==Overview== |
|||
A '''Release annotation''' is user contributed text attached to a specific release entry. |
|||
<small>{i} You may consult either the [[Annotation]] or [[Release]] page for general informations about them. </small> |
|||
==Release annotation content== |
|||
[[Image:Idea.png]] A release annotation may hold any information about a release that does not fit into the fields of the database, or which is not allowed to be in the [[Release Title|ReleaseTitle]] or [[Track Title|TrackTitle]]<code><nowiki></nowiki></code>s according to the [[Official Style Guideline|OfficialStyleGuideline]]<code><nowiki></nowiki></code>s. The following uses are suggested: |
|||
* '''Trivia''': sells, awards... |
|||
* '''Historical facts''' related to the conditions or recording and/or production of the release |
|||
* '''Disambiguation''': notes that help differentiate this release from another (possibly identically named different release, or different edition), indications about bonus tracks... |
|||
* '''Miscellaneous editing warnings or informations''': notes specifically warning users about some uncommon aspect of the release, that shouldn't be changed (capitalization, spelling, ...) |
|||
* '''Additional comment about the state of the informations''': things to fix, to research |
|||
* '''Alternate release title''' or other edition indications |
|||
* '''Data that can't fit in the fields of the database, but should, due to a current technical limitation''' |
|||
* This list is not exhaustive: you may use a release annotation for pretty much anything you can think of - as long as it matches the purpose of [[Annotation]]s, and relates to the release entry to which it's attached. |
|||
{X} You '''mustn't''' add copyrighted content copied from other resources, be they online or printed. More generally, you really shouldn't copy/paste any kind of content, unless it's purely factual. |
|||
==Release annotation style== |
|||
For translated/transliterated releases, the following wording is suggested: |
|||
* For the original release use: |
|||
<ul><li style="list-style-type:none">"Please do not change the capitalization of this release, it is exactly the way it should be as this is a ''japanese'' release, for the transliterated [resp. translated] version go here ''[link]''. These releases must not be merged." |
|||
</ul> |
|||
* For the transliterated/translated version: |
|||
<ul><li style="list-style-type:none">"This is a transliterated [resp. translated] version of ''[link to original]''. These releases must not be merged." |
|||
</ul> |
