| − | This edit adds an [[Artist Alias|ArtistAlias]] to an existing Artist [[Image:aicon.png]] |
||
| − | |||
| − | ===How to do it=== |
||
| − | |||
| − | * The [http://musicbrainz.org/edit/artistalias/add.html?id=36434 Add New Alias] link below the list of existing aliases on an [http://musicbrainz.org/show/artist/aliases.html?artistid=36434 artist aliases page] takes you to a page where you can add a new [[Artist Alias|ArtistAlias]] (AddArtistAliasEdit). |

| − | ==Guidelines== |
||
| − | |||
| − | ===Editing=== |
||
| − | |||
| − | * Aliases are useful to enhance search results; there are a number of legit reasons to create a new alias: misspellings, variants, numbers... Be sure to read [[Artist Alias|ArtistAlias]] for a complete list. |
||
| − | * Thanks to the Lucene search engine that [[MusicBrainz]] uses, there is no longer a need for aliases containing unaccented characters |
||
| − | * [[Artist Alias|ArtistAlias]] in [[MusicBrainz]] are not the same as in Discogs: an alias here is nothing more than a search hint, not a way to collect different names used by an artist in different circumstances (use a [[Performance Name|PerformanceName]] in that case). |
||
| − | * There is no reason to add an [[Artist Sort Name|ArtistSortName]] as an alias. |
||
| − | * Adding aliases won't help [[Last.fm|LastFm]]! They don't use [[MusicBrainz]] data anymore, and don't use [[Artist Alias|ArtistAlias]]<code><nowiki></nowiki></code>es anyhow. |
||
| − | * Use [[Artist Alias|ArtistAlias]]<code><nowiki></nowiki></code>es sparingly. Adding too many (bogus) aliases will actually degrade the search quality and encourage misattribution. |
||
| − | |||
| − | ===Voting=== |
||
| − | |||
| − | * The [[Artist Alias|ArtistAlias]] page covers most legitimate uses. |
||
| − | |||
| − | ==Notes== |
||
| − | |||
| − | At that time, [[Artist Alias|ArtistAlias]]<code><nowiki></nowiki></code>es have to be unique ([[Ticket:780|780]]). |
||
| − | |||
| − | ===Prerequisites=== |
||
| − | |||
| − | * An AddArtistAliasEdit will fail due to a [[Failed Prerequisite|FailedPrerequisite]] if that alias already exists (be it attached to the same artist or to another one). |
||
| − | * An AddArtistAliasEdit will fail due to a [[Failed Prerequisite|FailedPrerequisite]] if the artist is deleted by a [[Remove Artist Edit|RemoveArtistEdit]]. |
