        CatQuest: I have a first draft of a "batch-add artist aliases" script (https://bitbucket.org/loujine/musicbrainz-scripts…)
      • 2017-03-08 06744, 2017

      • CatQuest
        :O
      • 2017-03-08 06745, 2017

      • loujine
        if you have time to take a look at one moment...
      • 2017-03-08 06757, 2017

      • CatQuest
        i will, just a sec
      • 2017-03-08 06714, 2017

      • loujine
        sure
      • 2017-03-08 06705, 2017

      • loujine
        artist name and sort name to set by hand, short dropdowns for type and locale, no way to set dates or other fields for the moment
      • 2017-03-08 06759, 2017

      • CatQuest
        where do I got to see it? mb.org/blup/aliases?
      • 2017-03-08 06735, 2017

      • loujine
        yup
      • 2017-03-08 06753, 2017

      • CatQuest
      • 2017-03-08 06704, 2017

      • loujine
        artists only, but I guess it would work the same elsewhere (works?)
      • 2017-03-08 06718, 2017

      • CatQuest
        basically i nead it the most for instruments
      • 2017-03-08 06726, 2017

      • CatQuest
        artists not as much
      • 2017-03-08 06716, 2017

      • loujine
        can you fix the "@include" line to http*://*musicbrainz.org/*/*/aliases ?
      • 2017-03-08 06724, 2017

      • loujine
        seems to work
      • 2017-03-08 06724, 2017

      • CatQuest
        yes i cna do that
      • 2017-03-08 06734, 2017

      • loujine
        I guess editing instruments is restricted to a few powerusers?
      • 2017-03-08 06748, 2017

      • CatQuest
        ah yea
      • 2017-03-08 06709, 2017

      • CatQuest
        it's my only claim to fame, i'm the "instrument Inserter" :P
      • 2017-03-08 06725, 2017

      • CatQuest
        hmm how hard would it be to make the "edit" link into a editable row ?
      • 2017-03-08 06745, 2017

      • CatQuest
        might be issue with the parts that can't be edited yet
      • 2017-03-08 06728, 2017

      • CatQuest
        it works!
      • 2017-03-08 06729, 2017

      • CatQuest
      • 2017-03-08 06711, 2017

      • loujine
        cool :)
      • 2017-03-08 06725, 2017

      • CatQuest
        some imporovements: let me be able to add severla rows at once, say five, and make one large submitting all alaises thing, so i don't have to clci kthme all maybe?
      • 2017-03-08 06730, 2017

      • CatQuest
        but in all: omg so awesome!
      • 2017-03-08 06735, 2017

      • loujine
        editable rows can probably be done, I did more or less the same on works
      • 2017-03-08 06707, 2017

      • loujine
        sure, "submit all rows at once" should be easy to add
      • 2017-03-08 06714, 2017

      • CatQuest
        the not having ot reload a loads of pages alone is a fantastic help
      • 2017-03-08 06726, 2017

      • loujine
        if that's your use case I'll try to add it soon
      • 2017-03-08 06733, 2017

      • CatQuest
        yes
      • 2017-03-08 06754, 2017

      • loujine
        keep a close eye on what the script does though, it's probably not totally reliable
      • 2017-03-08 06718, 2017

      • CatQuest
        i hall. luckily laises are pretty easy fixable if there is mess. sicne the removal is also an autoedit
      • 2017-03-08 06726, 2017

      • CatQuest
        uff my spelling
      • 2017-03-08 06743, 2017

      • CatQuest
        i shall. luckily aliases are pretty easy fixable if there is mess. since the removal is also an autoedit
      • 2017-03-08 06753, 2017

      • loujine
        sure
      • 2017-03-08 06709, 2017

      • loujine
        are there "alias types" for instruments too?
      • 2017-03-08 06717, 2017

      • CatQuest
        oh my god yo uhave no idea how much evne just this first thing helps me!
      • 2017-03-08 06724, 2017

      • CatQuest
        there is!
      • 2017-03-08 06732, 2017

      • CatQuest
        ah yo uahve selected the ones for artist: let me give you for instruments: "Instrument name" and "Search hint"
      • 2017-03-08 06719, 2017

      • CatQuest
        so if there is anywhere you can fetch this data instead of hard coding..
      • 2017-03-08 06749, 2017

      • CatQuest
        hmm I wonder if I can ask the boss admin guys if you can have the special power jsut al ittel bit whiel you work on the code?
      • 2017-03-08 06757, 2017

