Hello, it's been a while when I add an artist from the release editor, it's quite CPU hungry and slow. Unsure this comes from my browser so I was thinking of a website update. Looks like a javascript issue. Any feedback on this?

also, I think this happens when adding a new artist (popup within release editor) but not when editing an existing artist

Rodrick: probably ask in #metabrainz where the devs hang out.

It seems like an artist has changed their name (their name was "fernando fernando" first when a certain bandcamp compilation album released, the bandcamp release has been edited to show "s0cky" now). How would I approach this namechange on musicbrainz?

ev
it depends if the artist has renamed themselves completely, or if it's just a one-off thing
2022-01-23 02358, 2022
ev
if the former, you could make a good argument to rename the artist proper, if they're releasing new material under that name from that point onwards etc

I think they've renamed themselves completely.
2022-01-23 02337, 2022
ev
what I would do is rename the artist on musicbrainz (You'll probably want to find some evidence other than the bandcamp e.g. a message from them or evidence from their personal website), then add a new release with the new name to make clear they've renamed their credit on past releases too
2022-01-23 02319, 2022
ev
but, it would depend on whether this is a new project so to speak, although it sounds like it's not

It's almost like their first name was a one-off thing for that bandcamp release, since I can't find any other releases (or an announcement of a name change for that matter) under that name
2022-01-23 02301, 2022
ev
i wouldn't take the bandcamp as gospel on this one, as it can change without anyone noticing - look on the web.archive.org or archive.is and see if there have bbeen changes (whether it's been archived is not guaranteed however)

Yeah, the name on the track was different a year ago.

If I google their previous name, all I get are results from that one bandcamp release, nothing else. Which leads me to believe that it was a one off thing and they decided to change their name.

ev
without knowing anything about this, I'd say you'd probably be quite reasonable to change it, albeit do show you've done a bit of due dilligence by writing a good edit note
