I assume the collapsable media on the new server broke things. :\

The set recording comments script is also broken at least interface-wise.

Not very surprising... that's why we really should have part of this stuff in the site proper
2015-02-11 04251, 2015

Haven't tried doing anything with it yet.

i didn’t know those Yahoo pipes thing, it’s super… you can make a custom RSS field out of anything !

with it i could build an RSS feed for a specific github issue

just in case you're thinking about subscribing to "your news feed" on githubs front page - don't do that, it will not include entries for things you're subscribed to under some circumstances

If I have an album which has a bunch of artists credited on the CD, but listening to some tracks I hear background vocals that are uncredited, what do it do?
2015-02-11 04231, 2015
alastairp
[unknown] performed background backing vocals?
2015-02-11 04224, 2015
reosarevok
Not technically wrong, at least
2015-02-11 04257, 2015
alastairp
yeah
2015-02-11 04205, 2015
alastairp
I was suggesting just leave it out
2015-02-11 04217, 2015
alastairp
but others wanted to add something
2015-02-11 04203, 2015
alastairp
it's useful for us because we can do queries like "what tracks have background vocals", which is an important question to ask in our research
2015-02-11 04234, 2015
reosarevok
Yeah, sure
2015-02-11 04242, 2015

2015-02-11 04252, 2015

I'm with reosarevok. It's better to have noted that someone, even if we don't know who, did background vocals, to not have it noted at all.
2015-02-11 04200, 2015
Freso
Exactly because it allows you to do queries like alastairp just described.
I suspect these were added back when AC were not possible

Nyanko-sensei: You could also just have edited the release. :)

Nyanko-sensei
I did
2015-02-11 04234, 2015

was told once to split the artists instead of destroying them by overriding the credit
2015-02-11 04252, 2015

Eh.
2015-02-11 04257, 2015

Nyanko-sensei
oh
2015-02-11 04221, 2015

A "split" is just a more cumbersome way of destroying the artist.
2015-02-11 04230, 2015
reosarevok
Yeah, only difference to a degree is it leaves a bit more obvious history
2015-02-11 04233, 2015
reosarevok
But that's about it
2015-02-11 04201, 2015

Psh. Who made you an auto-editor when you don't even know such things?

There was at some point something about (if one artist is not yet on the DB) editing the artist to one of the ones missing to "save the ID"
2015-02-11 04229, 2015
reosarevok
But I'm not sure I even agree since the ID was for a different entity anyway
2015-02-11 04237, 2015
Freso
Yeah.
2015-02-11 04241, 2015
Nyanko-sensei
that's what I was told
2015-02-11 04203, 2015
Freso
I used to do that, but then when looking at the artist history, it just felt dirty to me, so I stopped again.
2015-02-11 04229, 2015
Nyanko-sensei
for the "kyo & tetsu" credit I added both the artists. since there are many Kyo's in the DB
2015-02-11 04226, 2015
Nyanko-sensei
was hard to imagine that no one added the D'ERLANGER kyo considering how many time "la vie en rose" was covered and how iconic that song is
2015-02-11 04257, 2015
Nyanko-sensei
yet the covers are in the DB but the guy was not >_>

I find it's always better to add one artist (or any other entity) too many, than having to split one up later.

I wonder how hard I will get yelled at if I'll mark as omnibuses the compilations from japan that name themselves like that... though even in japan not everyone is not using "omnibus" for all the compilations
2015-02-11 04217, 2015

I see omnibus used a lot in the rock scene

CatQuest personally likes to use "split artist" because it also makes sure that straggeling tracks or recordings, and other artist credits? gets split up right too. too many times have i seen people just edited the release and then the "x & y" artist lingers in the dataase with nothing attached but a link or some random unattached recording or AR
2015-02-11 04206, 2015
CatQuest
of course. I'm also scaredot be accused of "circumventing" the voting process if I just (auto)edit the tracklist. i suppose I can non-auto things I think are questionable.. but in general I don't split up thins I didn't think where questionable so I am assuming it isn't and should just go through.. :/
