Style Issue

Style Issues

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?

• (Shepard, after a comment from DonRedman): Is this not used anymore? I always put a lot of work in keeping it up to date, was this to no purpose? -- Shepard 21:05, 01 November 2006 (UTC)
  • When I said, that this was not used anymore, I meant that I have not seen it being referred to on the StyleMailingList for quite a while. Is anybody using the tracker? -- DonRedman 08:17, 02 November 2006 (UTC)
    • 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 BugTracker or if they really feel this is too formalised and we don't need documentation of open issues. :) -- Shepard 15:52, 02 November 2006 (UTC)
