==Description== |
|||
In some cases, the [[Primary Artist|PrimaryArtist]] for a track (or possibly even for a release) is unknown, be it because the sleeve doesn't provide the details, or because no one knows who was the performer. |
|||
Such tracks (or releases) should be credited to '''[unknown]'''. |
|||
==Additional Information== |
|||
'''[unknown]''' is a [[Special Purpose Artist|SpecialPurposeArtist]]. |
|||
For details about when to use (and not use) '''[unknown]''', refer to [[Unknown Artist Style|UnknownArtistStyle]]. |
|||
Please note that '''[unknown]''' '''''must not''''' be used as a lazy easy solution: you are expected to at least do some minimal researches to find out the proper performers, and only use '''[unknown]''' if the information really can't be found. |
|||
Note as well that '''[unknown]''' should not be confused with other [[Special Purpose Artist|SpecialPurposeArtist]]<code><nowiki></nowiki></code>s, like [[No Artist|NoArtist]] or [[Data Track Artist|DataTrackArtist]]. |
|||
There also exists other informally used [[Special Purpose Artist|SpecialPurposeArtist]]<code><nowiki></nowiki></code>s, which may be more appropriate than '''[unknown]''' depending on the context. |
