<ul><li style="list-style-type:none">Well, to me "but this is not actively used anymore" could be easily misunderstood by newbies that they should better not care about it. If something is used or not is a thing they can workout themselves, but official documentation should not say "we don't use this". At least not if there are no alternative procedures. Are there any? If not then I think it's important to still encourage people to use the current ones. Rules follow practice, but there's a difference if people are just too lazy to enter style issues in the [[Bug Tracker|BugTracker]] or if they really feel this is too formalised and we don't need documentation of open issues. :) -- [[User:Shepard|Shepard]] 15:52, 02 November 2006 (UTC) |

Starting in January 2008, there has been a flurry of activity on the mb-style list about cleaning up a large backlog of issues in the [[Classical Style Guide|ClassicalStyleGuide]]. I think we need a tool track those issues. It makes a lot of sense to resume using the tracker for this purpose. I'm going to start doing it, unless someone persuades me it's not a good idea. [[User:BrianFreud|BrianFreud]] is already restarting its use; see [http://bugs.musicbrainz.org/ticket/3549 Ticket #3549 "Clean Up CSG"]. —[[User:JimDeLaHunt|JimDeLaHunt]] 2008-02-06. |

Style issues are problems of any kind with the current OfficialStyleGuidelines, the AdvancedRelationships system or with the choice of data that MusicBrainz offers (e.g. the ReleaseLanguages or ReleaseCountry).
They are resolved in a community process by the StyleCouncil.
Bug Tracker
There is a list list of open style issues in the MusicBrainz BugTracker. How actively is still used?
