Yurim: message the editor portik, he might be able and willing to help :)

Hello everyone

I'm a bit new to the site, and I'm trying to work out how to add a new collection of songs for the artist Marcus Warner.

The issue is that the artist released almost all of his songs as singles, with little to no album organization, and I was sondering how best to represent this?

*wondering

you could add them all as separate releases, and those releases would be marked as singles

That's what I was thinking, I was just a little confused as to why it still requested a tracklist when I marked the release as a single.

As you can tell, I'm rather new...

jjyy97: A single can have more than one track,

jjyy97: E.g., https://musicbrainz.org/release/5830f07e-3f76-4...

jjyy97: Are you taking the single from iTunes or some other source?

*singles

A Bandcamp page, mostly.

Ah. Hold on. ;)

jjyy97: Are you familiar with userscripts?

Not in this context.

But are you familiar with what they are, how to install them, etc.?

Yeah.

Cool.

Awesome! Thanks.

Click the "Raw" button and your userscript extension/thingy should pick it up.

:)

It doesn't transfer the cover art image automatically, and you may want to check the links its attaching.

(It looks like the behaviour I added for that doesn't quite work as I expected, and I haven't gotten around to checking up on it again yet.)

Alright.

-.-

I wanted to send them to https://wiki.musicbrainz.org/External_Resources... :|

but OpenUserJS works fine, now that jesus has all the scripts there

JonnyJD_: by-sites on greaysfork : it’s a (very recent) regression !

jesus2099__: not sure if that is a software regression or the site got popular and now has many * include scripts

did you open a report?

no no, i was only seeing mb scripts in that

and only 1 or 2 scripts in mbsandboxes.org

https://greasyfork.org/scripts/by-site/mbsandbo... now they are all the same

the other script writers have not used the new sites though… all non-jesus scripts are lost since uso is dead

“lost”

 :/

JonnyJD_: the /by-sites/ is pure PERFECT anyway (it should work again soon

a manually managed list is NG imo

any autoeditors around that can approve my edits on http://musicbrainz.org/release/d570b9e0-a62b-46... ? I want to merge this with another release.

well, it is a nice feature, but it should exclude * scripts

it’s broken since yesterday or so

probably https://github.com/JasonBarnabe/greasyfork/comm...

it is not including * of course ! :)

it was+will not

KillDaBOB: approved the one needed for the merge (the new track add)

thank you very much

Note that you don't need parentheses in disambiguation, the field has them already, so that edit would make it ((Deluxe Edition))

d’oh.

I'd actually make it "deluxe edition" in lowercase, also, since it's more a qualifier than a title (as made obvious by you removing it from the title :p)

ETI

Anyway, any other edits there shouldn't block a merge :)

if i kill Edit #28508991 then it should take care of the disambig with the merge (the release it’s being merged into already has a disambig)

so.. i’ll do that. :P

JonnyJD_: i have created a script set on graseyfock, i don’t know how to klink it though — what do you see over there ? https://greasyfork.org/users/2206-jesus2099

Oh ! i found the BUTTON ! https://greasyfork.org/scripts?set=9

it automatically contains all scruipts for musicbrainz.org and for mbsandbox.org, do you see any other stuff to include ?

JonnyJD_: ↗

jesus2099: nope

cool, then… don’t know if we should put that link on that External resources wiki page…

how did you do that it doesn't include `include *` scripts?

and it’s a pity noone else has moved their scripts yet as far as i know

it’s a script set, it’s a special new feature you showed me… you can construct it the way you want

so you can just remove *

i included musicbrainz.org and mbsandbox.org, and hopefully it didn’t take the same algorythm as the searc hpage

i didn’t have to exclude *

hm, interesting. So that commit didn't affect that.

Yes, link that in the wiki

but i can also exclude * the day the algorythm becomes more borad

EXTERNAL RESOURCES wiki page is orphan

its exterbal DB section seems redundant woth OTHER DB page, no ?

no clue, except that the wiki needs cleanup due to multiple things

greasyfork doesn't have rating/voting except for download numbers, right?

JonnyJD_: seems so :)

oujs has ? btw the drawabcks i know for oujs and gf are

oujs : musicbrainz group is MANUALLY edited (not up to date)

gf : replaces downloadURL and updateURL by its own (which is cons if its update fails but pro as it prevents github to be too heavily loaded by update requests)

JonnyJD_: the rating of oujs scripts is the amount of favourites ?

oujs does not show version history as gf does… those two sites should really merge ! :)

jesus (for later) the rating is the average rating of the scripts in the group I think. And the "rating" of a script is actually the number of upvotes for that script.

and I can't favorite scripts for some reason

anyways, you can vote/rate for MB scripts, pushing the musicbrainz group from page 2 to page 1 (in the list of groups): https://openuserjs.org/group/musicbrainz

notice also that new version of tampermonkey supports https://monkeyguts.com/

i don't know if this will be the reference website in the future

xram_: I have seen this website. I have not added it to the list because it is beta, not open-source and the UI/features don't seem as good

like there is no grouping of scrips available, probably also no github (or similar) integration

why would tampermonkey need to "support" any repository anyways. Everything is done in web frontends anyways?

no possibility to use OAuth, the only thing that is good on monkeyguts is the rating, which is a real rating (opposed to the voting system called rating in OUJS)

I agree with you

Was just outlining this, quoting TM : 'Recognize and outline scripts installed from MonkeyGuts'

something not the best featured website wins the competition too

well they also seem to support openuserjs anyway

puh

it looks like greasyfork is winning this currently

but it is close call currently.

Oooh, it's the Userscripts World Cup!

:p
