Guidelines

If known, always link from the legal name of a person to their performance name, and do not create links between different performance names of the same person. If the legal name is not currently known, pick one performance name (ideally the most prominent) and link all other performance names to it (but not between themselves).

If a performance name was only used for a specific period of time, use dates to mark that.

See the guidelines for performance and legal names for artists for more info on when to use this relationship, and when to just use artist credits or relationship credits.
