CatCat: it works slightly different than, say, on the release editor, where you can change recording artists based on track artists even if you didn't change the track artist yourself

Well if you give a report now maybe Freso can still put it into his roundup? Or not. Dunno how that works :p
Freso
Sure.
CatCat
reosarevok: people are strange if they think that editing the gender/type/date will affect the name of an unrelated credit :P
If you click the first checkbox, it seems like it's going to enter an edit. But it won't, because the editor isn't (currently) changing the main artist name
CatCat
reosarevok: yea?
i guess i totally ignore the linked artist credits anyway
.. should those even be there? they are on the alias page
reosarevok
Same :) But some people don't and they were confused
Well it's useful for when you fix a typo and you want to fix it everywhere
CatCat
(which shoudl be renamed as "artist credits or credits" actually)
reosarevok: that.. almost never happnes tho :O
reosarevok
It's rare
CatCat
so maybe it's anot user case
reosarevok
But for example I think some people use it quite a bit when they fix a name to use the unicode punctuation
CatCat
erh i mena, that it's so rare that the ability is usefull but not necesarry
reosarevok
And then they propagate it to the ACs
CatCat
reosarevok: i don't... agree with that thoguh.. since often that might be.. wrong :O
reosarevok
Well, it's not wrong, we prefer correcting those and we basically count it as error correction / improvement
CatCat
but i am very "as on cover" soo )

Review : So last week I updated the plugins repo to build 2.0 plugins, did the same on PW side and picard side and updated some of the plugins to 2.0 , the new plugin display page can be found at https://picard.musicbrainz.org/plugins/ and v2 plugins @ https://picard.musicbrainz.org/api/v2/plugins , I also fixed a couple of picard bugs and added a couple of
tests

College quizzes took time this week and so did 3 lab assignments which as ongoing, will be free to code after the 22nd
Freso: ^ review
ill look through the backlogs for the PP discussion
Firstly, it needs an explanation of why there are two API versions (for the uninitiated). And until V2 is a formal release, I think the V2 plugins should come after V1.
I'll go see if I can work out how to make the changes and come back if I can't do it.

I was actually thinking of a dropdown for displaying different versions
with v1 as default
Mineo
I think v1 and v2 and even api versions are terms that should not appear on that page, no user will be able to understand what they mean
