hibiscuskazeneko: thats so incredibly stupid

(the edit)

I know. It's not the first time I've seen an editor try to conform our data to that site's specifications.

wow

That's absurd. I think I'll write to the site and ask them why would they only accept CD in the first place, though

(because *that* is also quite absurd)

Heh

Their official guide suggests Digital is fine, so I think the user might just be wrong

Oh! The reason it wasn't accepting that specific release is that it specifically blocks bootlegs

And promos

as we learned in https://musicbrainz.org/edit/35253226

This is a WIP; I'm trying to work out the details http://tickets.musicbrainz.org/browse/MBS-9111

could I get some votes for this merge? https://beta.musicbrainz.org/edit/41499650

huh, SensCritique is weird

and even more weirdly, that user doesn't seem to see the beauty of flawless data o_O

He/she/they's not the only one

There have been other editors (who came over from there) who did the same things

I just got done about an hour ago cleaning up the damage one user left

Is the MB Sandbox still operational? Or did it die with whatever server it was hosted on?

don't think it's there anymore. is part of the reason why I set up my own dev server in a vm (the other part being messing about with the code :))

hibiscuskazeneko: The sandbox has been dead for quite some time now. :( I think it might have been on the same server as the old forums, maybe.

Looks like it

blergh. forgot that even with 3 votes, merges don't just get applied. guess i have to wait 6 days before I can properly tag my files

Once you have 3 concurrent votes, the edit will apply within 24 hours.

ah ok, not 6 days then

It needs to be open for 48 h minimum I think? But after that it just applies

Or something like that
