There's “Begin date” and “End date” for relationship “wrote”. Is it really sensible?

Yes. Some works are written over a long period of time.

Hi flamingspinash, wave dash is correct mapping in Unicode,s CJK punctuation plane for JIS namidash, it is literal translation and it is in the right pane to be used vertically or horizontally...
2013-06-01 15245, 2013
jesus2099
The bad mapping to full width tilde was made mistook because of a wrong example picture provided by first Unicode documentation s, showing a namidash with waves inverted, looking like a tilde :/
2013-06-01 15231, 2013
jesus2099
The mistake was followed by Microsoft in its fonts and mapping but has been corrected in recent windows versions ( I can't swear as I only have old windows).
I should type the info I just told over and over, I should paste it over there instead of just linking to Wikipedia

Sorry I already told you that in another edit, but in Japanese because I confused you with another editor who is native Japanese (has same kind of user name, machigaeta something).
do you know what is the script using to recognize those?

flamingspinach: we don't have a policy, no. I personally just leave them alone and vote no if people try to change wave dashes into fullwidth tildes

i actually like jesus' idea about having "nightly" cron job to merge AC's
2013-06-01 15201, 2013

all these duplicate ac
2013-06-01 15204, 2013

sigh
2013-06-01 15217, 2013
CatQuest should just avoid VA for now
2013-06-01 15218, 2013
nikki
that just seems like a hack
2013-06-01 15227, 2013

we should fix whatever causes the duplicates in the first place

nikki: of course. but it's no use going "we should fix whatever causes the duplicates in the first place" and ignoring the proble for now
2013-06-01 15221, 2013
CatQuest
the cron job should just be for until we fix it proper, naturally
2013-06-01 15246, 2013
nikki
but with the cron job, there's no incentive to fix it
2013-06-01 15240, 2013
nikki
and it's not even a serious problem anyway, it's just a bit confusing for the people who manage to find that tab
2013-06-01 15255, 2013
CatQuest
its fucking serious ifyou look at various artists
2013-06-01 15255, 2013
nikki
(on an artist that has that problem)
2013-06-01 15255, 2013
nikki
I disagree.
2013-06-01 15204, 2013
CatQuest
as for no incentive. well it's not as if it's been fixed up to now anyway :C
2013-06-01 15237, 2013
CatQuest
well you obviusly don't edit those kind of cases at all nikki and that's fine, but for example VA has more duplicate identicals than not soon
2013-06-01 15202, 2013
nikki
the important thing is that the link in the artist credit is correct, which is it and that the credited text is correct, which it is
2013-06-01 15213, 2013
CatQuest
maybe its not "serious" on par with critical mailfunction and ise's surly, but it's stil la serious PITA to deal with
2013-06-01 15231, 2013
nikki
jeez
2013-06-01 15244, 2013
CatQuest
that's a completely different thing, afaik that was never a problem? whatever
2013-06-01 15245, 2013
nikki
I just looked at various artists, I was expecting like 200 of them or something
2013-06-01 15224, 2013
CatQuest
oh sorry that 5 or 6 identical AC's isn't a pain for you then nikki :<
2013-06-01 15237, 2013
nikki
I don't see why it's a pain. they're all sorted together
2013-06-01 15244, 2013
CatQuest
maybe you go fix some AC that's wrongly added in between while youre there!
2013-06-01 15237, 2013
culinko
for people who merge artists and/or edit VA releases, that is indeed an issue
2013-06-01 15249, 2013
culinko
and it's fucking annoying
2013-06-01 15226, 2013
reosarevok
Having a couple duplicate ACs?
2013-06-01 15223, 2013
reosarevok
The wrong ones like VA as X, sure, those are an issue, but havign 5 or 6 different Various Artists ACs that are all the same sounds like something that just looks a bit ugly :/

2013-06-01 15252, 2013

well i didn't necessarily mean VA as entity, more like featuring artists in AC
2013-06-01 15227, 2013
culinko
but there are few things more annoying than this
2013-06-01 15239, 2013

I mean, sure, there can be two different X feat. Y ACs

well you can't merge those ACs

reosarevok
Sure
2013-06-01 15213, 2013
reosarevok
But the only place you can even see there are two is the aliases tab
2013-06-01 15219, 2013

Or are we talking about different things?
2013-06-01 15238, 2013
