'''Status Update:''' Somewhat a [[Candidate For Deletion|CandidateForDeletion]]. This is lagging behind the real effort made on this, and is slowly bitroting. Once done with the first [[Documentation Release|DocumentationRelease]], we should check on what's in here and see if there is still things to do. Furthermore, this page name is probably just bad and may be reused for something else. -- [[User:dmppanda|dmppanda]] 18:21, 26 February 2008 (UTC)

The idea behind this is that I felt I could have a list of all terms that are explained in the wiki to remind me to use their [[Wiki Name|WikiName]]s when copy editing text.

Status: Semi-official, but in desperate need of cleanup before it can be truly official.

Basic MusicBrainz entities

Many, if not all, of these should be listed underonce they exist, and can be found through the BackLinks on that page.


For the following terms I suggest that we not use the names as WikiNames but make a page explaining the broader concept: 
  • Voting:
  • Editing:

We also have HowAnnotationsWork and HowMusicBrainzWorks. These should probably be used for detailed explanations, with other WikiNames used for more basic explanations.
