      • kepstin-laptop
        that streaming music one should probably have the text updated to explicitly forbid using the 'video' attribute on artist-url links then
      • nikki
        i.e. where the artist has a channel but it's not music, just the artist doing whatever
      • kepstin-laptop
        nikki: I suppose I would
      • reosarevok
        Can't we just deactivate the attribute for the artist-URL version?
      • kepstin-laptop
        the current decription wording seems to imply that the artist-url version wasn't supposed to get the video option in the first place.
      • well, in that case I don't see anything I want to change on my video channel AR, so I'll just send the RFV right away.
      • nikki
        reosarevok: we'd need to make sure it's not being used first
      • reosarevok_ joined the channel
      • reosarevok_
        nikki: can you do that? :)
      • I'm sure it will be in use, but hopefully not a lot
      • kepstin-laptop gives up on rfc numbers
      • So did we!
      • reosarevok
        hah, again? :D
      • Why can't the YouTube one be merged?
      • (after bot-ily moving all cases to the new one)
      • ruaok joined the channel
      • CallerNo6
        am I understanding this right? pages under /wiki are automatically transcluded but other namespaces/categories are not?
      • nikki
        we exclude user: and category: (and possibly some others)
      • but all the rest automatically show up
      • kepstin-laptop
        huh, did that big massive list of proposals page get removed from the wiki now?
      • or did I just forget where to find it?
      • reosarevok
        kepstin-laptop should read the blog
      • :p
      • It's in History:
      • Actually, I also sent it to the ML
      • CallerNo6
        nikki, thanks. I was looking at it from the perspective of allowing a "be bold" wiki without having everything whimsical thingy showing up in wikidocs.
      • er, "every whimsical thingy"
      • kepstin-laptop
        man, having an rfc that's spanning this change is confusing
      • do I need a jira ticket now?
      • reosarevok
        nah
      • Let's just finish the old ones the old way
      • CallerNo6
        now there's a fun CotM

        CallerNo6: don't worry about that, it's not like people are being very bold about it right now :P
      • reosarevok
        Except some occasional spammer
      • nikki
        if you do edit a page that's in the transclusion table (i.e. stuff that doesn't automatically update), just ask me or reosarevok to look at it
      • CallerNo6 is thinking of his own (sporadic) wiki editing
      • CallerNo6
        but yeah, I'll just ask for now

        great, http://musicbrainz.org/release/0e834c72-21ac-48... has half of its tracks merged with each other because they were the same name and duration (but mono and stereo mix)
      • how can I move the recordings to fill the ISRCs ?
      • reosarevok
        In the Recordings tab of the editor
      • Just change one set to "Add new recording"
      • hawke_1 joined the channel
      • Sekhmetouserapis
        as simply as that ? I thought i'd have more work to do ^^
      • reosarevok
        Should be
      • If the recordings are already in more releases, or have ISRCs already, of course make sure you keep them for the right thing
      • :)
      • Sekhmetouserapis
        sure, thanks

      • reosarevok: can you please tweet this link?
      • reosarevok
        Sure
      • ruaok
        thx
      • reosarevok
        If this doesn't become one of our most RTd tweets, it'll be silly
      • nikki
        CallerNo6: carefully selected external links? you do know what a minefield that is, right? :P

