Tarragon this page is not about remixes alone anymore. It looks to me as if some guidelines could be merged into a new simplified guideline or the distinction between them has to be clearly defined. Just look at this: [[Extra Information Style|ExtraInformationStyle]], [[Things To Leave Out Style|ThingsToLeaveOutStyle]], [[Track Attributes Style|TrackAttributesStyle]]. |

I would propose a page ExtraTitleInformationStyle. This one could explain the general way of dealing with [[Extra Title Information|ExtraTitleInformation]] and then it could link to detailed pages: [[Remix Style|RemixStyle]], [[Versus Style|VersusStyle]], [[Soundtrack Title Style|SoundtrackTitleStyle]] (or simply [[Soundtrack Style|SoundtrackStyle]]), [[Bonus Disc Style|BonusDiscStyle]], [[Things To Leave Out|ThingsToLeaveOut]], [[Things To Do With Advanced Relationship|ThingsToDoWithAdvancedRelationship]] etc. |

Style for Extra Title Information
Additional information on an Album or Track that is not part of its MainTitle (but required to make it distinguishable from different albums or tracks with the same MainTitle) must be entered in parentheses after the MainTitle.
This ExtraTitleInformation must be put in lower case, except for those cases where it represents a proper name (f.e. the titles of a (re)mix, the names of places or persons, etc.).
Note, that this does not apply to sub-titles as explained in SeparateTitleStyle, which are handled as parts of the MainTitle.
Status: Basically this is an OfficialStyleGuideline, but since the content of this page needs some review, I would still consider it a ProposedStyleGuideline concerning specific details.
Details
The specific cases of ExtraTitleInformation are dealt with in a page of their own. Note, however, that unifiying the following guidelines is still under way:
Special Notes
- We generally do not retain information such as "(album version)" as this is considered incidental. If the release is a single, of course one of the tracks is going to be the "album version"; "album version" is not part of the title, and is extraneous ExtraTitleInformation.
Examples
Blue (extended mix)
Talking All That Jazz (Torti's Old School Mix of Edits dub)
Bear Witness (Automator's 2 Turntables and a Razor Blade re-edit)
Disciple (demo)
Discussion
For example I think "(excerpt)" and "(highlights)" should be in that ExtraInformationStyle: in brackets and lowercase and note it's not a track only matter. --ClutchEr2
The following additions to this guideline were discussed on the mailing list on 2004-11-18:
- Extra title information should always be in English, except for volume identifiers which are considered part of the title and should be consistent with the language used in the title.
- Expand all abbreviations within extra title information unless they are part of a title, ie: RMX or MX can sometimes be considered part of a remix title and so should not be blanketly expanded. Featuring is the only accepted abbreviation (as "feat."), all similar abbreviations should be expanded.
It is currently not possible to store all information about releases that people might be interested in. Rather than clutter release/track titles with too much information, the following details should be left out:
- Country of release or designation as an import
- Record label
- Designation as a "bonus track"
- Any other information not discussed in the OfficialStyleGuideline
s.
You can, however, add this information to the AlbumAnnotation.
