==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: |
|||
* [[Image:Checkmark.png]] '''Trivia''': sells, awards... |
|||
* [[Image:Checkmark.png]] '''Historical facts''' related to the conditions or recording and/or production of the release |
|||
* [[Image:Checkmark.png]] '''Disambiguation''': notes that help differentiate this release from another (possibly identically named different release, or different edition), indications about bonus tracks... |
|||
* [[Image:Checkmark.png]] '''Miscellaneous editing warnings or informations''': notes specifically warning users about some uncommon aspect of the release, that shouldn't be changed (capitalization, spelling, ...) |
|||
* [[Image:Checkmark.png]] '''Additional comment about the state of the informations''': things to fix, to research |
|||
* [[Image:Checkmark.png]] '''Alternate release title''' or other edition indications |
|||
* [[Image:Checkmark.png]] '''Data that can't fit in the fields of the database, but should, due to a current technical limitation''' |
|||
* [[Image:Checkmark.png]] This list is not exhaustive: you may use a label 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> |
|||

==Release annotation (glorious) history== |
|||
Prior to the introduction of the label system in MusicBrainz, release annotations were used extensively by brave moderators (the former name of editors) to store release data, possibly thanks to [[User:TeleGUISE|TeleGUISE]]'s head-bashing, errrrr suggestions. This led to several revisions of the not-really-followed-but-could-have-been-official, [[User:Shepard|Shepard]]'s turbulent child: [[Release Annotation Style|ReleaseAnnotationStyle]], and a lot of nitpicking to decide if we were to use "cat #:", "catalog #:", "catalogue #:", and other super-duper important style reflexions, like whether or not we should use bold and italics wiki formatting... |
|||
While mainly of historical interest, you should read this document for self-edification, or for some interesting thoughts about how different editions relate to each other and how this pertains (or not) to [[Nadelnder Bambus|NadelnderBambus]]. |
|||
For the record, here is such a piece-of-old-school annotation: |
|||
* '''Label:''' Atlantic - '''Catalog #:''' 1317 - '''Format:''' 12"LP - '''Discogs:''' 488973 - '''Rel:''' 1959 US |
|||
