UsersMailingList
  2. If you get some positive feedback,
    1. For an existing type add the proposal to the discussion section of the existing relationship type page.
    2. For a new type write a full proposal on a page named like this SomethingRelationshipType.
  1. Propose the change to the StyleMailingList. If you get consensus there, the change will be implemented.

Current RelationshipEditors are:
