        ratings don't really take up a lot of space. (also somehow it's not-per-release or osmething?)

      • CatQuest
        imho it should be and RG should be an acumulation of the release ratings, but alas
      • 2020-12-29 36454, 2020

      • CatQuest
        it is the oposite
      • 2020-12-29 36458, 2020

        for reasons ™
      • 2020-12-29 36426, 2020

      • CatQuest
        but yes. there shoudl be a setting to hide ratings
      • 2020-12-29 36449, 2020

        and a setting to show ediing links above external lniks in the sidebar

      • 2020-12-29 36421, 2020

      • Lotheric
        I guess I'll have too because 2 releases would have the same barcode otherwise :O (CD, cassette, vinyl)

        <reosarevok> In my personal opinion, the oldest mbid rule is bullshit. Fair enough, and I generally agree, but it does come into play with other services (such as fanart.tv) that serve all their images based upon the MBID and don't do the redirection.

        It's not really our fault though - so if we can avoid that without creating more issues for our editors, great, otherwise, bad luck IMO

        annotation?
      • 2020-12-29 36438, 2020

      • CatQuest
        the bio should show up on artists and release groups when there is a wikidatalink and there is a linked wikipedia pge
      • 2020-12-29 36446, 2020

      • PelvicSorcery
        It's been some time since I did artist info but I recall being able to add a pic and a bio blurb.
      • 2020-12-29 36400, 2020

        I didn't have to do anything with wikipedia.

        @reosarevok I need some help for a classical release and you're probably the best person to ask. I want to insert a DG record of two works by Janáček, specifically "Sinfonietta" and "Taras Bulba" (https://www.prestomusic.com/classical/products/80…) The linked one is a digital media version of a 1971 print, but on MB there is only a 1993 record that groups another work, "Concertin

      • lorenzuru
        Since those two records groups different works (in a non-MB way) I have to create a new release group for the first one, right? And then during the creation select the recordings already in the db (since they match between those two records) if I'm correct.

      • 2020-12-29 36442, 2020

      • reosarevok
        It's better to ask here or on a separate thread on the forums - that one is ideally more general :)
      • 2020-12-29 36456, 2020

      • reosarevok
        But in general, IRC is for asking, so ask away
