Artists

Artists that may be groups

This report lists artists that have type "unknown" or "person", but may be groups, because they have other artists listed as its members. If you find that an artist here is indeed a group, change its type. If it is not, please make sure that the "member of" relationships are in the right order and are correct.

Artists that may be persons

This report lists artists that have type "unknown" or "group", but may be person, based on all relationships except "collaboration". For example, an artist will appear here if it is listed as a member of another. If you find that an artist here is indeed a person, change its type. If it is not, please make sure that all the relationships are correct and make sense.

Possibly duplicate artists

This report aims to identify artists with very similar names, which might indicate that the artists need to be merged. It does not show similarly named artists if all of them have disambiguation comments. If you find some artists are indeed the same, please merge them (remember to write an edit note and give your proof). If they're different, add disambiguation comments to them so they stop appearing here.

Artists which have collaboration relationships

This report lists artists which have collaboration relationships but no URL relationships. If the collaboration has its own independent name, do nothing. If it is in a format like "X with Y" or "X & Y", you should probably split it. See How to Split Artists.

Artists which look like collaborations

This report lists artists which have "&" in their names but no member or collaboration relationships. If you find that an artist here should have "member of" relationships (that is, it is seen as an actual group, not just a collaboration) please add them. If it is just a collaboration, you should probably split it. See How to Split Artists.

Release groups

Release groups which contain no releases

This report shows release groups with no releases. In general, it is safe to just remove these, although it can be better to merge them if they duplicate another non-empty release group.

Release groups that might need to be merged

This report shows release groups with releases that are linked to releases in different release groups by part-of-set or transliteration relationships. If a pair of release groups are listed here, you should probably merge them. If the releases are discs linked with "part of set" relationships, you might want to merge them too into one multi-disc release (see How to Merge Releases).

Release groups with titles containing featuring artists

This report shows release groups with (feat. Artist) in the title. For classical releases, don't change anything. For non-classical releases, this is inherited from an older version of MusicBrainz and should be fixed. Consult the page about featured artists to know more

Releases

Releases which might need converting to "multiple artists"

Releases without language but script

Releases without script but language

Releases which have unexpected Amazon URLs

Releases which have multiple ASINs

Releases which have multiple Discogs links

Amazon URLs linked to multiple releases

Discogs URLs linked to multiple releases

Releases which have part of set relationships

Discs entered as separate releases

Releases with non-sequential track numbers

Releases with superfluous data tracks

Releases with titles containing featuring artists

This report shows releases with (feat. Artist) in the title. For classical releases, don't change anything. For non-classical releases, this is inherited from an older version of MusicBrainz and should be fixed. Consult the page about featured artists to know more.

Releases released too early

Releases where some (but not all) mediums have no format set

Releases with catalog numbers that look like ASINs

Recordings

Recordings with earliest release relationships

Tracks whose names include their sequence numbers

Recordings with titles containing featuring artists

This report shows recordings with (feat. Artist) in the title. For classical releases, don't change anything. For non-classical releases, this is inherited from an older version of MusicBrainz and should be fixed (both at the recordings at the tracks!). Consult the page about featured artists to know more.

ISRCs

ISRCs with multiple recordings
