Style/Unknown and untitled/Special purpose label

"Labels" used for handling special cases

In a number of situations, it was convenient to create "phony" Labels entries in the database, to deal with some special cases.

SpecialPurposeLabels are similar in intent and functioning to SpecialPurposeArtists.

Please note that you shouldn't create any new SpecialPurposeLabel all by yourself without prior discussion about it with other editors, usually on the style MailingList.

List by case use

Special cases

• [no label]: White labels, auto-releases and other "no label" releases (usually bootlegs) should all be stored under the [no label] entry in the database.
• [unknown]: The [unknown] label is one of these things we just can't prevent from appearing... At least acknowledging it exists helps us steering on it (via LabelSubscriptions). Please note that you mustn't use this label. If you don't know what the label is for a given release, just leave the label entry blank in the release event.
