=Style for Extra Title Information= |
|||
'''Additional information on an [[Album]] or [[Track]] that is not part of its [[Main Title|MainTitle]] (but required to make it distinguishable from different albums or tracks with the same [[Main Title|MainTitle]]) must be entered in parentheses after the [[Main Title|MainTitle]].''' |
|||
This [[Extra Title Information|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 [[Subtitle Style|SubTitleStyle]], which are handled as parts of the [[Main Title|MainTitle]]. |
|||
'''Status:''' ''Basically this is an [[Official Style Guideline|OfficialStyleGuideline]], but since the content of this page needs some review, I would still consider it a [[Proposed Style Guideline|ProposedStyleGuideline]] concerning specific details.'' |
|||
==Details== |
|||
The specific cases of [[Extra Title Information|ExtraTitleInformation]] are dealt with in a page of their own. Note, however, that unifiying the following guidelines is still under way: |
|||
* [[Remix Style|RemixStyle]] |
|||
* [[Versus Style|VersusStyle]] |
|||
* [[Soundtrack Title Style|SoundtrackTitleStyle]] (or better [[Soundtrack Style|SoundtrackStyle]]) |
|||
* [[Instrumental Style|InstrumentalStyle]] |
|||
==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 [[Extra Title Information|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 [[Extra Information Style|ExtraInformationStyle]]: in brackets and lowercase and note it's not a track only matter. --[[User:ClutchEr2|ClutchEr2]] |

The following additions to this guideline were [http://lists.musicbrainz.org/pipermail/musicbrainz-users/2004-November/018858.html 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 [[Official Style Guideline|OfficialStyleGuideline]]<code><nowiki></nowiki></code>s. |
|||
You can, however, add this information to the [[Album Annotation|AlbumAnnotation]]. |
