#musicbrainz

one thing i'm noticing on that atribute page, mediums can have ar's to up to 9

I noticed earlier but i forgot to ask about it

CatQuest: how does https://wiki.musicbrainz.org/Instrument_List look?

The medium thing is a horrible hack

ikr?

(I skipped the assignee bit because it's in a secondary page they don't even need to touch)

But yeah, the medium thing was a hack to migrate pre-NGS stuff

Nothing on the vocals bit, no, that still needs me to talk it through with bitmap at some point when we both have time to think about it

ok :)

and yes: that looks alright

Yay

we should ask CallerNo6 whne he's on what he thinks to add do it, since he's good with that

maybe also SothoTalKer?

he had good input with Quesito yesterday :D

Sure, it's a wiki, anyone can improve it :)

yea, but i'm intentionally pinging thme all so that they'll see it ;)

It's clear enough now I think that it's ok to have it up, but nothing against improving it further

yep

thanks for clearing out the messed up formatting

np!

(I also wanted all that stuff in, since I can't really demand that peopel add tickets with "this and that type" if it doesnt even say anywhere waht logic i'm using :o)

oh, oh, but maybe the part about the components.. was that removed or do you feel it's non-important?

It's there!

:)

Between Summary and Description, like in Jira itself

oh ho?

I'm sorry i can't see any info about "component" on https://wiki.musicbrainz.org/Instrument_List

oh wait there it is

thnaks reosarevok

np :)

CatQuest: you mentioned me? <3

^^read up

:D

CatQuest some kind of wiki thing

best or worst rom-com idea I've heard all day

reosarevok: I'll take a look, but I'm pretty sure I already did it once

reosarevok CatQuest, maybe Instrument Tree should just be changed to a redirect to https://musicbrainz.org/doc/Instrument ? And that page could have a section on how to request adding new ones?

Freso: sure

I think /doc/Entity pages are kind of semi-official, so let's get reosarevok to sign-off too, just to be safe. :)

And then I'll merge the contents and make/fix redirects.

Freso: good enough for me

Alright then. 👍 :)

wait.. this mans some thing *I* basically wrote gets put (through a reosarevok-filter) into the official docs? :O

hvar det bra det som jeg skrev?

hmm. is there a list of all the instruments.. https://beta.musicbrainz.org/instrument/

like?

i miss a "browse" for some enteties actually

Yes, it's in the documentation menu

Hi :-) I'm about to fix a quite messed up CD of a small band, would somebody please vote for edit #43659988 so that I can edit on?

if you link it maybe?

Oh sorry, wait a second

:)

CatQuest: There was a GSoC... 2015? project that implemented a "browse" interface, but it never made it into MBS/master. :(

I think bitmap plans to brush it off and get it implemented.

right, for future reference l3u, it's good always to leave an edit note to explain/link sources for the change

Okay

Freso: :O that'd be so awesome

l3u: like, I don't know if you're changing this to "ep" becasue the band calls it a n ep or if you thikn it shoudl be for some oher reason :)

I simply chose the wrong release type, I added this one a second before, so I forgot to add a comment

ep is kinda "if it says so on the tin or if the band says it is"

aha!

But changes that are accepted automatically can't apparently be canceled

that's a good edit note

Otherwise, I would have deleted it and re-entered it correctly again

don't cancel your addition of the release, just edit it! :)

mb doesn't require everything ot be "perfect first time"

our philosophy is "some data is better than no data" and "no data is better thna wrong data" and "this is supposed ot be fun"

did i get that right CallerNo6 ?

except for typoes ¬¬

ugh

You got it right ;)

ah l3u ha been her for 7 years already :O

:D

But without too much editing

yes, but that's ok

Oh. One of the rules is that you should do too much editing.

CallerNo6: but this is supposed to be fun!

Not *too much* fun though!

Well, maybe.

right.. if I wanted to do a search for instruments that had a description or disambiguation or tag with the word "hybrid" what would i do?

CatQuest: So we now have 3 "yes" votes for https://musicbrainz.org/edit/43659988 , I thought this would be enough to apply it?

it will on he hour as that's whne modbot runs to aply thee things

these*

Ah okay

It's really a long time since I was active on musicbrainz for the last time ;-)

how long? :)

and welcome back :D

A few years

Like since 2008 or so ;-)

ah. soo much has changed!

welcome back !

:-)

reosarevok: I fixed the Concerto attributes

aww, look at this guy https://upload.wikimedia.org/wikipedia/en/2/23/... he invented that instrument. he looks so proud like he's holding his baby :D

it's interesting, he named it cümbüş it means reverly or fun, so when all families had to take surnames in 1934, he took the name *from* he instrument (as opposed to giving the isntrument his name)

When there a two releases of the same band in the same year, but only the release year and the order is known (no month), how can I add the right order?

CatQuest, Freso, zas: Would you be so kind and also vote for https://musicbrainz.org/edit/43661801 , this is the unification of the release group I just added. The comment translates to "This is how it's written on the original CD".

:)
