Ressources
- Moderator Language (and cadalach is willing to help with Gaelic)
Learned by advice
- No "Nr." (See edit #6262364)
- Parts in the disc title should be separated by slashes. (see edit #6232220)
- Tempi in the track title should be separated by hyphens. (see edit #6232082 and MultipleTitleStyle)
- Use "(feat. <artist>)" when adding artists to the track title except for orchestras. (See edit #6262372)
- Use
″
(U+2033 'DOUBLE PRIME') as the symbol for inch. (See edit #28374999)
Comments (for Copy 'n' Paste)
- moved featured artists from title to artist field
- moved featured artists from title to artist field and resolved [Tracks_With_Multiple_Artists]
- You might want to correct the capitalization (see [Style/Language/English]). The "Guess case" button is your friend. (Well, almost. You have to check afterwards.)
- Use a colon (:) to separate multi‐line parts of a release title (if no other dividing punctuation mark is present). See [Style/Titles/Subtitles].
- [Style/Titles/Volume_numbers] explains how to enter volume numbers. The "Guess case" button is your friend.
- Please enter as much information as possible. The release can be found at amazon, so you can provide a link.
- Please follow [Style/Titles/Featured_artists] for featured artists.
- The disambiguation comments are fields in the database used to help distinguish identically named artists, labels and other entities. See [Disambiguation_Comment].
Notes
- You can use the MusicBrainz ID in the relationship editor
- Klicking through tons of similar items? Put in the MB-ID (looks like any UUID, e.g. 2520cdaf-6146-3293-b856-5b163e76e1d2).
- You can use (undocumented?) wiki style in comments
- "[Style/Miscellaneous]" results in Style/Miscellaneous
- "edit #5582056" results in edit #5582056
- Punctuation:
- As a general rule, MusicBrainz editors should correct spelling and punctuation. (Style/Principle/Error_correction_and_artist_intent)
- Use of basic ASCII punctuation characters such as ' and " is allowed, but typographically-correct punctuation is preferred. (Style/Miscellaneous)
- Picard can convert Unicode punctuation characters in MusicBrainz data to ASCII for consistent use of punctuation in tags. ([1], [2])
- Japanese artists have a tendency to choose capitalization and punctuation for aesthetic reasons; and to be very consistent regarding case over all releases. For this reason, words in the Latin script on a Japanese release should be in the same case as on the album art if other available sources, such as official discography or record label pages, are consistent; not normalized according to English or other capitalization standards. (Style/Language/Japanese)
- English quotation marks:
‘…’
“…”
([3]) - German quotation marks (in Germany):
„…“
‚…‘
»…«
›…‹
([4]) - English apostrophe:
’
(U+2019 'RIGHT SINGLE QUOTATION MARK') ([5]) - English ellipsis is treated inconsistently ([6]). Some authorities require three dots, some suggest using the prefabricated ellipsis character
…
(U+2026 'HORIZONTAL ELLIPSIS'). The use of spaces before and/or after the ellipsis is also inconsistent. - English number signs come in different shapes.

(U+1D12A 'MUSICAL SYMBOL DOUBLE SHARP'),𝄰
(U+1D130 'MUSICAL SYMBOL SHARP UP'),𝄱

(U+1D132 'MUSICAL SYMBOL QUARTER TONE SHARP') - The numero sign

(U+2116 'NUMERO SIGN'). - The prime symbol
′
(U+2032 'PRIME') is commonly used to represent feet (ft), arcminutes (am) and minutes (min). The double prime″
(U+2033 'DOUBLE PRIME') represents inches (in), arcseconds (as) and seconds (s). ([7]) - Please, let's never get started with white space characters. ([8])
Open questions
- How can edits be protected?
- Sometimes the spelling is special, some annotations are non-trivial. Is there a way to subscribe to releases instead of artists?
- At that time, there's only two ways to "protect" stuff: (a) write a big fat warning in the release annotation and/or (b) subscribe to the artists, and vote/watch the changes. Now, there's some discussion to address this in DataQuality. -- RobertKaye 2007-02-12
- Will there be more filters and options to search for edits?
- I'm still missing "order by closing date", "All my open edits that have comments from someone else", "All open edits from other editors that I commented" and "All my open edits that are in conflict with another open edit".
Disclaimer
I think this is a good place to collect open questions and resolved issues. Drop me a line if I'm wrong. I will delete this page then.
- Please don't delete it. It's your page after all ;). Now, maybe this is not the most appropriate place to ask questions, as most people won't notice (errr... well, that leaves you with answers from the "not-most" people :p). There are two good places for fast answers: the users mailing list, and IRC. -- dmppanda 20:54, 27 October 2006 (UTC)
