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 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 direction 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 the artist is usually seen as an actual group, member relationships should be added. If it's a short term collaboration, it should be split if possible (see How to Split Artists). If it is a collaboration with its own name and can't be split, collaboration relationships should be added to it.

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"

This report aims to identify releases which need converting to multiple artists (because the track artists are on the title field, for example). Currently it does this by looking for releases where every track contains "/" or "-".

Releases without language but script

This report shows releases that have a script but no language set. If you recognize the language, please set it! Do it only if you are pretty sure, don't just guess: not everything written in Cyrillic is Russian, for example.

Releases without script but language

This report shows releases that have a language but no script set. If you recognize the script, just add it! Remember that the script used for English (and most other European languages) is Latin.

Releases which have unexpected Amazon URLs

This report shows releases with Amazon URLs which don't follow the expected format. They might still be correct if they're archive.org cover links, but in any other case they should probably be fixed or removed.

Releases which have multiple ASINs

This report shows releases that have more than one Amazon ASIN. In most cases ASINs should map to MusicBrainz releases 1:1, so only one of them will be correct. Just check which ones do not fit the release (because of format, different number of tracks, etc). You can also enter the Amazon URL in this page to see if the barcodes fit.

Releases which have multiple Discogs links

This report shows releases that have more than one link to Discogs. In most cases a MusicBrainz release should have only one equivalent in Discogs, so only one of them will be correct. Just check which ones do not fit the release (because of format, different number of tracks, etc). Any "master" Discogs page belongs at the release group level, not at the release level, and should be removed from releases too.

Amazon URLs linked to multiple releases

This report shows Amazon URLs which are linked to multiple releases. In most cases Amazon ASINs should map to MusicBrainz releases 1:1, so only one of the links will be correct. Just check which MusicBrainz release fits the release in Amazon (look at the format, tracklist, etc). You can also enter the Amazon URL in this page and see which barcode it fits.

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.

Recordings

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.
