hi folks, Popular a decade ago (in the UK at least) were CD singles that had 2 releases, with different tracks, remixes, etc. Is there official style guidelines for entering release titles for these. Obviously in teh same single release group should have say (CD1) and (Cd2) on them. Or nothing at all if nothing is on teh cover.

I have seen different ways of doing this thus looking for guidelines.

Rovastar: this has been discussed various times in the past on the style mailinglist. I think it's OK to put them in the same release group, and probably in most cases the CD1 or CD2 should be in the disambiguation comment field, not the release title.

1, when a song has X feat. Y, and Y is a member of a band that's already in MusicBrainz, do I credit the band or make a new page for the individual?
2014-11-04 30857, 2014

feat is a little complicated

Yeah I gather
2014-11-04 30816, 2014

Is there some easy way to add them all?
2014-11-04 30836, 2014

I'd think MB would auto-generate or something, but I can't put in the edit without crediting something in the MB database

when you're selecting an artist, there's an option at the bottom of the popup for creating an artist

check some of the existing artists first though, if you select one the preview turns into a link to their page

derwin: The "as_auto_editor" was the tick box previously used for AEs to not use their "powers" on a given (set of) edit(s). However, with yesterday's release, that tick box's been replaced, so userscripts refering this need to be updated.

might be harder to tell if you aren't familliar with japanese scripts. but if you look closely to many times does the same kanji repeat (plus there aren't nearly enough kana - japanese doesn't have that much kanji blocked together)

apart from the usual message: Entering an edit note that describes where you got your information is highly recommended. Not only does it make it clear where you got your information, but it can also encourage other users to vote on your edit — thus making your edit get applied faster.
