User:BrianSchweitzer/Supporting Musician Relationship Type Proposal

Status: This page describes an active advanced relationship proposal and is not official.

Proposal number: RFC-274 Champion: BrianFreud Current status: Pre-RFC Initial Discussion

Description

This links supporting artists to the artists for whom they played, on an album, in a live band, and/or in rehearsals. This relationship type is the functional equivalent of the Member Of Band Relationship Type for person artist targets, though the use of this relationship type for group artist targets is not forbidden, if the relationship would be correct.

In cases of an eponymous group sharing a name with a person in the group, Band With Main Performer Name may be more correct, rather than using this relationship type.
