Here are some problems I encountered making these changes, while pronik was away:

* Labels
** ''Label type'': I've taken 'Type:' away, and left just the type string in
** ''Label country'': I've taken 'Country:' away and changed it to 'Founded in x'
* Other issues:
** We prefer 'Edit History' - but this looks like a 'Verb Noun' phrase (ie, the link is for editing the history, which is confusing. Maybe change to editing history?)

Release pages

  • Info: (lose this label)
    • Link / Details - provides nothing more than cannot be found on the page - kill this, and associated page?
    • Tags - kill this link, move it to the tags line
    • Show/hide Artists - placement not optimal
    • Show/hide relationships - hide if the tracks have no relationships
    • Show/hide disc IDs - maybe just a link to disc ids on a separate page. "X Disc IDs"
    • Google - doesn't belong on viewing releases, move to a release's edit page.
    • View edits - s/edit history/
  • Edit: (lose this label)
    • Add relationship - kill, belongs in AR box
    • Move - rename to "Change Artist"
    • Remove - s/delete/
  • Ratings - move to release line, scrap the statistics

Odd notes

Here are some problems I encountered making these changes, while pronik was away:

  • Labels
    • Label type: I've taken 'Type:' away, and left just the type string in
    • Label country: I've taken 'Country:' away and changed it to 'Founded in x'
  • Other issues:
    • We prefer 'Edit History' - but this looks like a 'Verb Noun' phrase (ie, the link is for editing the history, which is confusing. Maybe change to editing history?)
