Before [[Series|series]] were added to the database, some series had pages on this wiki listing the releases. Now that the information can be stored in the database properly, they need migrating to the database. Feel free to jump in and help out! :)
{{DocumentationHeader|Terminology|Release}}


As well as creating a series entity and linking the release groups or releases (as appropriate) to it, please also remove the links to the wiki pages from the annotations. [http://musicbrainz.org/search?query=text%3A(series+AND+wiki)&type=annotation&method=advanced This search] might be helpful as a starting point.
In [[MusicBrainz Terminology|MusicBrainzTerminology]], a series is a sequence of separate [[Release]]s or [[Track]]s with a common theme, artist, label or genre; usually prominent in the naming of branding of releases or tracks in the series. For release series, individual releases are often denoted with a volume or series number, but this is not necessary for them to be considered a series. A series can vary between two and hundreds of releases.


The following is a list of existing pages which need migrating ([http://wiki.musicbrainz.org/index.php?title=Special%3APrefixIndex&prefix=Series%2F&namespace=0 or see a full list of pages under Series/]):

==Catalogs of series==

The following is a non-exhaustive set of series cataloged in the MB documentation prior to the implementation of the [[Part Of Series Relationship Type|PartOfSeriesRelationshipType]]. Many, or all of these series should be linked with this relationship and then removed from the documentation.

Prior to the AR implementation, the standard was that if a series had ten releases or more, to create a page like below and add to the [[Release Annotation|ReleaseAnnotation]] an entry like ''[[Series/Dream Dance|Series/DreamDance]]'' using the below markup:
