This Page is Glorious History! |
|
The content of this page either is bit-rotted, or has lost its reason to exist due to some new features having been implemented in MusicBrainz, or maybe just described something that never made it in (or made it in a different way), or possibly is meant to store information and memories about our Glorious Past. |
|
We still keep this page to honor the brave editors who, during the prehistoric times (prehistoric for you, newcomer!), struggled hard to build a better present and dreamed of an even better future. We also keep it for archival purposes because possibly it still contains crazy thoughts and ideas that may be reused someday. If you're not into looking at either the past or the future, you should just disregard entirely this page content and look for an up to date documentation page elsewhere. |
Recent Style Changes
What is the status of this page? See discussion below.
This page lists changes in the StyleGuidelines. This makes it easier for Editors to track changes and apply them.
July 22, 2006:
SplitReleaseTitleStyle has been made official. This guideline deals with the titles of SplitReleases.
July 5, 2006:
CapitalizationStandardLatin has been made official. These guidelines need considerably more attention than usual (unless you speak Latin), so if you use them please make sure you follow them correctly. Otherwise, use what's on the cover.
June 22, 2006:
An amendment has been made to ReleaseEventStyle to accommodate the increasing number of Internet only releases. Please note this is only a proposed guideline.
June 21, 2006:
ExtraTitleInformationStyle has been updated. (album version) and similar phrases are not to be removed from track titles. As before, but more important now, SameTrackRelationshipType should be used to mark identical tracks on different releases, especially if they have different names because of the new rule (for example, the same song on an album and a single).
June 19, 2006:
SortNameStyle has been made official.
Discussion about this page
I believe this page is not used anymore. -- DonRedman
It wasn't updated with the latest changes but who says it is not used any more? -- Shepard 2006-11-01 21:03:30
Hmm, same problem as with the BugTracker for StyleIssues (see the StyleIssue page), I'll raise this on the StyleMailingList. -- DonRedman 2006-11-02 08:17:41
Starting in January 2008, there has been a flurry of activity on the mb-style list about cleaning up a large backlog of issues in the ClassicalStyleGuide. I think we need a tool to record those issues we close. It makes a lot of sense to resume using this page for the purpose. I'm going to start doing it, unless someone persuades me it's not a good idea. —JimDeLaHunt 2008-02-06.
Well, I kind of fail to see the purpose of this page (not to mention it contain really sparse content and obviously wasn't used anymore for a quite long time): trac does a way better job IMHO in tracking such things, while keeping this page in synch with the various issues requires somebody to go through the extra (redundant?) hassle. I would rather suggest this to point out to a custom search / report on trac to list all closed style tickets - or even suggest that somebody who has the extra time rather make mail digests sent to the style list. For now, I'm adding an history header to this page (it's already in that category), but please, if you think I'm wrong on this, just remove both the header and category, and use it by all means if it helps you in any way. -- dmppanda 2008-02-15 08:00:57