      • loujine
        so that probably doesn't work (since the POST request will send "1" or "2")
      • 2017-03-08 06724, 2017

      • CatQuest
        (with the understanding that it's not to be for using but for coding a script)
      • 2017-03-08 06729, 2017

      • CatQuest
        hmm
      • 2017-03-08 06733, 2017

      • CatQuest
        let me test it
      • 2017-03-08 06736, 2017

      • loujine
        or I'll test on my local db, I guess I can give myself superpowers on that one
      • 2017-03-08 06744, 2017

      • CatQuest
        ah, even better
      • 2017-03-08 06747, 2017

      • CatQuest
        ah, the type works actually. i selcted "artist name" and it submitted as "instrument name" it must be "1" there as well
      • 2017-03-08 06749, 2017

      • loujine
        for the moment, choosing the first/second options in the dropdown should send the correct "instrument name"/"search hint" even if the label is wrong ("artist name"/"legal name")
      • 2017-03-08 06757, 2017

      • loujine
        yes
      • 2017-03-08 06713, 2017

      • loujine
        third option should make the edit fail
      • 2017-03-08 06727, 2017

      • loujine
        (which should be shown by the script)
      • 2017-03-08 06736, 2017

      • CatQuest
        no, i get Success (code 200)
      • 2017-03-08 06738, 2017

      • CatQuest
        :O
      • 2017-03-08 06755, 2017

      • loujine
        by passing the third option?
      • 2017-03-08 06759, 2017

      • CatQuest
        yes
      • 2017-03-08 06713, 2017

      • loujine
        I'll test if I can
      • 2017-03-08 06726, 2017

      • loujine
        no idea what was sent :/
      • 2017-03-08 06753, 2017

      • loujine
        if you think about something else and have a bitbucket account just drop a note on https://bitbucket.org/loujine/musicbrainz-scripts…
      • 2017-03-08 06701, 2017

      • loujine
        I'm off to bed
      • 2017-03-08 06714, 2017

      • CatQuest
        hah, it shows "Sucsess (code 200)" but it doesn't actually submit: https://beta.musicbrainz.org/instrument/bc026c3e-… (i entered a "3" with the third option)
      • 2017-03-08 06745, 2017

      • CatQuest
        al loujine I am not able to create an account on britbucket, :/ i tried for almost an hor last time ://

      • CatQuest
        ah loujine I am not able to create an account on bitbucket, :/ i tried for almost an hour last time ://
      • 2017-03-08 06752, 2017

      • loujine
        just leave me a message here then
      • 2017-03-08 06702, 2017

      • CatQuest
        wait, now it let me do it after all. wtf
      • 2017-03-08 06705, 2017

      • CatQuest
        ok
      • 2017-03-08 06744, 2017

      • loujine
        I don't remember if POSTing incorrect forms fail or just validate bogus data, I'll have to check
      • 2017-03-08 06704, 2017

      • loujine
        probably the second one (I messed up a certain number of Work language attributes that way)
      • 2017-03-08 06727, 2017

      • loujine
        I'll have to take a look at instruments editing anyway
      • 2017-03-08 06732, 2017

      • loujine
        have a good night
      • 2017-03-08 06733, 2017

      • CatQuest
        yes. please
      • 2017-03-08 06743, 2017

      • CatQuest
        have a very good night, and thank you
      • 2017-03-08 06748, 2017

      • loujine
        no problem
      • 2017-03-08 06749, 2017

      • CatQuest
        thank you so, so much
      • 2017-03-08 06717, 2017

      • CatQuest
        oh, also would you mind just posting a slight blurb to https://community.metabrainz.org/t/instrument-ali… ? then if anyone in the future looks for it there is a link (or something)

        you completely thought differently that my initial ideas maybe. but that's totally awesome still. I really like the not having to go to another page
      • 2017-03-08 06729, 2017

      • CatQuest
        also this for editing aliases too
      • 2017-03-08 06746, 2017

      • CatQuest
        (but maybe not post everywher until a bit more stable etc)

        That's the equivalent of "bonus track"
      • 2017-03-08 06733, 2017

      • darwin
        yeah, I agree, it's just kinda rare to see it on vinyl

      • 2017-03-08 06701, 2017

      • hibiscuskazeneko
        Mostly older ones (from when the CD was still a new medium)
      • 2017-03-08 06736, 2017

      • hibiscuskazeneko
        Now that vinyl is coming back and considered a niche collector's medium (as CDs once were), these bonus tracks and such are becoming more common
