so i noticed, when using the lookup feature, that music brainz will take an album with say.. 2 tracks that feature two seperate other artists and create 3 folder directories, for what is actually one album. is there any way at all to fix this?

pankkake: Feel free to raise a discussion somewhere about reverting parts of this. 9 members of the community thinks this is the right path to take. Development decisions has been taken with less people behind it before.

As an example, 0.78% of add relationship edits have been either cancelled or voted down, whereas over 20,000 of the current open edits are add relationship, severely adding to the voting burden.

people who don't edit the database are not part of the community

this includes "add label", "add release"
2015-11-01 30525, 2015

Add label is probably going to become "add relationship" in the middle term

pankkake: I think that's a really odd definition of "being in the community"
2015-11-01 30546, 2015
LordSputnik
But there's nothing to say that this decision is final - if we find that the quality of the database is severaly adversely affected, there's nothin preventing reverting the change
2015-11-01 30556, 2015
LordSputnik
It's just what seems like the correct decision at this time
2015-11-01 30511, 2015
Freso
As I said, feel free to raise discussion on reverting this or parts of it.
2015-11-01 30511, 2015
LordSputnik
We did expect you to be against the change, and we considered your views when we were making the decision - but there's no way that everyone can be happy all of the time

Ooh, more auto-edits? I can get behind that. Though labels are often enough screwed up that I'm not 100% sure that's a good idea.

CallerNo6: yes and no. I think the current interface for adding labels is good, but storing them as rels makes sense.
2015-11-01 30544, 2015

Also I think we should have better guidelines and/or label filtering before label adds are auto-edit, but eh no big deal.

hawke, that's the hope: store as rels, edit as we do now.

hawke: the auto-edit thing is basically because since it's both auto-edit to add and remove, people who care (and subscribe to labels) can still just remove the ones that they feel are wrong

hawke: what I was thinking is this: if labels are rels, then we can be more descriptive, instead of simply saying "these are the release labels".
2015-11-01 30554, 2015
reosarevok
Only difference would be that newbies adding releases don't get No-voted :p
2015-11-01 30508, 2015
reosarevok
The idea is that we can have a generic "this is an involved label"
2015-11-01 30518, 2015
reosarevok
Which is probably enough for the average user
2015-11-01 30536, 2015

But more expert users can move them into the specialised relationships if they want

("I happen to know this is the distributor here, specifically" or the like)

exactly. I might word it as "these imprints are displayed on the release" or something.

i would suggest that if add releases are autoedits, that we bring back the possible duplicates warning (like if the UPC matches that of an existing release)

Well, the point is that we shouldn't be rejecting duplicates now in the first place
2015-11-01 30522, 2015
reosarevok
We should be merging them
2015-11-01 30534, 2015

That said, I do agree that we could have a warning for stuff like that
2015-11-01 30541, 2015
reosarevok
Is there a ticket? If not throw one in
2015-11-01 30531, 2015

it would just be a checkbox warning, like we had before
