        of the two, I think "temporarily in read-only mode" is more clear

      • 2015-01-02 00221, 2015

      • JesseW
        It's: $("a[rel=xhv\\:last]:first") -- which I can't even parse, let alone figure out what it is supposed to select...

      • chirlu`
        JesseW: “a” selects all <a> elements. “[rel=xhv\:last]” restricts this set to those elements that have a “rel” attribute with value “xhv:last”; i.e. <a rel="xhv:last">. Finally, “:first” selects only the first of these.
      • 2015-01-02 00205, 2015

      • chirlu`
        The only complicated thing is the (double) escaping of “:”, so that it is not misinterpreted as start of a selector such as “:first”. “\:” is for jQuery, and “\\:” is in the JS code so that the string will contain “\:”.
      • 2015-01-02 00207, 2015

      • chirlu`
        I guess this rel="xhv:last" doesn’t exist anymore on MB pages since RDF got removed.

        hello y'all, i need some help w/ adding a classical release
      • 2015-01-02 00238, 2015

      • finalsummer
        first off: it has the numbers of the movements like 1. 2. 3., not I. II. III.
      • 2015-01-02 00204, 2015

      • finalsummer
        and then there's a track with two movements on the same track
      • 2015-01-02 00242, 2015

      • finalsummer
        what should i put in the track title?
      • 2015-01-02 00249, 2015

      • reosarevok
        That's fine, current guidelines don't force I. :)
      • 2015-01-02 00259, 2015

      • reosarevok
        So put 1. if that's what's there (or nothing, when there's nothing)
      • 2015-01-02 00222, 2015

      • reosarevok
        Two movements... I'd just do n. X / n+1. Y
      • 2015-01-02 00226, 2015

      • finalsummer
        aight, that's what's written in the booklet
      • 2015-01-02 00234, 2015

      • finalsummer
        so 5. / 6.?
      • 2015-01-02 00220, 2015

      • reosarevok
        Yup!
      • 2015-01-02 00251, 2015

      • finalsummer
        it's also not a western classical work, but a contempoary japanese work for a koto quartet. do any specific guidlines apply or something?

      • reosarevok
        finalsummer: none that I know - if it feels classical enough, just follow CSG
      • 2015-01-02 00249, 2015

      • reosarevok
        KRSCuan: just commented on it
      • 2015-01-02 00216, 2015

      • reosarevok
        Basically, simplify pseudos in the DB to the required and useful components
      • 2015-01-02 00230, 2015

      • reosarevok
        Which makes it easier for editors of those artists
      • 2015-01-02 00214, 2015

      • KRSCuan
        The removal part is not constructive though.
      • 2015-01-02 00219, 2015

      • KRSCuan
        Quite the opposite. ;)
      • 2015-01-02 00224, 2015

      • reosarevok
        For cover art, Picard can use the RG image

        Other things - well, if someone actually cares, I expect they'll figure out how to follow the rel :)
      • 2015-01-02 00206, 2015

      • reosarevok
        I'd like to wait until that happens, but I've been doing that for about a year now and it hasn't happened, so
      • 2015-01-02 00244, 2015

      • KRSCuan
        I don't think we'll never follow the rels.
      • 2015-01-02 00220, 2015

      • reosarevok
        And yes, it is - people working with, say, Japanese label X don't want all the fake releases on the way, for example (yindesu mentioned the issue a few times, I assume that's why he voted for the ticket too)
      • 2015-01-02 00238, 2015

      • KRSCuan
        We'd get rid of pseudos sooner than that. (hopefully in a way that doesn't break things for people who want transl(iteration))
      • 2015-01-02 00214, 2015

      • reosarevok
        Plus it makes it easier to just reuse the same pseudos for multiple releases of the same tracklist (digital vs. CD or whatever) since the actual relevant info is the same
      • 2015-01-02 00229, 2015

      • reosarevok
        Getting rid of pseudos is pretty fucking hard, sadly
      • 2015-01-02 00204, 2015

      • reosarevok
        Since it requires to have not only alternate tracklists, also alternate title and release artist for example
      • 2015-01-02 00211, 2015

      • reosarevok
        So it's not just "implement alternate tracklists"
      • 2015-01-02 00243, 2015

      • reosarevok
        Several people have given it quite a bit of thought and haven't reached any particularly decent options AFAIK
      • 2015-01-02 00205, 2015

      • reosarevok
        I'm pretty sure there's no interest on breaking anything for people who want the stuff. As you'll see, it's easy to go from pseudo to original on the site. Yes, we do need Picard to catch up, but they've caught up to a lot of things when they had to
      • 2015-01-02 00217, 2015

      • KRSCuan
        It will require substantial schema changes, yeah.
      • 2015-01-02 00220, 2015

      • reosarevok
        (not so many when it was just "kinda nice" though)
      • 2015-01-02 00206, 2015

      • reosarevok
        So given the DB is the main product, and we have a way to use the data for external stuff that only needs to get actually used, it seems fairly reasonable to me to prioritise DB concerns over Picard ones
      • 2015-01-02 00221, 2015

      • finalsummer
      • 2015-01-02 00223, 2015

      • KRSCuan
        But regarding that guideline, I'd prefer it if it didn't tell people to flat-out delete info that can't simply be retrieved from other releases.
      • 2015-01-02 00235, 2015

      • KRSCuan
        And make other stuff optional.
      • 2015-01-02 00201, 2015

      • KRSCuan
        I don't really buy the clogging up label pages thing.
      • 2015-01-02 00219, 2015

      • KRSCuan
        They'd appear next to each other if given the same dates and cat#s.
      • 2015-01-02 00236, 2015

      • reosarevok
        I will let the Picard devs know the change is happening, anyway, and maybe that will make them look at it
      • 2015-01-02 00253, 2015

      • reosarevok
        Yes, they would. So, double the amount of releases, half of them mostly irrelevant
      • 2015-01-02 00212, 2015

      • reosarevok
        But for me at least the main case is the fact that the more info they have, the least well they do their actual work
      • 2015-01-02 00239, 2015

      • reosarevok
        If you have a catno, suddenly that's no longer both the digital and the CD, or the digipack and the jewel case
      • 2015-01-02 00259, 2015

      • reosarevok
        (which are absolutely equal for what we care about here, the transl(iter)ation
      • 2015-01-02 00200, 2015

      • reosarevok
        )
      • 2015-01-02 00224, 2015

      • reosarevok
        And then you have two pseudos doing the work of one, or three, or n.
