:: You're mixing URI and URL. See [[MusicBrainz_XML_Meta_Data#IDs_and_Types]]: URIs don't have the html extension.

And about the various <entity>_ID pages, no one responded to either my or Nikki's comments on [http://wiki.musicbrainz.org/?title=Candidate_for_Deletion/Current&oldid=33060 Candidate_for_Deletion/Current] where we voted for merging the various pages together. I strongly feel that duplicate/redundant information should not be spread out among several pages, especially when the resulting page (not counting header/footer templates) is all of 3 or 4 sentences like it was with these <entity>_ID pages. You mentioned that permanent IDs are an important part of MusicBrainz, and I agree, but I think that if documenting them means just talking about the permanent IDs themselves - and not the entities - then any and all documentation can fit comfortably on [[MusicBrainz Identifier]]. --[[User:PavanChander|navap]] 22:07, 25 February 2010 (UTC)

Why shouldn't the URIs have the '.html' extension? Also, can "absolute URI" be changed to just "URI"? --navap 22:07, 25 February 2010 (UTC)

You're mixing URI and URL. See MusicBrainz_XML_Meta_Data#IDs_and_Types: URIs don't have the html extension.
