elomatreb[m] How would you merge them so that you don't mess up the existing correct entries? And Frog Leap shouldn't have any album entries.

PelvicSorcery: Since the track order matches, a straightforward release merge with the "merge mediums and recordings" strategy should be fine

hrm, I forget, if a single track is released on bandcamp with a /track/ url, should that be a "standalone recording" ? I think so.
2022-11-14 31811, 2022
elomatreb[m]
Plus the release group

elomatreb[m]
derwin: If it has a cover I would say no
2022-11-14 31845, 2022
PelvicSorcery
How does that handle the mispellings and artist?
2022-11-14 31813, 2022
elomatreb[m]
It will use the names and artist credits from the merge target (i.e. the correct release)
2022-11-14 31835, 2022
derwin
elomatreb[m]: hrm.
2022-11-14 31842, 2022
derwin
I mean, everything on Bandcamp has a "cover" ?
2022-11-14 31815, 2022
PelvicSorcery
I merge the bad version into the correct version?
2022-11-14 31857, 2022
elomatreb[m]
A "serious" cover I guess? As in, determine if it's artist intent to publish a single
2022-11-14 31803, 2022
elomatreb[m]
PelvicSorcery: yes

NM, it was hiding at the bottom.

The relase was added to your merge queue if you scroll down
2022-11-14 31854, 2022
elomatreb[m]
Go to the page of the second release and click merge again, and you will be presented with the merge options dialog
2022-11-14 31801, 2022
PelvicSorcery
I found it. It's a weird system.
2022-11-14 31824, 2022
PelvicSorcery
Do I want to append or merge?
2022-11-14 31856, 2022
elomatreb[m]
You want "merge mediums and recordings"
2022-11-14 31818, 2022
PelvicSorcery
It's yelling at me that the artists don't match.
2022-11-14 31851, 2022
PelvicSorcery
And do I merge the release or release group first?

What do you mean "yelling"?
2022-11-14 31845, 2022
elomatreb[m]
And the order of release vs. release group does not matter
2022-11-14 31807, 2022
PelvicSorcery
Warning: The recording artists do not match! Perhaps you meant to use the "append mediums" merge strategy?
2022-11-14 31838, 2022
elomatreb[m]
Right, this is intentional in your case, since you are trying to fix an incorrect artist
2022-11-14 31846, 2022
elomatreb[m]
So you can ignore that warning
2022-11-14 31854, 2022

ok

Can someone explain how editing works here? Everything I've submitted so far has been approved automatically, but a problematic change I accidentally made on an album that I'm trying to undo won't go through.
I added the second CD, but the first one doesn't exist and needs to be removed.

I don't know how to handle data tracks, so I don't know if that part of their edits is reasonable.

hi, whoever can vote this... https://musicbrainz.org/edit/94412511 . I created a new release group by mistake for the release I just added instead of using the existing release group :/

elomatreb[m]: yeah, I know, but I wanted to add also a pseudorelease to the japanese release, and it's easier to do it when the english release is in the same release group, and in a week I might have already forgotten about it :)

You will have to wait 2 days at least IIRC, since a merge is a destructive edit not even autoeditors can instantly approve them
2022-11-14 31823, 2022
antlarr
I understand that, but I still think if a "destructive edit" is done by the same person that created what will be destroyed less than 10 minutes after it was created (and there was no edit in the meantime by anybody else) it should be automatically applied
2022-11-14 31821, 2022
derwin
can anyone approve destructive edits?
2022-11-14 31832, 2022

I realized in responding to bardberic that I didn't know.

I think there's a few that can be approved - removing tracks of a medium, removing a URL maybe? Not even sure about that one