        _5moufl: did you select an artist in Add Missing Entities?
      • (even if it was an existing one)
      • _5moufl
        yes
      • reosarevok
        That might be it
      • _5moufl
        I don't know why I add to
      • had*
      • Is it ok or not like I show?
      • reosarevok
        It should be OK
      • I've entered a few like that, worked well
      • Now, why it happens? Not sure
      • _5moufl
        did you report that bug we talked about the other day (if you remember what i'm talking about?
      • reosarevok
        I can't remember TBH
      • Feel free to do so and if I did nikki will find out
      • But I doubt it
      • reosarevok tries to do too many things at the same time
      • _5moufl
        Are accounts different between mb and the bug tracker ?
      • reosarevok
        Yes :(
      • _5moufl
        err
      • reosarevok
        Single log in is supposed to get worked on during this year I think
      • But not done yet
      • _5moufl
        nikki: Do you know if a report has been made about release editing: Changes made on the recordings tab are lost when you get to the edit note tab?
      • is it possible to get a new username on mb?
      • nikki
        you can bribe ruaok with non-american chocolate
      • _5moufl
        I mean change your username
      • ruaok nods
      • hawke_1
        ruaok: Not a fan of cardboard?
      • ruaok
        or wax.
      • hawke_1
        Not even mixed together?
      • reosarevok
        What brands of chocolate are USonian?
      • reosarevok wonders if we get any in EU
      • Mineo
        from what my american relatives take with them when they visit, american chocolate can't be good :P
      • ruaok
        Mineo: it is no good.
      • reosarevok: 'merican love Hershey's chocolate.
      • _5moufl
        how is that?
      • ruaok
        its wax with some brown stuff in it.
      • nasty.
      • Mineo
        yikes
      • VxJasonxV
        derwin, I tried out beets. It duplicated my library, I killed beets :(.
      • nikki
        Mineo: it really is icky, and my standards are pretty low
      • _5moufl
        You don't have that legislation like us about chocoloate needing to have more than n % of cocoa butter ?
      • derwin
        VxJasonxV: you had "copy" set on import
      • hawke_1
        _5moufl: There is some, but they keep lowering it or the mfgs call it “chocolate food” or “chocolate flavored” or something
      • derwin
        ?
      • VxJasonxV
        yes, I did. Because it only warned me about updating tags automatically, it said nothing in the quick start about not copying it.
      • derwin
        yeah, that's sorta non-obvious
      • VxJasonxV
        exactly
      • derwin
        sampsyo really likes feedback that helps him improve docs
      • esp. for new users, and is in #beets 24/7
      • VxJasonxV
        plus, as iTunes update file paths/filenames, beets will become increasingly worthless.
      • And that keeps happening as I listen to more music, since picard/mutagen dumped all over my tags.
      • derwin
        I don't understand the interaction with those etc
      • VxJasonxV
        Picard?
      • Picard severly corrupted my AAC tags. notably total number of discs, and album titles. oddly, not artist/song title.
      • Somebody mentioned it uses mutagen, if it doesn't, then mutagen is irrelevant.
      • but whatever picard uses for AAC tagging has some nasty nasty bugs, and I'm very irked as a result.
      • Which is why I Asked for a 0.16.1, beta or not. Just something to fix the mess it created.
      • CallerNo6
        nikki: surely as sober and august body of deliberators such as the Style Council can agree on a short list of sites, e.g. official home page, band-created social media pages...
      • reosarevok keeps thinking all that is UI and thus not style
      • nikki wonders what CallerNo6 has been smoking :P
      • CallerNo6 would like to see an official governance structure :-)
      • CallerNo6 has been smoking USonian chocolate: http://www.scharffenberger.com/
      • reosarevok
        Are you now conducting classical music?
      • CallerNo6
        an actual out-loud laughing
      • reosarevok
        Also, that chocolate doesn't look that bad. Is it just for advertising purposes or is it actually decent?
      • nikkimini joined the channel
      • kepstin-laptop joined the channel
      • nikki
        looks expensive
      • reosarevok
        Well, if it's decent chocolate in the US, it must be
      • nikki
        $6 for 85g? x_X
      • CallerNo6
        nikki, we prefer the term "artisanal" :-P
      • reosarevok prefers the term "move to Europe"
      • CallerNo6 is moving 70 meters south-east, and it's nearly killed him
      • reosarevok
        That's because it is not Europe
      • Clearly
      • nikki
        so about €5.25 for 100g... I could buy just about anything from the supermarket for that price
      • reosarevok
        Well, somewhat decent chocolate is probably the US equivalent of our delicatessen-ish chocolate
      • warp
        nikki: duckduckgo!
      • CallerNo6
        From a [Europe]an perspective, do we do /anything/ well? I'm told the avacados are pretty good (in California) but I have nothing to compare to.
